Yes, thanks for posting this information.
My motorhome ( an Early 2006 Dethleffs) also has a boiler/heater that contains a serial number in that range.
I don't see that Trumo have an agent in Ireland, so back to my own dealer next week.
Have to say I hadn't noticed anything unusual and the boiler / heater seemed to work fine.

Whoops, there is a line in that re-call warning which says .........
Note: All heaters tagged with the sticker “Truma checked” are not affected by the modification action.
I just checked again and the heater is tagged with the requisite sticker, so I guess I'm OK  |

| hi all,have just read through this post and im concerned that my mh may be affected its 6 months old,the problem is where would the serial no be located, as the boiler is under the fixed rear bed with only an inspection hole big enough to get your hand in to reset the dump valve,will i have to dismantle the whole of the bed area to get to the boiler?or would the info be anywhere else,cheers astra. |

Ours is a new MH and I rang Truma to check. I gave them the serial number and they said it did fall into the category but did it have a 'Truma checked' label on it. It does have one but I am not convinced that
a) it has been done and
b) if it has then why do we still get burning smells. I was also told it was the newness.
The unit is under the bed and gets very very hot. It only has a 2" vent hole in the floor so must be struggling to get air. Looking at putting a larger vent in. |

Why do you think the hole is to small?
Before you go bashing holes, speak to your dealer.
Converters will have detailed fitting instructions and technical back-up as to how heaters are installed. Incorrect fitting would make them liable. |

| we phoned truma at uttoxeter for a appointment to have our boiler modified it took 2 hours to do as they removed the boiler completely and replaced the top to metal instead of plastic . they made a very tidy job cleaned up properly and attached a sticker saying modified. first class service and i know it has being done correctly. len |

There is no other way that air can get in. If we leave the cupboard doors open under the bed the heat is dissipated into the van and the smell goes. I think it needs a vent to the outside somehow. You have more confidence in the convertors than I do! |

Have you discussed the problem with your dealer?
You should also consider your warranty, if its a new vehicle, before you bash holes.
With confidence, you have to put your trust somewhere or else you will end up a hermit. |
