Hello All,
I month on and really enjoying the MH life! Been away every weekend (wild camping first weekend) and campsites thereafter. We really enjoy it and our MH is the best (I am bias of course!!
Still trying to get to grips with everything and have a few questions:
1. Where is the leisure battery on the RT6844?
2. When heating the interior using max electrical wattage (which I think is 1800W) there isn't much heat coming out the vents. Is this normal? Should I run on mixed heating (ie gas and electric for full effect?)
3. Getting a 'STOP' and 'BATTERY' light flickering on then dashboard for about 5 mins then disappears. Battery has good charge (reading approx 14 Volts) so alternator seems to be working OK. Any thoughts?
All feedback appreciated and thanks again for your help.
We have leisure battery under passenger seat. We have put another under bench seat at front.
Yeh we had issues with heating as our last van had truma gas only and it always seemed to be whirring away this one we found out doesn't whirr unless its going onto boost so just gently heats it boost does blow your socks off though. Needs both gas and leccy on to do it as leccy only is wubbish.

No idea about the third one though.

Thanks Greenie,
I really do luv the Detlheffs and so glad I picked it over the Knaus! Do you wild camp / campsites or a mixture of both?
Both but a doddle now with extra battery - all weekend using tv, 4 of us cooking, showers can last on one battery - not sure what using heating would be like but 2nd battery is brand new linked but not tandem so we could technically last at least 4 days with no hook up.
Location: In the badlands on the border of Staffordshire and Cheshire just out of earshot of the M6 and WCML

You wanna be careful Dave the Government's already in bother with the FBU with their plans for a civvy fire service or something (sorry didn't read the details in the paper at the weekend).
First time I went to Canada I heard the sirens etc and expected a red fire wagon to roar past and it was a big disappointment, a gungy sort of creamy yellow colour. What's that all about?

Well there is a lot to be said for mohomes that have done a fair few miles and those that have not! ours is now 3 years old got it at 2 and half it had done about 6k miles in those 2 and half years which is nothing for a van hardly run in - run in being the key phrase. The Truma we don't think had been used very often the shower never had definitely.
There was a rather pungent rubbery burny kinda smell when we first started to use it to the point it switched itself off and wouldn't heat any water. Turns out it needed frequent use to get it going.
Now it works fine but must say we were quite disappointed in it to start with thinking it was a fault.
Got a horn fitted too so now everyone knows we coming! snigger
