Jerry,
If you know the parts you need, we may be able to pick them up for you in
Germany. The Truma website lists dozens of service partners all over
Germany so it shouldn't be too difficult.
I was looking at one that is close to our "base of operations" and they even
had a web site in english:
http://www.rutenkolk.de/fs_gesamt.php?id_haendler=00000281&id_lang=00000002
You may want to drop them an email to see if you can get a little help.
Cheers,
Jeff

That was funny, thanks.
Now I have a question for you or anyone else on the list who imports parts
from
Europe.
I have a Trumatic e-1800 propane heater in my '90 Westy, that has stopped
working. The
heater, not the Westy. It is made by Truma in Germany. They were never sold
in North
America and this is a superseded model.
Everything works as it should right up to and including ignition and burn,
but the
signal from the flame rectification electrode is not getting to wherever it
is
supposed to go to tell the igniter to stop sparking and the burner to keep
burning, so
everything shuts down.
So, IF (and that's a big IF) I could identify what parts I need, such as a
flame
rectification electrode and the controller board, and they would have to
come from the
model that replaced this one, the E-2400, and if they are backward
compatible, could
you get them???
Or even a complete new Trumatic E-2400 (and we are talking big bucks here)?
Truma in Germany and their distributor in the UK have not been very helpful.
I just don't want to start all over with a new install of a Propex under the
seat.
The Trumatic fits in the little compartment to the left of the fridge,
requires only
one hole in the floor, few other modifications and you can still close the
door (after
slight mod to the door :)). It also has two fan speeds/heat levels and uses
only .6
amp on low.
Any help from anyone would be appreciated. Once you have a furnace in your
Westy, it's
hard to go back to cold-weather camping without one.
Jerry
