Does anyone have any experience with the new Truma heaters FWC is now offering? If so, it would be great to know how well they work.

Ron, go into the Oliver trailers forum, there’s some commentary there.  Probably in General Discussion.

 

Our older Oliver has the Truma water heater, and we like it.  As I recall most folks are positive about the entire Truma package.

I checked it out. A lot of good information on the Truma products but very little real world reviews. Same with the rest of the internet searches I’ve done. I probably should stop calling it a heater because that brings up a lot of water heater threads. I’m very happy with my tank water heater so I’m just looking for info on the Truma Varioheat furnace. Thanks for the tip on the Oliver site. It helped get me started.

I have a Truma Vario Heat furnace in my Winnebago EKKO. It's fan works in auto mode so that it sometimes blasts away like most propane furnaces but it also goes into a low fan speed mode. I haven't used the furnace much as I currently have a 30 amp plug in and am using electric heaters.

FYI, we toured the FWC facility with Stan in the last 2 weeks, and Stan said they are not using the "combi" unit because it is too big, so they are using separate Truma heater and water heater units.  I was dismayed to hear this, as the benefits of the combi are smaller size, and higher efficiency.  I wanted to install a combi in my Puma build, but discovered the same thing, the combi is big.....

I've had and used the Combi now going on 7 years.  It has worked flawlessly -- sips propane and is extremely quiet.
