Truma Gas/240V Water Heater
The Truma Water Heater has a powerful gas burner heating the water in your caravan or motor home quickly. It also has an electric heating element that heats the water even faster.
The boiler has excellent insulation to ensure that almost no heat is lost. If the water temperature drops, the electronics reignite automatically.
