Anyone had issues with to much cab heat?

Post by 2435mick »

Just got my camper on the road after 6 months of prep, driving it the cab area gets quite warm, the heat controls set to cold yet warm air is blowing through, now if it were winter-great but I plan a little trip to warmer climes (well, France) and I don't want to cook before I get there.

drop the spare wheel and you'll see the heater matrix valve the cable comes out of the clip and just needs popping back in its a 20 min job max easier if you have some one to move the cab controls whilst you look to see if everythings ok from the under side.

or the valve is in the off position but it's worn internally and allowing warm water through

Sorry, the bag melted and due to the volume it needs to be a large vessel so unfortunately issues with postage, perhaps I could e-mail you some, particularly as I have some on a BOGOF at the mo :ok :rofl :rofl :rofl
