New owner of an 84 Caravelle GL with a Westfalia multivan interior. The attached picture is of an extra instrument bolted to the middle of the dash that the PO had never been able to figure out, even after 2 years of ownership. Has anyone got any ideas what this is for?
It looks like ATO used to manufacture ohmmeters - possibly from the same stable?
Pull it out and see what marks and numbers are on the back and what wiring there is to it.
Well, I took the unit off the dash and it says "Made in Taiwan" (or somewhere else closeby) on the back. Not much help.
There is no leisure battery fitted but wiring is in place for one. I will see if I can trace the dash units wiring to the leisure batteries, or failing that see if there appears to be 'extra' cabling from the rear of the auxiliary heater control.
They have never used ATO manufactured devices to my knowledge. Highly unlikely that anyone would find a controller from a USA manufacturer/distributor that carried out the function of European heater manufacturers controllers.
Pics of the wiring etc at the rear would help maybe.
The control unit is the same as the timer for my Trumatic E1800 gas heater. Mine is located just below the thermostat, on the side cupboard in the rear. Did it have a heater under the rear seat at some stage?
