Installation is designed to be permanent and fitted adjacent to an external wall, so the supplied flue can be used.

The boiler is compact. It measures just 350mm X 350mm X 320mm which means it can be plumbed under seating areas or within cupboards.
The Ultrastore is a duel fuel heater. Water can be heated via gas; ideal for your time off grid or wild camping or the integrated 230V element allows the water to be heated by electric when connected to a mains supply. For a fast heat up both can be operated together to heat your water in just 15 minutes. When staying on sites with a small electric supply the electric element can be switched between 850 and 1350 watts to prevent tripping the supply.
As you use water the boiler will re-start to reheat water as you use it, allowing a second shower almost directly after the first.
The temperature of the water can be set anywhere between 30 and 70 degrees, individually through the dual thermostats. This really is a tried and tested methodology, testament to its popularity since its introduction many years ago.
As you would expect with a product from Truma this product benefits from quality construction to include a stainless-steel boiler tank, fantastic insulation, and an over pressurisation valve. The boiler is fine to use with pressure pumps up to 2.8 BAR which are standard in Leisure vehicles.
