Operating a Bailey Advance without hookup
I have a Bailey Advance 76-4 with the Seattle Control Panel and the Truma CP Plus panel. I cannot work out how to operate the CP Plus functions when not hooked up to the mains. What I need a step by step guide. Anyone help?

As BB suggests you need the 12v on which on the Seattle Control panel is "Master On". You should then be able to scroll through the menu on the iNet screen to Gas (cylinder icon). Once selected it should solid black rather than outline black. Once the temperature is set the gas cylinder symbol will flash until it reaches the temperature set.

It’s worth remembering that the flashing flame indicates heating by any fuel and not just gas.
My biggest problem is forgetting to ‘OK’ a setting and then wondering why it doesn’t work. 😄

The sequence is
Switch on the Master Control Panel (Seattle).
Fill the combi boiler with water.
Switch on the Truma CP Plus Control Panel.
Set the energy source to Gas.
If hot air heating is needed set the Van temperature (Flashing Van symbol) to the desired level. If no heating is required i.e. during the summer leave this off.
Set the water temperature to the desired level
and it all should work?

We get an error code if we forget to turn the Truma panel off before disconnecting the EHU. Quite scary the first time it happened.

My initial request was prompted by various error messages appearing on the CP Plus and having difficulty using the reset function. One thing seems to be that there is a delay after prompting a reset so patience is in the order.
My previous post regarding use without the electric hookup was a question for the experienced users of this system. As I understand it to get the combi boiler to work and get heat/hot water when there is no mains electricity I should
Switch on the Master Control Panel (Seattle).
Fill the combi boiler with water and turn on the gas.
Switch on the Truma CP Plus Control Panel.
Set the energy source to Gas.
If hot air heating is needed set the Van temperature (Flashing Van symbol) to the desired level. If no heating is required i.e. during the summer leave this off.
Set the water temperature to the desired level and the flame symbol above the water temperature should flash until the temperature has been reached.
Please correct me if I have got the sequence wrong.

Took the plunge. Currently touring In France. Joined an organisation called French Passion. This gives you access to hundreds of off-grid sites. There is no charge to use these sites - the majority have no facilities other than access to water. Stayed on a vineyard south of Blois. Owners very friendly. Invited for a wine tasting and ended up buying a half case of wine. Whilst there is no obligation to buy it was a great opportunity to buy direct from the producer.
Fridge & water heater worked perfectly on the gas - it was so simple.

Glad everything worked out for you and you had a good time. The Truma electronic control panel is great but it does take a bit of getting used to. We have the Alliance and it took me a while to work out the controls.
