The outside temperature reading in my Peugeot cab dashboard is reading several degrees too low. Ditto for the Truma electronic panel in the habitation area. Is this likely to be a sensor problem or calibration? It has been working fine. I assume the Truma is picking up the signal from the cab?

    Outside air temperature displays usually get their info from a sensor on the front of the car ... lower valence area. As your motorhome is based on a commercial vehicle I would doubt that the habitation area uses the same sensor ..... but could very well be wrong  (I normally am at home 😞)

    My Coachman has a habitation temp display on the main panel above the door, it's often different from that on the Alde panel.

    I think the outside air temp sensor for the dashboard display is in the RHS door mirror (the LHS has the aerial I think)....

    Can't help with the Truma issue sorry....
