Questions and Answers

    What to do if there is no gas in my Fiat Motorhomes?
    • C

      First, check if the gas bottle is empty and change it if needed. Then, ensure the gas isolator tap and the regulator tap on the gas bottle are open. If the external temperature is too low (below -42 °C for propane or 0 °C for butane), wait for warmer weather. If none of these steps work, there may be a defect in the built-in appliance.

    Why is my starter or living area battery not charging in 240 V mode on my Fiat Capron T135 Motorhomes?
    • R
      Ryan WatersAug 17, 2025
      Several factors could be at play. Begin by checking the jumbo flat fuse (40 A) and the flat fuse (2 A) in the living area battery and replace them if defective. Ensure that the battery cut-off switch on the transformer/rectifier is switched on. Also, the living area battery might simply be discharged, so try charging it. If none of these steps resolves the issue, the charger module in the transformer/rectifier may be defective.

      The issue might stem from a defective bulb. Replace the bulb, ensuring you note the correct volts and watts specifications. Alternatively, the fuse on the transformer/rectifier could be defective, in which case, replace the fuse.
