I was wondering where people have there ultra heat thermostat and controls in the caravans we are just fitting ours and can't decide where the best place is photos would also be great.

Ours is a troll 550 but all ideas are helpful. If we don't position it above the fire itself we need anextension kit and as its montes to the caravan we want topsoil ion it tight in the first place. I know you guys will help you have all been so helpful

Our control/thermostat is mounted on the side of the wardrobe above the fire and frequently turns the Ultraheat off before the van is warmed sufficiently.
There is a remote sensor kit available which comes with a 5 metre lead. I think it overrides the thermostat but the control stil operates so you could choose the control unit position for convenience and put the sensor in a cooler part of the van.

near the door low down or front these are the coolest parts of the eribas
although depends how handy want the on off switch

You would think so wouldn't you but the thermostat on max cuts out at about 19° C in the living area leaving much of the van cool.
It cannot be increased (over ridden? over rode?).

The remote sensor is a small black button thingy about the size of a 10 pence piece.
It will be mounted on the furniture somewhere and connected into the fire by means of a cable with a small jack plug.

The main control usually goes on the outside of the wardrobe, I had problems initially with my Ultraheat that it would cut out when the inside of the wardrobe reached the set temperature. You can buy a temperature override kit, it just plugs in at the bottom and then the thermocouple bulb is strapped the the bottom of the gas fire. It works really well, I got mine from Arc systems, it came with a very easy to follow instruction sheet

Do you know what the part is called and how much it would cost approx as I can't see it on the link just an email to contact the company. Also company is not to far from me so double bonus.

here is one to compare with your chosen company

I ordered one last night off eBay and it was £16 with free delivery.

The bypass thermocouple units should be a standard fixture if the Ultraheat units are been fitted by Eriba dealers, surely it must be common knowledge that by putting the controls on the wardrobe above the fire it is going to keep cutting out...
