James Cook Forum

I bought a beatiful James Cook year 2007 and i have a question ? Which auxiliary heater It is mounted on my camper Webasto or Eberspacher ? Is it the water model or air model ? I need to check something because it seems that the temperature is not hot with low outside temperatures ? thanks in advance for your advice you experts !

Hello boatmen,

It is an EBERSPAECHER water version D4W SC.
The heat output is quite..... bad , 2 winter packages have been offered, one with a larger heat exchanger and better fan; the other is a air-tronic EBERSPAECHER version situated underneath the right seat.

There is a German description about this two improvements.

I thank you for the information definitely have to do something because I make use predominantly winter. Thanks a greeting.

Hallo boatman,
First of all i would check the Heating -/Cooling LIQUID - is there enough in the system?
And: is there some AIR in the system, which should not be there?
In this great Forum you can find a German manual somewhere....
Regards

Hallo Ulip, where can i check the fluid level of the system? And can i add water or radiator fluid?

The compensating reservoir is placed unter the bathroom sink. You have to loosen about four screws. The rest of the coverage is attached with velcro.

You should only use heaterfluid.

thank you very much I will do this check to see if the bad performance of the heater is due to this problem

Here the link to the german manual i wrote..

It won't be. My reservoir was full at the time and under 7° Celsius I was freezing to death. Without any modification you won't get any use out of the original heater.

In fact I tried to lift a full tank also air from the circuit but the air coming out is lukewarm. I expected better.
