Can I replace the MonoControl CS or DuoControl CS from Truma with products from the Caramatic line from GOK after ten years?
Is your gas pressure regulation system coming to the end of the 10-year replacement period? And you’re already looking for a replacement. Here, you will find the Caramatic line from GOK, including crash sensor with pendulum solution. You’re wondering whether you can also replace products from other manufacturers – for example, the original series (up to year of manufacture 2018/2019) of the Mono or DuoControl CS from Truma for gas supply whiledriving.
No matter which technical system it is all about, one thing is usually the same: If you change the manufacturer of a component, this usually results in larger unit interventions in the system. Installation dimensions do not match or the connections are different. This can result in a time-consuming and cost-intensive conversion.
Complex conversion?
Does this also apply to LPG systems in motor caravans and caravans? Do I have to convert the entire system accordingly, if I’m considering, for example, replacing the Truma DuoControl CS with the GOK Caramatic DriveTwo?
No, on the contrary: if, according to DVGW worksheet G 607, the replacement of the gas pressure regulator is due after ten years, you can replace the Truma MonoControl CS or DuoControl CS one for one with the GOK Caramatic DriveOne or DriveTwo.
No additional costs thanks to Caramatic
How does this work? It’s very simple: The current Caramatic line from GOK is identical to the original (up to year of manufacture 2018/2019), silver-coloured series of Truma Mono and DuoControl CS.
