Yes, the Combi D6E can replace a Combi 4, though you may need to adjust ducting due to the slightly larger size. The mounting points are similar.
Operation & Performance
Water heats from 15°C to 60°C in approximately 25 minutes (water only) or 85 minutes when heating both water and air.
Yes! The Combi D6E operates on 230V electric (900W/1800W), diesel, or both combined for maximum 6900W output.
Fuel consumption ranges from 0.2-0.6 l/h depending on heat setting. This translates to excellent efficiency - roughly 10-50 hours of heating from a 20L diesel tank.

Yes, the Truma D6E can be controlled from your phone using the free Truma app in two ways:
Bluetooth Control (included): Control your heating and hot water directly via Bluetooth when you're nearby - perfect for adjusting settings from the front cab without having to access the physical control panel. This built-in feature works within standard Bluetooth range (typically 30-50 feet).
Remote Control (optional): For control from anywhere with internet access - such as pre-heating before you arrive at your motorhome - you'll need the optional iNet X Connect module (sold separately). This allows you to monitor and control your system remotely via Wi-Fi/mobile data connection.
Maintenance & Warranty
Truma products come with a 2-year manufacturer warranty from date of purchase, extended to 3 years with annual servicing.

Customer Reviews
Thank you fot great service, and excellent price, Product is very good quality as expected from Truma.
As we discussed, the item has arrived on a pallet absolutely battered, I’ve opened it and inside it all looks in one piece but was scattered all over the box with smashed the packaging. I will be unable to check it fully for another couple of months.
Truma has designed the 6E to be relatively quiet, which is a big plus if you're sleeping close to the unit. Fan noise is minimal on lower settings.
It's one of the best all-in-one heating solutions currently available for campervans and motorhomes.
