Everything you need to install, set up and get started with CampMatic.

  1. CampMatic Box

    This is the CampMatic box — compact, pre-wired and ready to install.

  2. Locate the bench seat

    The bench seat in the VW Grand California, under which the service compartment is located. This is where the CampMatic box will be installed.

  3. Remove seat cushion

    The seat cushion is attached with hook-and-loop tape. Simply lift it off — no tools needed.

  4. Unscrew wooden panel

    After removing the cushion, the screws of the wooden panel become visible. Remove all screws and lift the panel.

  5. Open Truma cover

    Locate the cover over the Truma heater (marked with arrow and "open" label) and remove it.

  6. Connect JP12 plug

    Insert the CampMatic JP12 plug into the right free socket on the Truma heater.

  7. Unscrew control panel (CP Plus)

    The Truma CP Plus control panel is secured with 3 screws. Remove all screws and carefully flip the panel.

  8. Connect CampMatic box

    On the back of the control panel, disconnect the red 12V power plug. Insert it into the female JST-PH connector of the CampMatic box. Then plug the male JST-PH connector of the box into the Truma control panel. The CampMatic box is essentially connected in-line with the existing power supply.

  9. Reattach control panel

  10. Perform reset

  11. Verify CampMatic detection

    After the reset, check the Index menu for a new (third) entry. It must show T23.000 — then the CampMatic box is detected and ready. If not, perform the reset again.
