3. Check your Alde
®
expansion tank. The glycol fluid level must be at least one inch above the
minimum line. This may need to be topped off after first use.
4. Make sure you have a shore power connection or a full propane tank and charged 12V battery.
The Alde
®
will run off 120V shore-power alone, or off propane and 12V.
5. If you have checked all the above, you are ready for operation. Power on the Alde
®
monitor
mounted in the nuCamp control panel, select a power source, adjust to your desired
temperature and enjoy the warmth and comfort of the Alde
®
Heating System.
Most of this information was obtained from the Alde
®
3020 Compact Manual. For complete details on
operating the Alde
®
Heating System, please see the included operator’s manual in your Owner’s Packet.

FLOW
Basic information about the Alde
®
Flow function:
1. The Alde
®
Flow functions as a preheater for your domestic water supply. About the size of a shoe
box, you will find it installed beside the boiler if your camper is equipped with it.
2. The Flow is not a hot water reserve tank but rather serves as a heat exchanger assistance to
the boiler.
3. There are no electric heating elements or combustion chambers inside the Flow.
4. The boiler pumps hot glycol into the Flow where it warms the cold water coming from the fresh
water tank by convection, taking the chill off the cold water. The warmed water is then pumped
into the boiler and further heated.
5. The Flow lightens the load on the boiler and increases the amount of hot water available for
showers. The boiler can provide more hot water with the extra assistance.
6. With the Alde
®
Flow installed there is an extra safety relief valve that needs to be drained when
winterizing the plumbing system.
7. Controls for the Alde
®
Flow are all built into the Alde
®
System. Operate the Alde
®
System as
normal. The Flow does not have separate controls.
Consult the Alde
®
Flow operator manual for detailed instructions on operation. A copy is included in
the Owner’s Packet.
AIR CONDITIONING
Important information about operating air conditioners in your camper:
• Starting an air conditioner early in the day will not only lower temperatures, it will remove excess
humidity and help the camper stay cool when the day gets hot.
• The air conditioner assists in ventilating the camper and promoting a healthy air flow by recycling
stale air and bringing in fresh air.
• Roof mounted air conditioners must be added to the total clearance measurement. If you hit an
object because of low overhead clearance, the roof top air conditioner will likely be damaged first.
• The air conditioner is the largest single load on the electrical system.
• The air conditioner only operates on shore power. When camping without shore power you will
need to use an appropriately sized generator to run the air conditioner. Use 30 Amp Shore Power
only. Running the system on a 15amp circuit can overload the circuit.
• DO NOT use the microwave and air conditioner at the same time. It will trip breakers.
