Calira Charger EVS

Of all the problems with Knaus motorhomes the Calira EVS 12v supply and charger unit apperars to cause more problems than anything else. Many of us are now on our second or third units under warranty. I believe that a new unit is is the region of 600 euros once out of warranty.

A Knaus owner in Ireland (Liam O'Gogain) has noticed that one difference in the latest model of this charger is an uprated capacitor. He has kindly supplied the photograph below. There may be other, less obvious, differences.

At the moment I have recieved no reports that replacing the capacitor actually fixes the charger. Should anyone know of a source of supply for the capicitor please email webmaster@knausowners.com and I will add the details here.
