Not sure if it would be the same but this is what we used on our Compass 482 when we had it.  It was also on a BPW chassis. It's still somewhere in our garage (I think)    I would google it to get some details as to what may fit.  Good luck.

Thank you jayoutdoors that's exactly what we bought lol all fitted on caravan .

Update.

Today was first trip out in new caravan .so far all ok,caravan all set up correct etc and towing wasn't as bad as I was expecting but must say felt weird when towing ,even when doing a steady 50mph it felt like caravan was juddering forwards and back a little.was expecting it to be a bit smoother if I'm honest but all good and something to get used to I guess .again thank you all so much for great advice .it been really helpful .Thank you 

Great  ,you will enjoy ,towing gets easier . Hope the rain stops for you .

Been lucky so far .no rain ,touch wood, just a lovely sunny evening .weather's great so far lol 

Okay so just had our first trip,thoroughly enjoyed and we handled it ok I think lol .couple of questions as not sure if we did everything right.The control panel inside caravan,i got what looks like main power switch then next to that I got power switch for water I think as it has a tap next to it,these both were turned on.under that we have a switch with a thermostat which we also turned on and under that is another switch which I believe has 3 settings for amps, can't remember exact numbers off top of head but I think 2000 was on top which we had it on.now is that all ok or did we not need all switches on as we was electric hook up and never used the heater inside as it was quite warm.also does the cowl cover for the water heater I think it is need to be taken off whenever we use the caravan.sorry if not describing it right but hope you can help .thanks

Did you not get a handbook for the space and water heating with your caravan, either Truma or Alde? If you did, it will explain how both the space heating, and the water heating works. If you didn’t, then Google is your friend. They are in essence very similar to your home requirements, on or off, with temperature gauges. The only thing you need to know then is the ampage of the hook up you are attached using. Lots nowadays are 16amps, but occasionally you might hook up to. 10 or even 6 amp, and this is where you need to be careful how high you set your temperature, otherwise you could trip the system.

Your members handbook possibly has some guidance in there as well regards ampage. 

We did get alot of handbooks I must confess but I left them at home when we went away oops but will look over them before our next trip but just thought I would get advice from here til I do in case I missed anything lol only time we tripped out was when wife went to use hairdryer.not a low amp one but now know she needs one for next time.learning curve I guess lol 

We’ve probably all tripped the bollard at some point Dean, it goes with the hobby!😁 Could be a good idea to find somewhere for essential information though, even after 35 years, and most of those with the same van, we always carry our handbooks. Could help solve a simple problem a lot cheaper than getting someone in. We use a few low amp Sites, it’s second nature now to turn off heating before boiling electric kettle, then turn it back on, but it’s all a learning curve, and the main thing is to have a good time👍😀
