Just had a very eventful weekend camping and to crown it all there's something wrong with the gas pressure in our conway crusader...it started off ok but got less and less and faded away on our first day.  Also, the water heating appears to be leaking anbd hubby reckons one side is riding lower than the other.  It's not very old, around 3-4 yrs and we had it from new. Can anyone help..have tried to get on conway owners club page but it's down. Argghhhh!!

If this is the first time you have used the camper this season it is possible that the water heater may have suffered damage from our freezing temperatures if it was not drained down completely at the start of the winter.

It was the first time,. tho normally v careful about draining etc cos it worries me it being outside over winter!

For your info, the regulator is a major industry problem (quote from Pennine).  Pennine replaced ours after working only twice on new unit.  Trauma water heater still developed a large crack with no water in, over past winter.  May consider this to be a winter problem and take out for storage during winter months.  

hope this helps.

I personally was not impressed to find out that the regulator has industry issues.  My direct reply to Pennine was, well why are you still using them then?   Does not make sense to use a known faulty product.

the best Idea is to replace the trauma regulator with the Clees regulator & a s/steel hose

gaslow supply a kit Cleese regulator ,s/steel hose,& 5year guarantee

I have just experienced the same problem after using my second hand Pullman for the first time. Cooker worked okay on testing in driveway (for about 10 seconds) then okay on first night (boiling one saucepan) but then on second night did not want to know. Just enough pressure to light then went out.

Anyone know if its possible to service a regulator? Surely cant be that difficult to unblock it can it? I have the suspected offending old style Truma.
