Hi,
Since we're now coming into autumn/winter (though how would we tell after the summer just passed) I thought it time to try out the heating in the van. I'm hoping to keep using it as much as possible and possibly get away skiing in it if there's any snow on the Scottish hills.

It's a 1996 Autosleeper Harmony with Propex blown air gas heating.

When I turn it on, the fan starts and air is blowing through the vents but then after a few seconds it cuts out and there is never any hot air. The instruction manual suggests that if the van has stood for any length of time it may be air in the pipes. My question is, is there any recommended way to bleed the air out of the system? Or could there be another problem?

Thanks in advance for any help.
Robert

I've got exactly the same problem with the Propex in my van.

Having it serviced tomorrow, so hope it will be sorted.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
