Whole house here runs on LPG, had a similar problem that stumped every engineer that looked at it. In the end the ignitor was replaced and that did the trick. Seems that it was a case of a small particle of dirt in the wrong place but since the unit is sealed it cant be cleaned. (Sealed because of the high pressures used in propane use as opposed to town gas).

PLEASE remember that is not advisable to attempt any repair of this sort on your own. Even a normal gas fitter has to have a Corgi certificate  and also anotherm in the repair and fitting of LPG systems. I am pretty certain that you might even be breaking the law apart from the dangers.

We had a problem with our domestic central heating boiler, CORGI man spent a whole day on it, then called in his 2 mates, who found a leaf stuck in the air intake, causing the safety cut-out to operate.

Don't suppose this will be any help, but you never can tell. Good luck.

It sounds as though the safety device is cutting in when it shouldn't. Had a similar problem on my fridge last year. The mechanic thought it needed a new one but when he took it off it just needed re-setting to stop it cutting in when it shouldn't.

Haven't a clue how you sort it, sorry.

However, I'm just going to have to break the law as the one guy that is Corgi registered round here didn't have a clue.

I cant advise on the gaswork, but whilst it may not be advisable to do DIY gaswork, its not illegal. 

You need to be Corgi registerd to do gas work for other people but not your own.  

Thats the position for domestic premises, do what rules there are apply to Motorhomes anyway ?

I would suggest perhaps a faulty flame-failure device, but I would imagine that's part of the item you've ordered so hopefully you'll have it working very soon.

Best of luck

Glad you got it sorted in the end..
