These are the most simple fire to operate but first you must get under the van and check the two steel gas pipes that come down from the gas control valve. There is one thick and one thin pipe and both happily rot away under the van to the point they will leak gas. Clean them up and then give them a scrape with a sharp knife and if you cannot scratch a clean line through the rust then they must be replaced. Pay particular attention to the inside of the tight bend in the thin pipe where it turns into the burner box, any 'pitting' here and again it must be replaced.
another question for Mr arc systems, do you know the gas consumption on this heater, im going for a week in september, and if i need to use it, i want to know how much gas i will be supping!

Don't suppose you could give me some idea of how much this would cost? I just took a look at the steel pipes under my van and they are very rusty. Would I be looking at a complete replacement of the heater or just the steel pipes? I'm in Lincoln, do you know of anyone in the Lincoln area who could do the job?
Does anybody please know or have would be better a diagram of the the back of sh1800 as my tubing and igniter have fallen away and would like to know how it goes back together,A picture or site please ive a rallyman Abi if that helps.
