Hi, my father has bought a three or four year old Bailey Pageant that has a Trumatic heater (sorry can't remember exact model). 

He has used it on electic hook up, but says he can't use it on gas. "Rubbish" I said as I walked into the caravan. 

But he is right - I cannot see how to light the gas!  It has the gas control on the top, the inspection window for the pilot and there is even a gas pipe to it running under the van. But, there is no pizzo electric starter button on the top (just a blanking plate where it should be according to the poor manual).  Any clues would be appreciated!

Cheers, Keef

my book says........ turn on gas/turn control knob to setting 1 to 10 and press it down as far as the stop.at the same time keep operating the piezo ignitor rapidly until the flame lights.keep the control knob pressed down for a further 10 seconds to allow safety pilot to operate/watch through the flame window for 10 seconds more to make sure its lit and the flame has not gone out.on my diagram the piezo is marked C.      THIS IS FOR THE TRUMA S 3002 EL  SPACE HEATER

Unless it has a 'auto' electronic igniter which means it will start to spark as soon as the control knob is turned from rest, if so either the battery is flat or the unit it faulty. It  is fixed to the base plate behind the front cover and can be felt/seen diagonally opposite the control knob at floor level
