We have a Buccaneer Elan 15ek 1995.We are having a few problems with our carver fan master blown air heating.Every thing was fine in it up till this weekend.When we turn it on to slow, it blows cold air out of 2 of the 3 vents,but nothing is coming out of the seating area vent.Hubby pressed the reset button at the back of the unit,went warm for a while then it went cold,but it is also making a popping sound out of all the vents and at the back of the unit.It is the same on fast fan.Gas fire works fine any advice would be welcome....................Thankyou...................
I might suggest the ducting has fell off one of the two outlets from the back of the Fanmaster and this would explain the first problem. The second is probably a combination of problems but in a nut shell it's down to it's age.
It's now 12 years old, assuming it's not been touched then it's ready for an overhaul. The fan motor is good for roughly 6 months use, not much in months but actually 4500 hours spread over the years. Once though on it's last legs it overloads and damages the control pcb and it packs up altogether, strange noises are it's way of giving you fair warning! as is tripping out for no good reason.
I can if you wish do this overhaul for you and send it back with a 12 month warranty, please contact me direct for more details, phone number's under 'outfit' on the left
Sorry to be a pain but can you replace fans and bearings in caravan gas heaters that provide blown air heating from under the front seats of my Fleetwood Cavandish. Or, if not point me in the right direction of someone who can. Many thanks from Dave.
I think I know what you mean but exactly which type of heater?
From what you say and without a normal gas fire it's a Carver P4, a Truma E1800 or 2200 or perhaps a Propex?
If the van has a normal gas fire then it's either just blown air from the gas fire or a Fanmaster for 240v heating as well? what sort of control switch does it use?, how big, what colour, any name on it?
Through the years Truma have made a whole verity of heating systems. Some of the older ones use a shutter operated through a brake cable to turn off the air flow. By what you are saying, and looking at the year, roughly of your van, then I would say that the Truma-Vent start of the 90's to about 97 was fitted. There were 2 types of 12v motor and 2 types of 220VAC motor. One of each was electronically regulated. To mix the cold air with hot most were fitted with a thing called 'AirMix'. A brown slider control which opens and closes a vent in the air pipe from the heater. Fitted with a slower running motor. On these models the brake type cable comes off, or the vent stopps working through rust. These vents are tucked behind the heater and are a S*d to get to. Hopes this all makes sense, and is of some help to you. Best of luck anyway.
