The Cascade mk2 does not have an 'overflow' although this is not the first time I've heard of one being fitted!
I wonder if it's there to relive pressure as the water heats up?, this way when you use a cold tap the hot cannot force it's way back through the cold water inlet and warm the cold water?
Th point being, the Cascades cold water inlet fitting should contain a non-return valve inside to stop this happening with therefore no need of an 'overflow'
I would first get rid of the overflow by connecting the hot pipe direct to the heaters hot outlet at the top, and then see how the system works, as I said it's shouldn't be there in the first place so nothing should 'blow' up!!
As we don't know how old this van is, there are two exceptions , first, the Cascade mk1 1980-4 had a pressure release but that's all under the van.
Second, Carver used their own version of the Truma Ultrastor on ABI vans between 82 and 84, this was known as the Carver 'B0' and used a combined pressure release/drain valve with a lever to lift for draining, but, not connected to the hot pipe I don't think?
