I bought a used eldiss gulfstream from a dealer in Yorkshire in April which was then towed to the Isle of Wight where it is stored.  When we got there we (dual carriageway all the way-no speed bumps) we discovered that the electric heater did not work and upon inspection found it to be broken in half.  The gas heating is OK as are the slide and the fans.  The dealer does not want to know as we cant take it back to him.  I have tried Truma and various breakers but no luck. Might be prepared to buy a whole new (second hand) fanmaster but would obviously prefer to get hold of a replacement element.  Any ideas?

Thanks Gary.  I have had it inspected by a reputable repair chap on the IOW who took the fire out and found the element (I thought there was only one) had broken in half.  There was evidence from the service record that the fire had been taken out in 2008 so the consensus appears to be that it was broken then but everybody kept quite about it.  I suspect that the dealer tried the switches and found them to be woprking but he did not bother to check if there was was actually any heat coming through.

Anyway what I will do is to email the IOW chap and give him a resume of your comments.  Will get back to you when I have heard from him.  Thanks again
