Help,

 

i have a bailey pageant provence 2006.  we used it for the first time last weekend and the heater seemed to be working fine, however after the first night it didnt seem to work.  it works fine with the gas but not the blow air heaters via the electric/mains.  the green light has gone out on the thermostat and doesnt even blow any air any more.  i am a novice so bare with me.  what do you think this could be?  ive been told it could just be a fuse....any help would be much appreciated.....

thanks

Normally there is a 10 amp fuse inside the switch itself on the wall.switch off all mains electric before you look.just pulls out in a straight line and the fuse slides out sideways.the blowers are 12 volt not 240 mains.if the green light is out it means you are not getting a supply of 240 volt at the switch.make sure the temp gauge is set at 9 when you start up check also the white box under the seat it is just possible it may have tripped out,depending on which box you have.just lift rocker lever up.

hi - thanks for that very much appreciated - very kind!

i have checked the fuse and it is only a 5 amp? im not very good with stuff like this, is this the problem do you think should it have a ten?  i have checked to see if it has tripped out and there arent any switches 'off'  everything else seems ok, apart from i cant get the Tv to give me any signal at all.

When you set your tv up.there is a disc aerial on roof and this has a booster inside the wardrobe,this must be switched on.after this wherever you go the tv needs to be retuned.so go to set up on your tv,installation and wait for channels to be found.if you have a digital tv that is,if not you need a freeview box.

Remember the blown air is just a fan. It isn't a heater and only circulates air so can actually blow cold.
