Hi

I suggest that you post this question in the trailer tent/folding camper section. you'll find the pennine camper users mainly there.

Unfortunately I haven't got the answer to your question, but I'm sure the pathfinder users will.

Box?

In ours, the water heater is under the offside seat, close to the sink.

There's a valve next to it on the floor of the camper (still under the seat). One way round is closed the other is to the drain position.

It sounds like yours is set to drain.

I am pretty sure these valves are included in the Generic Video for Pennine Campers.

The Box is possibly the gas vent cover for the water heater , dont use water heater on Gas with out removing it , or you may find it embedded in something when it blows off ,they are awkward to remove ,tip is to press down somthing pointed in centre top then pull off ,

Many thanks John for your reply,I guessed it was some sort of vent but cant get the lid off....ther e is a marking on it which suggests pressing the catch down & twistig anti clockwise..its possibly siezed up somewhat.

                                    Cheers, Jacko.
