We have a Rapido caravan made in 2000, with a Carver "Cascade Rapide" water heater, presumably from the same year.
I realise this is practically Roman History by now, but please, if anyone out there knows about these, I'd really welcome any advice!
The only trips we've had so far have been on EHU, when it works perfectly, and thus haven't been using the gas side.
It ignited straight away, and heated well last time I tried it, but that was some months ago. I hadn't realised you have to keep reminding these things to work even if you don't need them at the time!
Now we'd like to use it again to go off-grid, and it's not playing. I have the book of words but it doesn't cover the display I'm getting.
The control panel has three lights: green shows all's well and working. Yellow shows insufficient battery power. Red shows it hasn't ignited. There are various two-light options given in the troubleshooting section for displays, but nothing for all three at once.
I'm getting all three!
I've run the gas cooker, lit the gas in the fridge, made sure it's got water coming through to the hot tap, and the battery's charged fully. I've tried repeatedly, with the prescribed minutes between attempts.
So - any comments, please?
It's not a complete tragedy if it won't, we can kettle-heat washing water if need be, but it's nice and convenient to have things working.
Thanks,
Richard
