The first job is to get the water through the hot taps with no bubbling (then the cold taps), this is to fill the hot water tank.
Make sure the mains and or gas is turned on, then try again.

To honest we need to know if the water heater is gas, electric or both. I'm also assuming you've got the EHU mains cable plugged in and all the trips are on. The same applies to the caravan heating. If the water heater won't work on gas check to see if there's a cowel on the heater vent on the outside of caravan, if so the water heater will not work, remove the cowel. As for the main heating make sure the gas is on and bleed through by turning on the cooker rings. I'm not sure about the age of your caravan but with my old age creeping on it sounds similar to my old Abbey Chorus.

I know you are new to caravan ing and it may sound abit of a hassle but once you get the hang of it it's a great way to get away to places you've never been. It's just a learning curve and best the holidays you've ever had.

The on board equipment seems the same as my Abbey chorus. As for your problems with hot water and heating would be the same advice I gave earlier. I'm sure it's nothing major. Best of luck and enjoy your many great holidays.

Just one thought. Is your caravan at home or in storage. If at home it makes things alot easier to play around with things to get it all working.

IF there's a cowl it will be very obvious, think rectangular removable cover with a vent below it.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
