Hi,
Thanks for your responses, Gary the ammeter clamp is a great idea and one I wouldn't have had without your help.
Dave - yes the unit did get hot without the fans running, although not sure I could say that the heat doubled with each step (500w -> 1000w -> 2000w). Yes there is a green light on the thermostat.
Gary - the power to the van was being delivered via a long cable on a drum (probably a bad idea for anything other than testing, made sure it didn't get hot, etc.) There is therefore some chance there was voltage drop although not enough to cause the effect I was seeing, or at least I doubt it.
I will report back when I've had a chance to test properly now that I have some idea what I'm looking for.
One thing I did notice is that the thermostat is in one of the front dinette bed boxes, which has both the heater duct running within it, and is directly in the line of the blown air outputs. From what I've read, this is double bad news and will mean that whatever I manage to sort out, it's not going to work correctly.
Therefore when I go back, I'll check all of this over, and if need be also install a remote thermostat attached to the gas thermostat, as described many times in other threads on this subject.
Thanks again for your comments
George
