Paloma water heater I think?, this dates it to late 70's I would say. There's also a vibrant Windrush owners club which can help on most matters, should be a link on this site somewhere

Notice your pulling it with a landy, I'd fit a Dixon-Bates 'shock link' on the towbar or you might find the caravan chassis cracking if you intend to tow very far. This stops vibration caused by the landy's cart spring suspension being transmitted through the towball onto the caravan chassis.

Are you using propane gas(red bottle)? if you have butane(blue bottle) your fridge wont ignite in this weather its too cold for butane to work reliably--
