HI,
NEW TO CARAVANING !

BOUGHT A 2ND HAND MARDON CLASSIQUE

I AM WAITING FOR A WATER PUMP TO ARRIVE HOWEVER.....

WHEN I TURN THE ELECTRICS ON THE VAN THERE IS NO LIGHTS ON THE CASCADE SWITCH COME ON, EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMS TO BE OKAY. (ON 240V AND 12V)

ON CLOSER INSPECTION, THE WIRES FROM THE KITCHEN TAP ARE NOT WIRED UP TO ANYTHING - WHERE SHOULD THEY BE?

SHOULD THE LIGHT COME ON THE HEATER IF THE PUMP IS NOT PLUGGED IN?

IF ANYONE HAS A WIRING DIAGRAM I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL

THANKS

GARY

ARGGGHHH - SHOULD I HAVE JUST BOUGHT A TENT?

you dont say what year the van is, the cascade needs 12V to work, as well as gas, check the fuse on the 12V side, mine is on a fuse by itself. if there are no lights, I would think the 12V is suspect.

the taps may not be wired if the water is on a pressure switch, the same taps are used in both pressure and microswitched systems, but the micro switches are not wired in.

THANKS VERY MUCH,

I WAS TOLD THE VAN IS A 1992 WHEN I BOUGHT IT, I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT MARDON WENT INTO LIQUIDISATION IN 1991 !!! (HOW CAN I FIND OUT ?)

I HAVE STILL TO CONNECT THE GAS ALSO, THIS MAY BE A FACTOR.

I HAVE ORDER A PUMP FROM EBAY DUE ANY DAY NOW, SO I CAN TEST IT OUT.

I WILL DOUBLE CHECK AND SEE WHAT THE SITUATION IS WITH THE FUSE.

THANKS

GARY

Try this - http://www.mardoncaravans.co.uk/index.htm

The original Mardon caravan firm did go into liquidation in the early 90s but was bought out by some of the workers and now supplies spare parts, services and repairs etc. Might be worth giving them a ring.
