Hi. I have a 1993 Elddis Nobility which has a Primus 2470 heater and a 716081  model control panel. On first outing I cannot seem to get any hot water either through the mains or gas. If I try on gas, the green light in the panel comes on and then immediately switches off. I heard a click in the the front locker area where the tank is fitted.There was gas to the cooker so the bottle is not empty.

I then tried the Immersion heater via the mains, the book says (if fitted?) which when switched on  had a red light showing. That went off off after a couple of hours but still no hot water. I felt the tank and it was cold.

Is this user error or I have I got a problem with the heating system?

 

I have attempted to upload image of panel without any luck

 

Thanks

This is from another forum, not 100% sure if it is the same model. but the topic did say your model no.

Pumps do stick through lack of use so if your's is a drop in the barrel one outside the look at base of pump to see if you can access the impeller disc which sucks the water up into the system. See if you can turn it with small screw driver then turn it about 4 times then replace in quater filled or full water barrel try taps again, if flows you're away.

Once pump operational.

The boiler won't be 12volt heating. Ony uses 12volt ignition on gas.

I don't know of primus but I would assume it has built in mains 230/40volt immersion element[It works on electric he said] like the truma in my Lunar and Ralley, now before turning on the mains heating immersion the water in the hot tap from intial cold start must flow free to ensure the boiler is full, switching on before the boiler is full can damage boiter element unless it has an 'overheat button'
It would also pay to get a registered gas fitter to check the safe workings of oven, hob and caravan heater checked also electrics. Most dealerships with workshop have trained staff. Search yellow pages.type in caravan sales/repairs for your area.
