Whilst we were away at the weekend the gas bottle ran out, we replaced the gas bottle but are unable to ignite the water heater. When we press the button the green light comes on on the display panel but after a 30 seconds another light comes on showing that we are out of gas. As we were able to use the water heater prior to the gas running out we are at a loss to understand why it has stopped working.

Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated. The water heater works on electric but unfortunately we dont always camp where electric is available.

Just keep on trying it may need the gas bleeding through or your battery may be a bit flat for the igintion to work.

The gas flame bit that is on the inside of the cowell may be wet also.

google "our wanderer" and it has tons of info
