hi all just collected my van and have two little problems, the cascade blow air heating is only blowing cold air when in electric mode, i have turned the thermostat up but nothing changed, on the panel it has 5 setting 2 gas modes  a fan mode and two electric modes and i wont work on any of the electric ones, second problem is the gas fire wont light spent ages trying to light it no gas was coming through and no spark when i tried the ignition, i have taken the ignition unit to pieces and there is no battery in it, i just hope that is all it needs a new battery but apart from that everything seems fine at the moment fingers crossed, any advice would be welcome

thanks all

hi tango thanks for your reply, i left the blow air running for a while but no warm air came through at all, and its the ignition on the gas fire that has no battery, not tried the fridge coz i allways run that of my electric hook up

I had the same prob in my last van, the thermal fuse had gone causing the element to not work. I got a new kit from Gary at arc systems and all was good.

Also the gas ignitor should be peizo, well it was on mine and on my current truma fire.

The back of the fire has to get warm first either by gas or electric and when it does the fan should blow out the warm air through the vents. It takes a while getting warm though and some getting used to as well but I don't think the system is very good actually. The fan actually operates on 12 volt power source so ensure you have a fully charged leisure battery.

hi gary had a good look round and can not see any reset switch, and when you say the mains isolation switch do you mean the main unit where the MCBs are, the reset kits you how do i get one and how do i fit one

thanks for your advice

Hi gary had a look at the photo and I had a good look round and felt all over no sign of the switch, the unit is in the bottom of the wardrobe, i do have a carver water heater under the front seat, any idea where will i find the fused switch spur you mentioned, sorry about all the questions

again thanks for all your help
