thanks for your replys i have had it working but one more qustion do you have to have the gas fire on for it to work

as it is supposed to work of electric ,also do you have to have the carver 2 on for the hot water because that is also supposed to work from electric,

keep the electric fire down to 1000 if your using the hot water heater as well on electric.

hi

i had the fire down low but i could still see the pilot light on , i think the fire is gas and electric??? as i can hear the blower going through it

thanks moe

The fire only heats on gas with a 12v fan for the blown air, theres no mains electric heating.

The fan works by having it on 'A' for automatic or the other 'on' position is manual.

On manual you set the speed with the dial and it stays at that speed, on automatic you set the maximum speed and it speeds up and down within that set range dependent on the fires temperature.

With the water heater, if it has mains electric heating there will be a white plastic box on the end of the water tank which sticks out of the insulation jacket. If it's gas only heating the end of the tank has just the insulation showing. 

oh right thank for that gary i think i know now how it works,but i have 2 switches with red lights on 1 is by the heating cantrols and the other one is in a unit under the fridge.

lol am i thick or is caravaning just complicated.

i have a static caravan soso easy lol

thanks moe

My website and download the SL3002 manual, it's identical to yours with a different fire front

You can download the Cascade 2 manual here http://www.ukwebb.plus.com/cascade/

The water heater on mains uses a 'fused switched spur' that's the switch with a light. The one near the heater I guess will be for the water heater, if you can trace the wire leading from the back of the water tank and make sure the tanks full of water before switching on.

It takes about 45mins to fully heat a tank of cold water

i really want to thank you all for your help i have it sussed now , am l lot more happier about going in the caravan now i know how everything works lol.

i was just about to throw it on ebay lol i had it all ready to go on when i got garys email and printed and tested everything and every thing is working i think it is going to take me a while to get used to all this hard work,

thanks againn to everyone who replyed with there help most apreciated.

you can always rely on your fellow caravaners/campers to help you out when in doubt, thats the beauty of this site, but were you told about the hospitality charge? make sure you have a fridge full of the good stuff just in case you meet up on site
