Hi,
Just back from two weeks away but need a question answered.

As soon as we plugged in hook up could hear a "clicking" from water heater.We were using site electric and not gas but the clicking seemed to be the ignition for the water heating on gas.Turned on gas for cooker but clicking was still there.Water and heating worked fine so pulled the connector from heater under seat.Any idea whats caused this as going to "rough it" in two weeks as the site has no hook up. Thanks.

Well to be honest I read it last night and I've still not got a tube of glue!

I don't though see how it's the water heater, but possibly the vans water system pressure switch which is generally right next to the water heater?
This is generally caused by low battery and it needs adjusting to compensate.

As your on hookup the battery is unlikely to be at fault, so perhaps a leaky non-return valve allowing water back into the aquaroll? and the pressure switch is constantly re-priming the systems?

Just a guess?!

There is usually a small switch which will have a red LED on to turn the gas on and off. Sounds like the water heater still has the gas heating side turned on.

If it is the water pressure switch, it's possible that it has been knocked out of adjustment while loading things into the locker. Does the water pump start pulsing along with the clicking?
