hi everyone, wee bit of advice needed, we bought our new to us van last year, Swift safari, 1999, we have never used the gas fire, because we always use the electric heating, my partner tried to light it at easter because the site we were on only aloud 6amp per van, not alot, plenty of tripping lol, so when we came home he thought he would explore our gas heater, it fires up but then goes out, it looks abit worse for wear too, which is very rare cause the van is in excellent condition everywere else, we were wondering if gas heaters are all standard and if we could replace our one???

Does it go out after it's been on for a while, or just when the control knob is released? If the latter, just hold the knob for a few seconds longer, until the thermocouple lets the gas flow properly.

No it goes out, the control switch is slack to, think its broke, strange thing is the heater looks very old compared to the van, , my friends van heater is in excellent nic compared to our,s.
