Waiting for delivery of the above van, (thursday 26th hopefully).

Hoping someone might just know the answer to this.

The heating in this van is a different to the van we put in part ex, anyway i have read somewhere you can run the heating on electric via the blower system, is that true. Does the blower system as a rule make quite a racket, our old vans system did.

We,ve tried to download a coachman amara handbook or user manual for the year 2008 without sucess, any thoughts or ideas.

If you telephone Coachman Caravans direct in Hull on 01482 839737 they will supply you with the corresponding handbook you need for a small fee. I have bought two from them in the past which were for a Coachman Genius 1992 and a Coachman Amara 1999.

The heating can be operated by 240 volt electrics but the blower itself is operated by 12 volts so you have to ensure you have a good charged battery for it to operate efficiently.

The cover will be for the water heater take it OFF when using the gas but it can be left on for the electric be careful if you take it off when refitting make sure it snaps into position because you can easily loose them...
