Hello everybody.

Just bought a 2003 Lunar Ariva. Bearing in mind the sub zero temperature I tried to light the Truma gas fire prior to going away tomorrow. Plenty of spark no pilot light. So i hooked up and tried the electric option, plenty of air all of it cold. Fridge and gas rings work ok does anybody know if the gas fire has it's own isolater somewhere and why is the electric op[tion not heating up?

Help please Roger

Do you have a small control panel, usually with two knobs, situated probably on the side of your wardrobe? One will be for the electrics, the other will be for your gas thermostat?

Have you removed the Plastic flue cover from over the vent on the outside of the caravan before attempting to Light the gas? failure to do so will prevent the fire from lighting, as its a safety feature that keeps the flue clean whilst traveling and when in storage, but is the main flue vent for fumes when in use.

Finally does your caravan have a Blown air duel fuel type fire, or is it just a gas fire type fitted to the front of your wardrobe with no extra ducting to your washroom?

Hi Rodger we have an ariva not used the heater on gas just on hook up I put the fan on either off or on auto and wait till it heats up ... Under the bunk there are two switches attached to the bottom of the wardrobe one is to switch the water heater on the other for
the heater so you need to check the heater one is on .
Hope this helps
