I have looked in the swift archive of hand books, but they do not go back that far as the Alpine then was made by CI caravans at Norwich.Actually a 1974 Alpine was my first brand new caravan, a long while ago, but i think all i did to light it was keep gas tap pushed in on maximum and operate igniter until i see a flame through the small window inside fridge and keep tap pressed in for about a minute and then release the tap and it then stayed alight.
If its that old then it could be anything, failed elements, coolant leaked out, igniter failed, etc. Is it a 3way or 2 way fridge? Does it work in any mode at all?
