It is the model with the vertical row of lights on the wall switch. Green at the top, then below it one for low battery, and then at the bottom a light for flame failure. The caravan is a 1999 model.

When switching on, green comes on closely followed by the flame failure. Sufficient gas in bottle, but I know that air in the pipes is also a common cause. After switching it off and on quite a number of times it eventually stays lit and heats. Trouble is, next day, with no interuption to the gas supply, its the same lengthy repeated on/off routine to get it lit again.

Does something need cleaning maybe, could the burner be dirty from lack of use? We use the caravan very regularly, at least once a month all year round, but as I said, mainly on electric.

Any suggestions?
