Hello Mia, I'm not at all sure what your trying to say, the Cascade is the water heater and it's got one green, one red and one yellow light?

As it seems to be a dire emergency, if you go to my website link below and ring me between 6.30 and 7.00pm tonight on the MOBILE phone number, I'll see if I can help

wouldn't do this for just anyone you know!!

Recently during a very cold spell our Carver 3000 (I think) heater managed to use all the gas in a Calor 6kg.propane cylinder in 2 days.The heater was on low most of the time and only on full for short "warm-up" bursts.How much gas does this heater consume?

On Butane at 28-30mb it burns 274 grams per hour giving 3.7kw heat output
On Propane at 37mb it burns 239 grams per hour giving 3.3kw heat output

so 25.55 hrs running on butane and almost the same 25.1hrs on propane, you did well to get two days then!!

Hello,

We have recently bought a 1989 Abbey caravan. It is our first go at caravaning and we have a few problems in getting things going with the heater. The control panel which has a switch and a dial says 'Caravelle 4' on it. The heater which sticks out through the bottom of the caravan says 'Carver' on it and has a switch at the bottom right which when switched up blows air quietly and when switched down blows air more loudly but neither produce heat. When I switch on the 'Caravelle 4' the green light comes on, the heater tries to ignite, there is a sound like it has ignited, but then shuts off very quickly afterwards. It seems to have several goes at igniting and then the green light just flashes. Having read some of the other posts it seems like it is a common problem. We do not have a manual and would be very grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction as it is quite chilly in there at the moment and the children are desparate to eat diner in there tonight (even though it is sitting on the drive!)
Many thanks
Richard

It was indeed. Many thanks for the conversation earlier. Out of interest how much would it be to replace like for like with a new heater and control panel on the wall. I noticed back on bage 17/18 that you were doing reconditioned units for £120 but that was in 2005 so I would imagine the prices have changed a little.
Many thanks
Richard

Hi -
I have a Trumatic s3002 space heater, which I think is also sold as a carver 3000.

I has recently developed a fault. After lighting the burner the Piezo ignition stays on IE continues to spark after I have released the button.

I have checked the connections that I can get to and the unit by the regulator that seems to operate the ignition seems to be moving freely.

Can anyone tell me where the fault lies and how to fix it?

Thanks

John

Hi John, hopefully it's just a problem of damp, run the heater on gas for 24-48 hours at a fairly high setting and see if that fixes it.

If not get back to me.

Another John, A cheeky one at that! used to be sold as a Carver indeed LOL
Yes though the current Truma 3002 was indeed re-badged in the early 90's as the Carver 3000 and before that the SPL3002 right back into the late 70's

The spark is switched electronically so the problem is with the electronic control within the ignition module that contains the battery/batteries, or a connection to it
The micro switch in the gas valve rarely gives trouble so the connections at the other end are where you should be looking.
Also on older models, if one of the wires from the switch passes under a metal clip? this is an earth so make sure it is.
Don't forget to check the ignition wire connection on the back of the module, make sure this is clean and free from any corrosion.

After that then faulty electronics are likely to be the problem, but see if you can buy a new module locally on 'sale or return' or borrow one maybe? so you can test the system because cheap they ain't!!

Worst comes to the worst, you can always take the battery out or add a switch maybe?

Half a day won't do it, as I said you will need a fair bit longer, if that still fails you will need to send the elements to me for repair.

I'm on holiday on Thursday until the 16th of March, while I'm away I'm going to try and source a reasonably priced supply of new elements, all going well this will solve this problem once and for all.

Hi Gary,

Many thanks for your help on the SBE1800. It all works now - although sadly the hairdryer attachement is nowhere to be found! I have one other little probelm in that the drain off plug on the outside of the Cascade 2 water heater is completely sealed in their. Is the best thing just to drill it out and put another one in there?

Many thanks

Richard
