It's sorted now. I presume either the gas or the water hadn't got through to start with, but now it's working just fine (and pretty fast at heating the water!)
I have one in my van and although I could easily swap it for a 'modern' Gas/Electric I have never seen the point. Glad you have yours sorted but if you do need spares I have plenty. ___________________ website: http://www.arcsystems.biz email: [Log in to view email] If you want to add your own question, just click on any 'reply to this message'
I'm a bit puzzled - if mine's not a Mark 1, what is it? As I said, it only has one light on the control, and it looks as though it flashes if there's no water or gas, but lights permanently once all is in order. So there's no way of seeing when it's up to temperature. However - it seems to working perfectly! Here's a picture of the control - sorry it's a bit blurred, but you can see there's a sliding switch and a single light. http://www.geocities.com/paulrooney2003/carver.JPG
It's still a Mk1 water heater though but used several control switches, type1 and 1a with three lights, 2, 2a, 3, and would had a sixth if it had continued passed 1984. All these later ones used one green light. Gary

Further to suggest it as a solution for 'amateurs' on here could be potentially life threatening. Sorry Tony that's my opinion and I can't contact you other than on here. ___________________ website: http://www.arcsystems.biz email: [Log in to view email] If you want to add your own question, just click on any 'reply to this message'
if you go and dismantle the fire only then you are breaking the law and no corgi registered fitter worth his salt will put it back together for you and certify it safe. so if you dont want to listen to help from others who are trying to help you and save you costly bills why ask for help? why ask for the advice just take it to a dealer
"so if you dont want to listen to help from others who are trying to help you and save you costly bills why ask for help? why ask for the advice just take it to a dealer " Gary wasn't the one asking for advice - I was. He was *giving* advice, and as his is clearly expert advice I am very grateful for it.
Have Got a Cascade Mk1 and a Caravell heater. Please can you advise on the problems I have got. Cascade Mk1, turn it on, all ok then after a while (30 mins or so)you can hear the unit turn off underneath the caravan and then the green light goes out completely. (no winking). Restart it, same thing again Caravelle heater, sometimes works (more often not), turn it on and it fires up for a while then green light starts to flash, I thought electrics or air in gas line. Have checked electrics, then are kicking out 14v. and gas line seems ok, cant detect any leaks of perished pipes. Any Ideas?? Adverts Currently On Preloved - Place an ad here for free
I've seen this thread about the piezo igniter; I have the same problem with a Carver Trumatic SLP3002. I tried to follow your instructions but I cant find any contacts to clean up, the piezo cylinder seems to be permanently fixed inside the housing. Can you help? I can send a photo if necessary. Regards Nev
First thought is it has got to temperature, has it? I'm really stuggling with this light going out though, does it flash if you turn the gas off and force it to fail and flash? The Caravelle, are you saying it lights but shuts down after several seconds, in other words the control is sometimes not recognising the flame is lit. If it works sometimes then check all the connections are perfect particularly the yellow flame recognition wire and black earth wire to the switch. Pull the connection block off the switch and push it back on a couple of times to scratch a fresh connection. Have a look at the flame while lit though the viewing window behind the front cover, it should be bright blue and 'dancing' very slightly on top of all four burners. There should be no sign of yellow 'lazy' flame on the burners although you might notice two orange flares higher above the flame rec and ignition electrodes. The control switch of both these is more or less the same, only the temperature range and position of sensor differ which might give you a clue. You can swop the Cascade one to the Caravelle and see if it makes that work better, BUT NOT the other way round. If you want to add your own question, just click on any 'reply to this message'
If no then they do come apart but as I remember the small cap is now that big mounting cup but it should still come out if you warm the cup with a hair dryer or hot air gun. ___________________ website: http://www.arcsystems.biz email: [Log in to view email] If you want to add your own question, just click on any 'reply to this message'
New drain bungs you should be able to get at your local dealers although they are now hanging in bags with Truma rather than Carver written on them which can be confusing!. Any problems and I have plenty ___________________ website: http://www.arcsystems.biz email: [Log in to view email] If you want to add your own question, just click on any 'reply to this message'
The more I use this (24 year old) caravan, the more impressed I am. The fridge is amazingly fast too - it's really cold in no time at all, with ice ready to add to my whisky almost as soon as I've had a couple of cups of coffee!
and I would suggest you have your coffee together with or...afterward!! ___________________ website: http://www.arcsystems.biz email: [Log in to view email] If you want to add your own question, just click on any 'reply to this message'
has any one else come across this ?
If only fused at 1amp positive in the module then a positive to earth fault elsewhere will be the problem or the earth track in the module will suffer if it goes to earth through there. It just may be the two wire to the old style Cascade control switch touching where they connect. It could be a similar problem on the other circuits or a good favourite is a trapped wire especially to the fridge. On a general note all these ignition circuits should draw less than 1amp What age is the van, which type control switch is it and what value the Auxiliary fuse?
