Hi. I've just bought a 1990 Bilbo conversion that had one of those fitted. Had to take it out though as it had rusted away to the point where gas was coming out of everywhere apart from the jets! It did come with an instruction leaflet though which I would happy to pass on to you. It has basic fitting and user instructions so it might be useful. I'm not sure if the company that manufacture them is still in business. The leaflet has a Dutch address and telephone number on it.
Hope this has been useful. Get in touch if you want the instruction leaflet.

I have one of these in my Reimo. It doesnt light but ther eis gas there. I bought another off ebay for a few quid so i could llook at it out of the van without leaving a hole in the floor. I have instructions too. Its pretty simple I think.

Box in floor, gas runs under van back to underneath rear seat. Control panel located on RHS of rear seat panel. Electronic ignition behind the panel is controlled by a small black box, this has a feed to the heater unit for spark I assume.

My electronic ign doesnt work (i assume) so I am unable to light mine. I dont tend oto use van for camping in winter (brrrr) evenings are too short! So I have not put lots of effort into fixing it.

let me know what you wanted to know about it.

Rgds
