<p>Amazingdave: </p> <hr /> <div>1. Little electric fan heaters are available for about £12 from places like argos. Ideal for winter camping with 240v hookup<br /> <br /> 2. Take plenty of bedding and jumpers. Make a brew for heat<br /> <br /> 3. Sometimes we take a candle, and if it gets really cold we light it.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> If you have Trumatic heating that doesn't work.....<br /> <br /> First check voltage at the control board should be 12 or more.<br /> <br /> Then check that the gas cylinder is not on its last legs, the heater will stop working before the cooker or fridge.<br /> <br /> If thats all good then check that you can hear the solenoid opening as the unit atempts to fire<br /> (should be a solid click noise) and that you can hear the spark noise (a rapid ticking noise).<br /> <br /> If the solenoid doesn't click, you'll have to get at the heater unit and open it up, I freed mine by removing the electric coils off the solenoid valve (brass thing at rear of unit with gas connected to it) and using a very strong magnet I got the shuttle inside moving. apparently a sharp tap can do the same job. <br /> <br /> Once Its freed up Turn on the heater at least once a fortnight to keep the solenoid free.<br /> <br /> Amazingdave</div>
