Hi we are new "Vaners" having taken the plunge after several years of nearly but not quite buying one. We had our first adventure in "Betty" our 2011 Mondial EL at Coniston Park Coppice CMC site. What a gem, if other CMC sites are anything like this we are hooked.
Being our first time it was lots of remembering what the nice man at Todds said and reading the quick start guide by head torch, having worked out how to open the filler cap on the water tank we filled it until it poured out.
After hooking up and reading the guide a bit more, realised that we needed to purge the system and fill the boiler, which following a few rude noises, mostly from the taps it successfully started to run water out of the taps, shower and we even got hot water.
Then it went bang, or should I say Beep Beep Beep.......... a little red light appeared on the gauge and every time the pump was turned on Beep Beep Beep......Nothing in the book, nothing on the web, (internet on camp don't tell the kids).
I assume that the Beep Beep Beep....is a low water alarm, however having assumed we'd filled the tank to the brim I'm worried that it may be a dodgy sensor, but I'm not sure how much it takes to fill the system and boiler for the first time.
Does anyone have any advice for a Newby :-)
