I have a Truma gas heater which I am trying to get to work but the instructions diagrams don't match up with the actual dials. I'm assuming it's an S3002 but can't see a model number on the gas heater. I've attached 2 pics of the dials on the top - what do I press in what order to get it started etc.

I was going to say please hurry as it's cold but the sun has come out and is doing a good job of heating up the caravan for the moment!

Rossie. As I mentioned when you posted about the tight bend near your house and getting on the A24. I live fairly close and have been caravanning for many many years. If you would like me to pop round some time to run over any problems or concerns you have with your caravan I would be happy to do so. We will be in Findon Valley the afternoon of 19 Aug and could call in.

What a star you are! Thank you! As luck would have it I'll be at Charmill Cottage CL on Long Furlong then!

Brilliant! Will put kettle on!

I was on the verge of renaming the heater "Traumatic"

Rossie. Know the site but it is in the other club's list of CLs and I am not a member! You may have to warn the owner we will be visiting, car only, for an hour.

And don't forget to switch the fan on to feed the heat to the vents around the caravan. I found the manual setting on my old Coachman better to use than the auto.

I found that by the time the warm air had been under the caravan to get to the end bathroom it was cold by the time it got there. We never really had much luck using the fan on auto or otherwise on our previous caravan's blown air.
