Hi, New  to touring and was getting van ready for first trip at easter. Not done any before and on filling up water system had all water running through except for hot water. Pumps seem to be  working fine and when draining  down system at plug water was very hot. As new to this I have no idea so ANY help would be greatly appreciated . Oh ye the water heater is a Cascade 2 GE.

Thanks stevie

It could just be that you have an air lock. Try draining the water system and refilling. I always found that running the hot water on gas on refilling system seemed to help as well.

When filling the system up ghe hot side always longer to fill up. When filling make sure all taps are closed and start by opening the cold tap on the shower, when that is running freely turn that off and open the cold in the bathroom sink. After tgat do the same in the kitchen. When the cold is running freely repeat with the hot side. This should take a little longer as the tank has to fill up. After it is running freely the system is set up. I hope this helps. It shojld really only take a couple of minutes. By the way, it helps if you place the pump in the water bottle before connecting to the caravan. Then turn the pump on. Good luck.
