Oh, and as for the pump problem you will be waiting a while as I'm not planning on having a look until the spring! However, I'm a lurker by nature, so this is only really the second forum I'm a member of, so I won't forget you guys and I'll keep my problem details updated, although I may well...

Yeah, there are a lot of similarities. I believe it was actually information on a cascade heater that you yourself had written that bought me here! Or possibly water pumps! I don't remember now! Basically, I have a caravan with a motor in it! :cheer: At no point did I feel like I was being...

Hi John, I expect I will join pratical motorhome, as quite frankly, the information given by you has been amazing - hopefully they have an equivalent to you there! Seriously, you've really been a star, patiently and clearly explaining everything and offering your suggestions and opinions, all...

One last question for you John and then I'll be out of your hair I promise! It is an unrelated question though, so if you think it's better in a new post, please let me know. I have a main switch in the van. In this picture all the switches are set to what I'd call the off position apart from...

Hi John, thanks for all your help to date. I will try and trace the power cable for the water heater and remove the fuse. As for the other issues, really don't concern yourself with them. I just wanted to make sure the heater won't kill itself now that I've removed the water from it! Ah yes...

Hi again John. As I'm sitting here I'm starting to doubt myself whether the cascade switch does do anything else like power the plugs. Perhaps I needed it to ignite the cascade 3000 gas heater and power the fans which circulate the hot air out from the heater, which admittedly makes sense now...

Oops. Please see the previous comment, I edited it there. Didn't realise I couldn't then delete this post!

They thanks for all the info guys! This is the main control panel. The green lights on the brown cascade box only go green while the cascade switch is on on the van's main control panel. I unplugged the DIN from the brown cascade box, and the green light stays on, but the red light doesn't...

and by the way, I really like how images are implemented in this forum! I'd have inserted all the pictures I linked to in the first post into the forum on my first post if I had imagined the forum would do such a nice job of formatting it!

Ok, I've had a bit more of a poke around! You are indeed correct, the front of that panel does indeed flip down! Note, I'm guessing the red light is on because I've completely drained the water heater of water. It comes on about 5 to 10 seconds after the green light, and didn't do it before I...

I'll have a look tomorrow at the pipe again. As for the green light, that's on the brown box that says cascade 2, not the actual heater unit itself, sorry, not sure if I was being clear. You can see it in one of the water tank pictures. There's no cover that flips it as far as I can see, but...

I'll be honest, some of what you wrote went a bit over my head! I'll try and address everything you mentioned to the best of my ability. Possibly the blue pipe could be to the other set of taps? There are 2 shower taps and 2 sink taps. It's night time right now, so it's a bit of a pain to...

Ok, so I've had a read of the manual and I removed the drain plug, it was simply on the outside of the van on the flue bit, and was entitled "Drain against frost". According to this diagram, item #5 is the drain plug and I opened that along with all the taps (pump off!), but then there is also...

Ah right! Lucky it survived the first winter then by the sounds of things! I will actually be taking it on the journey myself, so I'm guessing it's probably best to drain it before the journey as I believe where I'm headed is already snowing. I don't suppose you have any instructions for...

Hi there, I figured the best way round my inexperience with everything was just to be as detailed as possible, sorry for the essay! Thank you so much for your reply! Since posting this, I had done some more reading, and had also come to the conclusion that the hot water issue might be due to...
