Hi All
New to the forum and new to caravanning (well I say new, only bought it today!).
I have a question, or more of a request truthbetold. Purchased a Swift Challenger SE 480 1996 as a ''do'er'upper''. General condition of the exterior is sound, frame, floor all good with some minor signs of 'DIY' from previous owners.
The purchase was from a buyer seller with little or no knowledge about the caravans themselves so my questioning was pointless, but given the price, I thought it was a bargain.
My questions.. The carver cascade 2 plus water heater that was in the van doesnt have any cold or hot pipes to it, looks like its actually been cut only a connection from the gas line.. is it worth me spending the time reconnecting all and trying it out, or do I bite the bullet and put a replacement system in?
Second question, where should I be looking for the blow air heating system.. it seems to be missing. It it likely to be behind the gas fire, as thats where vent tube seems to go (i did look in the cupboard next to it but there is nothing there and the tubs go up towards the roof in the cavity )
Thanks in advance.
