Hello Colin,

The Carver cascade 2 is no longer manufactured, so you would be hard pressed to find one that was guaranteed. There is a model called a Henry which is almost identical to the Cascade, but the majority of caravans are now fitted with the Truma boiler.

None of the models are a direct replacement for the Maxol, so some engineering will be needed to fit which ever morel you choose, but for your safety have all the work done by a competent gas fitter.

Not heard of a 'Maxamol' so will go with Johns thoughts and assume you mean a Maxol Malage?

If so then The Malaga is now made by Propexheatsource.co.uk

Identical so a new one will fit straight in, or spares are compatible and having recently fixed a leaking Malaga, I can say it's a very straight forward job.

thanks and sorry about the spelling before. i have desided to go with the new replacment from propex is the electric's and plugs the same. thanks again

No, the heater should be a direct replacement but there are various minor differences including wiring connections, also the control switch and it's loom, all problem arising though should be very easily overcome

Hi Colin,

Presumably you no longer need the Carver wiring diagram now.

 

[colin_374549986]

yes could still do with this thanks as a back up plan.
