water heater cowl

We recently bought a Bailey Pageant and are unsure as to whether the outside cover on the water heater should be left on or taken off when the electric water heater is used. Please help.
 
hi andrew i have a bailey pageant also , the cowl should only need removing if you need to use the heater on gas say if u where on a cl or somewhere with no hook up.
 
Andrew, as has been said, the cowl can stay on when using electric for the heating power.

If you try and use gas, the boiler will go into failure mode if the cowl is still in place, this is quite normal and is an inbuilt safety device.
 
Just so there's no confusion, it's the solid 'winter' cover over the cowl of a Truma Ultrastor water heater that is being discussed, and yes it fine to leave this on while using electric heating.

While on gas it will need removing as it effective starves the gas of oxygen so it won't light, not sure you could call this an 'in built safety device' though!
