Just a word of caution about using anything with a heating element through the inverter.I do use the remoska with an inverter but only when on the move when the engine alternator is charging the leisure batteries.
According to the BM1 battery monitor it draws approximately 45 A/H from the batteries and even with 2 x 125A/H elecsols that is a hefty current that would soon drain them.
Likewise an electric blanket,I don't know what current it takes but it would be prudent to check before using it.

Sounds like Christmas has come early for your 'van! Enjoy your weekend, but try not to break anything else . . .

I´m not really as paranoid as everyone thinks I am
well my mood has dropped a bit since the heating and hot water are still not working
They told me they'd tested them and they were working
Can anyone think of why?
It's a truma combi and I'm running it off gas
The gas is on - have checked by checking the hob works. The safety taps are open. I have turned the power source to gas, and I have turned on the heating but it doesn't work.
Any ideas?
But the red light comes up within seconds and the ignition doesn't even try. Same with hot water.
Any ideas? Given that it was doing this before I had it rrp
I'm sure you appreciate that the 1kW inverter will only supply 4A, not 13A.
Have you ever got your heating working? My van has a manifold, in a little cupboard between the fridge and the oven, and there are 4 taps on it. One (with a picture of a funny box and a chimney?) operates the heating supply. I used to switch the hob on and get it to light in order to be certain which way the taps have to point (I've now put a little label - open / closed). This also confirmed that gas got as far as the manifold, as the heater probably has a small jet for a pilot light until it gets going and opens up a bigger jet. So gas flow from the bottle can be slow. Obviously, the tap for the heater has to be on for it to work.
I haven't got my manual handy, but a red light may have a specific fault attached to it: I think if it flashes every second it represents a low battery but every 2 seconds represents something different (but my memory isn't what it used to be).
Good luck - Gordon.
PS was the "fixer" local? You could take it back and ask for a demo.

Is there an external flue on the side of the van and if so have you removed the clip-on cowl cover? Your symptoms sound exactly the same as what happens when I forget to remove ours . . .
