right gas, they run on butane and propane ie blue or red bottles, well mine did.
Sounds like the gas module is not opening the gas valve so it just clicks. Unfortunately its a 'Gas Safe' job yes that's right in leisure craft too.
Approach a 'Gas safe' Engineer who can work on LPG systems have it all checked and he/she will find the fault and may do it cheaper than call out for the carver unit only. You also get a gas safe certificate.
Always check their credibility ask for registration number, if in UK of course ( World forum.)
some more found in my file.
To operate the gas there is a wall switch ( some were on the front of the bench seats front where my old Ambassador one was) with three lights, green amber and red. When switched on the green lights, (water tank must be full, i.e. water coming from hot taps), if it stays on after about 8 seconds then the gas has lit and all is well. If the green and red arelit then you may have a problem, but if the gas bottle has just been changed then air in the pipes will have to be bled through by repeating the above 2 or 3 times. Once lit, and it should light without any pops and bangs, (this would indicate it needs a service), the heater looks after itself and gives constant hot water, any problems will cause it to shut down safely and show the red light, indicating a fault. Forget the amber light, it?s to show low voltage and won?t light unless the voltage is so low the heater and everything else packed up long since, though you may notice it ?flash? as the switch is turned on or off.
