.................without the bleeing gas fridge playing up. We need it for 2 nights this weekend as doing a Hash even in a pub campsite minus EHU. Tried to fire it up today as a test, used both cylinders, one unused and the other about 3/4 full and not a single bloop of firing by sound or by vision through the daft little glass way down in the depths of the fridge.
As it is near the end of the season - for us at least, no idea yet of extending it and if we do it will be on EHO site, I intend to forget it unitl next year service. However it was looked at by AL early this year on request and they reported it OK.
AAAarrghhh!!!!
Think it's probably a case if you don't use it, it doesn't want to when needed, so there!

Not switched off under the sink?

Never switch off under there Nev and yes Randa, s*i* happens all the time and Carole will no doubt go out there and fire it up.

Madam has just tried and failed. where is Percy when you need him?

This happened to me this weekend. I was advised that it was probably a spider's web over the jet. Removed plastic grill and blew air at the jet. Hey presto! Been working fine since.

Yes we've had that too. Could be anything.
In whatever vehicle we have had the same problem has existed and it's certainly not new in this forum.
VW T2 campervan, VW T4 ditto, and in our Eriba.

It takes a seriously long time for the gas to fill the pipe work and reach the igniter.
The cardboard tube from kitchen roll or cling film over the site glass will increase your vision of the pilot light and spark.
Send her back out there Derek!

I always light a gas ring on the cooker first to make sure the gas is getting through.

Yes Nev done that. I tried again before tea time and got one flash but no whoomff of ignition.
Tony it's not as if we don't know, but it always wrankles thanks.Will both have another go tomorrow.

can you put an extending hose on the the hoover to suck out any dust in the igniter that may be the offender?

Sometimes its hard to tell if its on or not, a hand over the top grill on the outside of the van will let you know,if its warm to the touch its working

Going out there in a minutes to try again.

No spark, got one whoompf then nothing. Tried vacuum up the back, gas on for ages. Carole will try later. Got cold slabs in house freezer, but not too botherd as all food, beer and wine is provided. We will take our own though. Just odd stuff in the fridge, milk, snacks and something for grand-daughter and her pals and maybe a cake Carole will make later today before WI. About 50 due, mostly tenters.
