Hi guys I'm looking for a little help and advice regarding the heating system ( even though it's summer ) on my 2013 Swift Sprite Major 6 .

We recently visited a local site which doesn't have electric hook up , we have an 11 week old baby boy and use a grow egg ( temperature device) in order to get the room / caravan to an appropriate temperature .

Over the weekend just before his bedtime the caravan was a little on the cool side so I thought I'd give it a quick blast of heat using the blown air heating system .

Bare with me on this - i turned the heating system to the 'run on gas' icon (flame) and the the other dial to the ' only heating ' icon (flame) and not the heating and water icon but nothing happened .

When I put the leisure battery on the heating system came on and began to blow hot air as requested but when I turned the battery off the heating went off .

Now am I being a tad dull here ? In my eyes if I've selected the heating system to run off the gas then surely I shouldn't need the leisure battery on ?

Can anyone shed some light on this for me ?

Any help or advice will be much appreciated .

Regards

SJ
