Chausson Flash 6
We have a Chausson Flash 6 2010, we believe that when we have the heating on Electric it uses some Gas as well are we right ? the manual is confusing so if anyone on here has a Chausson flash 6 or had one i would like your input please thanks

We had the same model and year and from what I remember it ran either on Gas or Electric but not both....the dial on ours was near the floor at the end of the bed so wasn't the ideal place to see what you were doing. I can ask hubby as he had the better eyesight to get down there to set what we wanted if you needed more clarification, I think one dial set source and the other dial was the temperature.

Just checked and you can also use both if you are not plugged into electric the gas is for heating and the electric for the controls .....he searched the internet for the best user friendly manual it was better than the user manual we had.

As BB says you can use electric, gas or both, we have a combi 6 (whatever letter) and it was the most confusing part of reading the manual and learning how to use it. It has two dials. What is confusing it has a 'lightning' staggered line for electric and a flame symbol on the control dial. However the flame symbol on the second dial does not indicate gas as you might think but space heating (on electric or gas). One dial sets the energy source electric, gas or both, the other sets the temparture or the water and/or space heating. Newer vans have a digital display
btw the way, maybe in caravans with their better insulation than MH (?) we have found that 900W is good for keeping a nice warm caravan even in winter. You may need 1800W at first but then the 900W does the job.

so first dial selected at upper is electric 1800W, second top is 900W electric, then gas, then gas + electric 900W, then gas + electric 1800W.
Second dial, top is water heating only at 60C, then 40C, off, space heating and water (water not regulated and is heated as a 'by product' of space heating), then space heating and water at 60C.
the space heating temperature is regulated thermostatically by the inner dial.

You'll notice I put a question mark after it. Well I assumed that you were posting from a motor home viewpoint that you have personally found that 900W wasn't enough to keep warm in winter in your MH, quote:
if running on a low power electric site, 900w on its own wont give much heat (especially in winter)
nothing about heating up times there,only running on low power and not much heat
I acknowledge you have now amended that omission to make things clearer
While I (we in my post) found that 900W was more than enough to have kept us toasty warm. I thought your remark (not knowing you meant after heating up of course) might be due to the lower insulation in MH. I remember, but I can't remember if it was you or some other motor homer, who said that they had to put those thermal silver shields on their windscreens to keep the heat in otherwise they lose a lot of heat, ie lower insulation
