Just returned from our first trip in our new (to us) Avantgarde 140 - a couple of nights in Keswick.
We had a couple of problems I'm hoping someone can help with....
The water pump suddenly kicked into action just as we were preparing to turn in last night, and had to be turned off - the 'van was really warm at the time so not a case of dropping temperature, and in any case it ran for far longer than it would have needed to to restore pressure. No signs of a leak anywhere, so I'm assuming the pressure/flow switch (not sure which it is) is maybe faulty. Chatting with one of the site staff this morning he told me he thought that there may be an adjustment on the switch - but so far I've been unable to find it, either to check for adjustment or to replace. This morning when we turned it back on to use water for washing, at first it malfunctioned as before and had to be turned off, but after a couple of cycles returned to normal operation. Anyone had this problem, or can offer advice?
secondly, the blade on the bench type Thetford cassette seems to have come to bits - it looks as though there is a disc which presumably clips to the underlying arm, and it's come unclipped. The disc is there, but I can't persuade it back over the top of the arm to attempt to refasten it. Again, anyone had this problem?
Everything else went well, you'll be glad to hear, except that there doesn't seem to be any way to control the 'fridge temperature on 240v operation, and it froze the milk!
