A couple of things have happened recently that I have either shared or commented on
Adding some specific detail now with another observation
we have an Alde Compact 3010
just before we went to France last month I noticed the reservoir level was only just above the minimum level although it had been running for a few days due to cold weather, so I topped it up to halfway between the two lines and observed during our trip it seemed to sit about there all trip
putting MH away today noticed level down again, and it had been running since we got back
my observation
did some investigation and wondered if the level changed if running on gas, it had been on electric only since return, so turned gas option on, left electric on and turned up thermostat
within 5 minutes the reservoir level was back close to mid level, so it would seem that on gas the reservoir level changes but not on electric?? seems odd
also confirmed that on ours at least, if gas and electric selected at same time, the gas definitely runs, confirmed by heat at vent outlet, I presume the electrics stayed on as well, I even increased the electrics from 2 to 3, which I think means 2Kw to 3Kw, the gas still ran
not sure how much this helps others, as the title says I am possibly more confused than have gained any clarity
