First trip out this year. Water heater lights, stays on for around five minutes then goes 'POP' and the little red gas indicator light comes on.
Turn off, wait a minute and turn back on, lights again straight away.

I have...
Swopped gas bottles and regulators.
Taken burner off and cleaned it although not dirty, it's only about three years old.
Taken out gas jet and cleaned it although it wasn't blocked.
Carefully reassembled everything and it's still doing it.
Fridge and hob work perfectly.
Any ideas?

Happened to us on propex malaga, similar to carver. Cross Wind on the flue was blowing the flame out. It will reignite stay on until next wind gust. Solution turn the van to opposite side of the wind.

Thanks, plenty of 12v. Not sure what the white vent is but I've given the whole thing a good clean.

It's been really calm the last couple of days. I've not had this before and had the van for several years. I suspect it's something to do with the flame sensor so I'll probably have to send it off to arc systems 🤷
