I have an 80 vanagon ASI Riviera camper with the gas heater. It worked
according to the PO but was not working when I purchased the vehicle a
year and a half ago. I have been told that parts are almost impossible
to get. I would like to get it working. It seems like a chore to remove
the shroud from the bottom of the van and then try to assess the
problem. I am a do-it-yourselfer for the most part. Any
ideas/suggestions? I also have the built-in propane heater and cannot
get the pilot to stay lit. It worked great last winter but not this
year. Is it just a matter of replacing the copper wire that sits in the
pilot flame?
Thanks. --Bruce
