Carver Cascade Caravan Water Heater

The Mk 2 Cascade caravan water heater was fitted to most British touring caravans from the mid 1980s until 2001 when the Carver were taken over by Truma UK.

Spares for these caravan water heaters are now scarce and the only items available as new are the drain screw, parts 119473 or 148272 for the older models (pre 1988), the hot water outlet 119476, the cold water inlet 128606, the safety valve 119477 and the wall switch for the Rapide model, 119478.

For the water heater with the electric heating element then only the thermostat 127311 and the over temperature sensor 127312 are available.

If a Cascade caravan water heater has suffered frost damage then it is normally not possible to repair and a replacement heater will need to be fitted. The Henry caravan water heater is a direct replacement, our part 124411 and this item is now made in China. Other replacements requiring slightly more space i.e are slightly wider than the Cascade, are the Truma Ultrasore part 141641 or the Propex Malaga caravan water heater part 147927 both of which have proved very satisfactory in operation.
