Propex parts

[Jays2]

Just took our motorhome out for a test drive, mot next week, yes it’s insured.
Back home on a next sunny driveway, time to test all the systems, not been used for 14 months.
Problem with the propex Malaga 4 water heater.
On removal and taking out the burner, found I bit corroded .
Propex site says out of stock!
Cannot do anything untill Tuesday, any ideas?

Local light engineering firm or vent trunk, sheet metal bashers could manufacture at a cost but probably worth waiting until Tuesday to speak to the OE supplier.

Thank you for your suggestion.
Going to wait until Tuesday and see what’s happening with the part being out of stock.
Back up plan is a bucket and battery powered portable shower, water heated on the stove.
As we are basically all campers, adaption is the name of the game.
It’s not what happens, but how you deal with it.

I’ve had good results from a solar shower just for a rinse off. Black bag with small shower head left hanging in the sun all day.

Once use blue plastic bottles left on the dash to collect the Sunshine , did work.
Used it to wash the dishes.
Winter in Spain.

Looking at the pictures, I'd be worried about the whole heater, not just the bits you removed.

Don’t worry rest is cast aluminium/ I think.
This burner is mild steel, a replacement is £36 a new heater is £450 plus.
Will gamble on the part.
