The previous posts are correct I think? there is one single AA battery in the unit marked in red? Or is the unit hard wired into the vehicle 12v system? Usually little shutter rolls back to insert battery.
Ok so I left the camper to a guy near castlebar.. he tried it with his igniter and it works.. hes also gonna service the fridge and do a habitation check..
I'm now worried about going away on these frosty nights using butane.. is it a big job to change to propane..

You just have to change the regulator, the guy in Castlebar can do it

We always used butane in the last van summer and winter and never had a problem. I didn’t know about propane until we bought the current van and our butane bottle wouldn’t connect to it.

Have to agree there, our first 2 vans were on Butane and we came close to a problem with cold only once when we had the consistant low temperature for weeks a few years ago

Its going to Europe in January. Starting in france then working it's way around europe through Netherlands Germany.. kind of clockwise. So it will get a lot of consistent cold..

Ah, it's probably best to change to propane alright
