12v Pump.
I have just found out that I need a 12v water pump to enable me to use water in the caravan.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You need a submersible pump. What year is the van, most come with it, mines a very early 90's ABI and it has electric water pump, earlier vans just had a footpump. Have a look in ebay in caravan spares/parts or most caravan dealers and camping shops sell them, Towsure, Caravanstuff4u,Edwards tent hire in Walsall or try Gosford Caravan, near to you on the 449 I think. Have fun and welcome to the joys of caravanning Hope this helps, Martyn Don't think I'll be able to get to the Nano next weekend to give any other advice |

take a look at the side of the caravan, front offside. there may be 2 flaps there, unlikely 3 but possible, one is water heater flue, the other may be for the water pump to connect too. post some pictures and we may be able to help some more.

Good luck Mike, PM me if you think I might be able to give any more help, I'm no expert but like caravanning. Regards, Martyn By the way the vent is most likely the water heater vent. |

can I claim any credit?
The vent to the right is the flue to the water heater. bottom left corner of the flue I think is the drain plug for the water heater, need a 2p to remove it, don't loose the O ring. I would give the blue hose on the water pump a clean. I think that type of pump works with micro switches in the taps so make sure all your taps are turned off when the pump is powered and out of water. when it is not powered and your storing the caravan do open the taps so water can drain out . the flap over the water pump once lifted to 90 degrees will I think slide back into the caravan. just below the blue hose fitting is a carver water filter, remove this when storing caravan and just loosely screw the clear plastic head back, throw the rest. you may need pliers to undo as they can be very hard to undo, when putting a new one in only do it hand tight and only enough so it does not leek. it is recommended that you put a bit of vegetable oil I think on the O ring of the clear plastic bit when putting a new filter in macafee2 |
