Hi,

 

Does anybody own one of these?

 

Can I please get some help with water?

 

1. The External submersible water pump. This is temperamental - Can I please get a step by step guide on how to initiate the water system. I cannot find a switch to operate the pump - it just seems to work!

The only way I can get it to work is to hook up the van to electrics. then open the cold tap and then connect the external water supply - is this correct? If i put the hose on before I open the tap it doesnt seem to initiate the pump?

 

2. Water heater - How do I fill the tank? Cannot see a switch marked pump as others have said - The water is heating up so the tank must be filling  - Is it just a case of turning on the hot taps to run water through the system - does this then fill the
tank up? I gather the switch near the floor on the panle under the right bench seat it to electrically heat the water? Should I use gas or electric to heat the water? Also daft question - does the Gas Fire need to be on to heat the water? or is it independant??

 

3. One off the gas rings doesnt work as the know will not turn - can you replace the knob - is it difficult? 3 Rings is enough i guess if not.

 

Many thanks in advance.
