Hello everyone.  I'm new here on the forum but I've been a member for 11 years.  I've come across this tucked away behind the cassette toilet cupboard in our Autosleeper Topaz campervan.  Can anyone tell me what it is and how to use it.  I'm assuming it's something to do with filling the water tank. Thank you for any help.

    Simple - it's a ball valve that screws into the side cap of your Aquaroll.  Connect your (blue-food grade) hose to it and the other end to a tap when on a serviced pitch.  Leave the tap open and as you draw water off via the aquaroll pump - the aquaroll will fill up again.  Ball valve automatically cuts water flow off when the desired level in the aquaroll is reached.  I am assuming that you don't have an inboard tank in your camper and rely on an aquaroll for your water supply?

    If you don’t get any joy here, there’s sure to be someone on the AutoSleepers forum who will know as they seem to know the ins and outs of every AS model made.

    Ah, I see you’re already there, AV, and have been given the same answer as R&R above. Job done 👍🏻

    It's a "ball cock" and works just like the one in your loo
