Hi I have. 2001 coachman Amara the water pressure in the shower is a dribble and very poor at the bathroom sink.

It good at the kitchen. I have played around with the pressure switch and have it as good as I can get it.

The pump is a 14 litre per minute would replacing it with a higher related flow pump improve the flow.

I am not bothered about the shower as we never use and prefer on site amenities as there is more room.

Would just like a better flow of water at the bathroom sink.

Cheers

Whoops - I, inadvertently, seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest - for which I apologise.  I think I was getting mixed up and I think DD is correct - what he says, certainly seems logical.  Descaling the water system / boiler requires just vinegar - no bicarb - so a mild acidic solution.  I think I used 5 litres in our Truma Combi 6 system - but the quantities are in the Truma instruction booklet.

Where the bicarb comes in - is using the mixture as a cleaning agent for other things and I recently used it for cleaning our Thetford toilet cassette. There is a video on You Tube giving the quantities to use and procedure to follow.  It certainly does work and it's the fizzing effect which seems to do the trick.

 Apologies againembarassed  Should have waited until I was properly awake!!

If you waited that long, R&R,  the Hornets might have vacated their nest !!

But never mind, just look at the fun some scribes have had  laughing

Update on water pressure after looking for kinks, leaks, filters I decided to swap over the wires on the pistol grip connections 

Low and behold water pressure now thundering through the taps. The pump was running the opposite way and just delivering enough pressure.

I now have enough pressure to run the shower. Pump wires were back to front.
