Hi again,

Well we've been here a day and really struggling with water system.

With a bit of luck we managed to fill the onboard tank from the aquaroll, and managed to have water all day. But now the tank is empty which I've refilled but the water is not coming thru.

We have,

An on board tank

Aquaroll

Switch panel above door with electrics and battery/water level gauge. Tank or aquaroll switch. 

And a switch labelled " Tank Fill"

Valve under the seat to tank

And a yellow valve switch which I'm guessing is the hot water tank drain.

Can someone please tell me how this all works!!

The guy did explain when we collected van but there was that much to take in its been forgot

Cheers

Dave

GC,  if  you  have  tried  all  the  suggestions  given  there  is  not  a  lot  more  I  can  suggest  apart  from :--

1)  turn  the  switches,  controls  etcetera  to  where  you  think  they  were  when  it  was  working.

2)  open  a  cold  water  tap

3)  Brace  yourself,  take  a  deep  breath  &  suck  hard  &  long  on  the tap  !!

If  you  do  have  an  air-lock,  it  is  possible  to  shift  it  by  this  method,  but  don't  blame  me  if  you  get  a  mouthful  of  stale  water  !

 

good  luck

Lol ok thanks. . . . . 

Now then people I have an announcment!!. . . 

I've just sat down with the manual.

And I've just seen the picture of the pump selector switch Embarassed 

Guess what???

Yup, I got them backwards Embarassed

Switch has got a tap and a tank on

Well its not the tank its the aquaroll!

Oh my gawd.

All insults and sarcastic remarks will be accepted and humble pie will be served in large portions.

My thanks to everyone

Oh dear!!   It does pay to study the handbook then!

You need to sort your valve on the pipework positions too.

If it is any consolation, I would say that the little symbols are a bit misleading.  Why could they not just have used "internal" and "external"  Undecided

Ah! RTFM then Cool 

It takes a brave man to anounce on a forum that he read the instructions! Happy Glad you've sorted it. Wink

Steady  on  G . C .  Surprised  It's  not  wise  to  admit  that  you  are  a  C. C.  Member  and  Fallible  Too  !!

That  could  cause  great  embarrassment  amongst  all those  perfectionists  &  idealists  round  'ere !!
