I thought I'd give some feedback/info as I've tried out my new Vango Airbeam Tempest Pump this morning on my Dometic awning and it works perfectly. It's a bit more expensive than the Dometic Gale pump but that's because it's wireless and rechargeable via a C type USB. It's easy to use, quick and...

A big thanks for all the replies and info so far. After watching a couple of vids on YouTube and doing some research it sounds like the Vango pump is compatible with the majority of makes of awnings so I've ordered one. If it works then great, if not I'll get the Dometic one.

Hello I'm looking at getting an electric pump for our Dometic Rally Pro Air Awning. I know Dometic do a pump but I'd prefer a cordless one if possible. I'm just wondering if anyone has one of these - a Vango Airbeam Tempest - Electric Tent & Awning Pump & USB Power Bank and whether it's any...

I was think more along the lines of a low kw electric water heater, preferably tankless and similar to the type you can have in kitchens in offices etc. I have come across a 1.5kw 10ltr tank type.

Hello I'm looking into the possibility of installing a tankless water heater for the shower cubicle in our caravan so that we're not solely reliant on having enough hot water available in our Ultrastore Storge Heater. Can anyone recommend a reliable brand of this type of water heater ? Thanks...

Luckily we're only staying overnight tomorrow at the Holme Valley site just outside Holmfirth so I think we should be ok. Thanks to all for the info 👍

Hello I'm looking for a bit of advice and guidance regarding the icey weather conditions at the moment and whether it's considered safe to be taking a caravan on a trip. Meant be going to Holmfirth for the weekend tomorrow. The roads all seem ok when I'm driving around in my work van so I'm...

Thanks for that. I'll have a look at those 👍

Which Halfords one have you got ?

Hello I'm looking at getting a 12v/240v refrigerated cool box for when we go on our travels with the caravan. There's plenty on the market but I don't want to end up buying rubbish. Can anyone recommend one that does what it says on the tin and doesn't cost the earth? Thanks Col

If this video is anything to go by, then it's possible that there's a design flaw in these particular pumps. Mine is the EP1622 which fits the Truma Crystal system so has a different plug. The first one I ordered from Amazon leaked so I contacted Whale. They asked me to return it for inspection...

I had my caravan in for servicing last week and asked them if they could check the pump and water system. Turns out the reason the pump wouldn't turn off was operator error on my part. I'd inadvertently put the wires back on the pressure switch the wrong way around when I'd been checking it...

Hello I recently replaced the Whale Submersible Pump for my 2003 Coachman Amara because the old one died. On the next trip out I connected up the new pump as usual but it wouldn't shut off after closing a tap. I tried adjusting the inline pressure switch as per a video on YouTube. The Pump Run...

It's looking likely that the new Whale submersible pump I recently bought could be the culprit then. I'll have to take it up with them I guess.

Just an update on a my Whale water system. I followed the instructions for the new In-Line Pressure Switch to the letter. I can get the Pump Run light to come on by adjusting, but the pump carries on running after the taps are closed. I noticed that some water trickles from the housing where...
