Can anyone tell me if it is "normal" to lose power to items running on electric if the battery has lost it's charge? We are on a seasonal pitch, and are connected to a 16 amp hook up, the last couple of times we've been the lights run by the battery have been a little dimmer, but also the...

No wi fi yesterday! Water problem solved now. It was the actual on board pump. A big thank you to our lovely caravan neighbour Mally. He checked everything out for us, tried the pump in his van, it didn't work in there either. He then stripped it down, cleaned it all up, put it back - voila -...

WE HAVE GOT AN ONBOARD TANK, AND NO THE WATER WASN'T GOING INTO THAT EITHER, WE TRIED THAT. WE'VE SCOURED THE MANUAL, BUT NO CLUES IN THERE.

LOOKS LIKE A WHALE SMARTFLO WITH A WHALE SURGE DAMPER BY IT'S SIDE - UNDER THE SEAT IN THE CARAVAN, THE BIT THAT GOES INTO THE AQUAROLL IS ALSO WHALE .

We've tried 2 pumps in the aquaroll from neighbouring caravans (which are working) and still no water getting into the van. We also put a new filter on our pump. So we don't think it's the "outside" pump that is faulty. No frosts by the way!

Thanks for your interest. We're using the electric hook up, (always do it's in with the price!) the battery is fully charged, don't know the voltage. Battery is fairly new.

Thanks for your reply. There's nothing dripping or running under the van. All drain taps checked! The pump which goes into the aquaroll is (I presume) submersible?? Not up on anything technical. Then there is the pump in the caravan,which is the one we can hear working but it isn't doing...

When we left our van, (compass rallye 650) which is on a seasonal pitch, last week everything was working perfectly. Today the pump isn't drawing water into the van. We've tried 2 other caravanners pumps but still nothing. Also when we decided to start from the beginning to see if that worked...

Thanks for replies. Last night when it was a bit cooler I checked the contents and they seemed a bit more solid. We've got a little air conditioning/fan unit at home so I'll bring that back next time we go home and set it going in the awning in the region of the vents and see if that makes a...

The fridge and freezer on our Compass Rallye 650 does not seem to be getting cold enough - is it just the exceptionally hot weather we're having? The fridge seems cool, but the stuff in the freezer is not quite solid, the ice cube tray has some cubes frozen solid other cubes semi solid!! Luckily...

Engineer has just been, at the time he said he'd be here as well. Anyway he checked everything and it was the non return valve where watercomes ino the van which had gone. So water was running back into the aqua roll, and the pump thought it needed topping up so it kept running. Problem solved -...

We've had every seat off and searched the whole water works area but there is nothing that looks like the wheel on the picture or anything else that would adjust in any shape or form!! There is only a tap on the copper pipe from the water heater with a picture of a little tap with steam coming...

Thanks gagakev. We'll have a go at the pressure in the morning. Never touched it before!! Neither of us are technically minded - more chance of the dogs sorting problems than us!

We have a problem with the whale pump in our Compass Rallye 650. We are currently on a seasonal pitch and the aquaroll is filled via a ball **** type system (don't know the correct title) After we turn the taps/shower off the pump keeps running for a couple of seconds (normal) but then turns...

Ours (cross collie and cross lab) sleep in the front lounge area during cold weather on dog beds, and in the awning during warmer weather also on the same dog beds. I wouldn't leave them in the car during the night or day. Also wouldn't leave them in the awning during the day as it can get very...
