Thanks but an electric solution won't be available when off grid.

Problem solved. My pipe was 12.5mm and the new whale needs 12mm. Although it was snug with the jubilee clip, it probably was unnoticeably loose and caused all the chaos. Changing to 12mm pipe solved the issue. Thanks for the help!

The leak is definitely from the case but perhaps lack of tightness is causing some.water to go inside the casing and leak from the back. When running the pump without any pop connected it seems to work.

Could it be that my pipe is 12.5mm and not 12mm?

So, I went ahead and got the whale system to fit into the carver socket. The issue I now have is that there's a strong leak from the back of the whale blue back socket cover. I thought it was a faulty part so returned it.and.got a new one just to find that I have the same issue! This leads me...

Do you know if Truma offer a built-in pressure gauge to stop the pump working when taps are off? As mentioned, i can return the Whale and use another brand if it has the same features and especially if it fits.innthe existing socket...

Thank you both! Yes, started asking in the relevant forums, very helpful!

thank you very much for all your responses. Few more folloups: 1. How much is a gas heater or a "full" central heating system costs? just so I would have a clue 2. When you say portable 1.8kw electric heater - what exactly do you mean? Ideally, I would like to have a solution that would work...

Hi all, Glad to be here. We recently bought a 1978 compass citizen 400. As this is our first caravan, we have many(!) Questions but one thing at a time :) Nice to eMeet you all

Hi all, New here We recently bought a 1978 compass citizen 400. It has a (working) carver cascade 2 in it. As I'm.new to caravaning but quite handy I'm trying to figure out the heating options (air, not water). Is it possible to use that water heater as a heater to send water to some kind...
