Hot water achieved! Everything water-wise seems to be working fine now. Thanks so much for all your help today. Looks like we should now be set to be able to get away by the weekend. Cheers!

Update, the drain plug and new filter have stopped the leaking and is now seemingly working, not sure how long I need to leave the boiler on to heat some water though? Does the pump store water in the system or just use whatever is needed whilst the taps are on? Bloke at the shop said to...

Sorry ignore that, I was thinking the caravan was pre 87! I've got the right one. Thanks again.

Thanks gents. Just bought a post 87 one an hour before seeing the last reply! Is it worth trying that one or will it not be suitable do you think?

Morning, Please see attached video. I've just tried to set up and work the whale watermaster pump with the Aquaroll and the pump activates but leaks out of the hole to the right of it. If poss please advise on what you think might be the issue/how to resolve. Many thanks. I'm aware the lid...

I appreciate that I may have given the impression that I'm trying to cut corners but I have also arranged for a caravan service engineer to inspect prior to attempting to take it anywhere. I unfortunately neither have the expertise or time to completely restore the van as I've seen done by...

They're apparently designed to be breathable and are of a 4-ply material...

Thanks again for the advice, I don't think I've got the knowhow to really attempt replacing the timbers so I'll have to do with the cuprinol/sikagard option... I am however buying a caravan cover which I'm hoping will prevent further damp and with god's grace we'll shortly have a heatwave that...

Apart from the bathroom ceiling around the hatch we discovered only a couple of small areas of damp. We took off the wall lining there and basically chipped out the damp bits and it's now drying out. I'm going to seal the van with sikaflex but wanted to know what if anything in particular would...

Understood. Thanks again.

Cheers, I've ordered one of the damp meters and the recommended manual. Also managed to get an Aquaroll, wastemaster and Y hose all for 25 quid which I'm quite chuffed about! Connected the gas canister and the oven, heater and fridge all work. Don't think I'm going to be able to sort the...

Does all waste water including kitchen sink and shower go into the toilet cassette? If not what happens to it?

I've got the cover for the heater. Was asking about tyres in a previous thread. Mine are 15 years old and even though they look in great condition I know they need changing. Electrics seem to be fine, will check the taps for wires... Thanks will check it out, sounds like it will be just what...

Thanks a lot for the help. There are some pumps that look like they match the housing for around 70 as you said but what do they connect to on the outside please? A hose or a water container or something like that?

Hi all, After the helpful advice received on my initial thread I'm hoping to glean some more wisdom if anyone can help. I bought a Craftsman Miracle 174/4 from 93/94 in reasonable condition and am on the spruce up. Having never had a caravan before there are some basic functions that I need...
