FULLY SERVICE WATER CONNECTION, NEW IDEA.

[ALANSHARKY]

Hi all. I had an idea and thought i would share with you all. I did not like my flat hose connection from the tap to my van so i did this. I bought a Ultraflow pistol assy, 46340-51, £16, i then bought a Truma ultraflow Reducer, part 1045874 £37. I cut off the hose from the Pistol assy leaving about six inches of hose, connected the reducer then connected the other end to my flat hose. Now i plug a proper pistol gun into my van and go straight to the tap. I know Truma do a hose and reducer package (pic1) at £80+ but my idea was cheaper and i can still use my easy store flat hose. i have attached pictures of 1 Truma assy £80+, 2. the Truma Reducer £37 and 3 the pistol assy £16 which I cut back. Hope this helps anyone who wants to keep their hose and use a proper connection to their van.

I have the Truma Waterline, provided as standard on Lunar Clubman at the time, with 15m of hose - it is quite cumbersome so the use of flat hose would reduce the stored volume considerably, and save weight too.

I like your idea, but I am always wary of a direct hose,even with a reducer in the line.
I had a internal pipe, " break away" from a coupling and flood the caravan, using an Aqua roll, supply, So on FSP I turn off the pump.
I know we can turn off the supply tap when using your kit, when going out, but I would forget.
Thanks for. The info though.
