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.

it sounds like you are good with your hands me not so good thinking of going for the Truma a hose reducer package but thanks for this option

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.

Don't leave it attached when not with the van,This is a van with such a system and as the owners were away enjoying a day out a pipe let go inside and the system continually filled up the caravan until the neighbours noticed water pouring out of the van and disconnected the system. Lots of drying out required !
