I disagree. I would just empty the filter and screw it back in to cause a seal. A filter is more bother than they are worth.While you're sourcing the covers also buy a couple of water filters. They aren't used on newer caravans as they can end up holding bacteria, when you screw the new one in, don't over-tighten it as it's easy to split the plastic housing (been there, done that......).
Agreed, that's even better. When we had a caravan with filters I used to change it four times a year and it never looked particularly appealing when removed.I disagree. I would just empty the filter and screw it back in to cause a seal. A filter is more bother than they are worth.

Unfortunately the OP has a Mk1 Carver Crystal water inlet and filter system, The TrumaCrystal Mk2 lid won't fit the Mk1.I think this is the water inlet flap cover

I sterilised the whole system thoroughly when we bought the van, thought it best as we didn’t know how long it had been lying due to the owner becoming ill and no longer using the van.Always took the OEM in line filter out. Never certain of its effectiveness. Tended to rely on sterilisation twice a year and before any prolonged lay up. Can’t recall any of us ever having gippy tummy.
ThanksI think this is the water inlet flap cover
