New to Caravanning - The basics

[Simon2710]

Hi I'm have just bought my first ever caravan, a Bailey Pageant Moselle 2001. I understand how to connect the gas bottle but could someone kindly explain how I connect up water and what basics I need to get started like what water containers I need to buy. Electric hook up is straightforward. The caravan hasn't come with any water connectors apart from some pipe but it looks like there is a container you can access outside which looks like the pump around where the toilet is. I believe it has Truma pump fitted as there are a few switches inside. Also if someone could kindly explain how the toilet waste works. I'm complete newbie to everything.
Many thanks

There is a lot to learn when starting out. There are a lot of good you tube videos that may be more helpful than long wordy explanations. Like this one

For water basics you need a fresh water container ( an aquaroll or similar) and a waste water container ( a wastemaster or similar).
You can get these second hand on eBay and the like.
You will need some waste pipe from the waste outlets to the wastemaster. I assume you have a submersible “pump” for the Aquaroll
Keep asking. We will try and help

Thank you I've had a good look around my caravan and now have a better understanding. Just another question if you don't mind, I'm looking for a suitable pump as the caravan only came with bare basis, so winder and a hook up lead. Can anybody advise what type of pump is best for me for this fitting? Whale seems to look like it will fit? Also the other flap I can put the toilet cleaner fluid in directly? Many thanks for all the help so far!
