Water Hook Up

[Steveg]

Hi, I'm new to caravanning. Does anyone know if the Whale Truma Ultraflow Mains Water Hook Up Adaptor Connector is compatible with my Lunar Frystar 615 2006 caravan I have a mains water connection on the pitch

I have a 2013 Lunar Clubman - as standard, it came with the Truma Waterline mains water connection - I've tried it but the pressure limiter reduces the pressure significantly below that of the conventional submersible pump - so now I stick with the barrel and submersible pump and just use the waterline hose to top the barrel up each morning - that way I get full pressure in the caravan and don't have to carry any water.

Just a point ,Whale and Truma inlets are different to each other , the kit you have shown has the whale fitting and an adapter to fit a Truma inlet, if you have the truma inlet ( pistol type fitting) then you could by the truma only version a lot cheaper than the one you have shown.
I have never used on , preferring the internal float ball valve in the aquaroll. Whichever one you opt for remember to disconnect it when away from the van , I had a customer who didn't and a fitting inside the van let go and the van was flooded to a depth of 25-50mm, fortunately nearby caravanners spotted the water pouring out of the drop holes/door and turned off the supply

Thanks I will have a look at the trauma version

Thanks for the reply but my van is 2006 and I don't think it has truma waterline mains water connection only truma connection and water barrel and pump

I was suggesting you don't need it! Just retain the barrel / pump and use a hose from the pitch water point to top the barrel up each morning - cheaper and retains the full pump pressure.

Further to Rogers reply above, by using a float valve in water barrel also prevents the risk of an internal flood should the waterlines internal pressure reducer fail and send excess pressure into the caravans pipe work which could very easily cause a lot of damage. Its an insurance to remove a risk.

I have a generic hose and float valve to fit between the supply and the aquaroll then using the standard pump between this and caravan. Then the supply tap can be left turned on to refill the barrel as water is used in the van. As I remember cost under 30.00.
