Bit of a funny one this. As you will be aware, most caravans have a water inlet on the side of the van so you can just plug the pump in and the aquaroll sits to the side of the caravan. With our 1993 Sprite Finesse this is not the case. The pipe is loose under the front seat and there is a hole under the seat through the bulkhead that leads into the front box. There is then another hole in the bottom of the box. To set up I have to put the electrical/inlet end of the pump in the front box and through the hole in the bulkhead then connect the main water pipe to this from inside the van under the front seat. Then the other end of the pump, I.E the end with the actual pump and water filter thing on, has to go down through the hole in the front box and into the aquaroll.
The problem I'm having is that because the aquaroll needs to sit under the front box to meet up with the hole in the bottom of the front box, sometimes I can't get the aquaroll under the caravan if we are not on an upward slope. If this is the case then I have to lift a full and very heavy aquaroll into the fron box for the pump pipe to reach into the aquaroll.
I did think about fitting a proper inlet point to the van but this would mean cutting a whole into the van wall and I don't realy want to go there so I suppose my question would be, can you buy a water pump with an extra long pipe so I can have my aquaroll to the side of the caravan and the pipe would be long enough to reach from the bulkhead, through the hole in the bottom of the box, out to the side of the caravan and into the bottom of the aquaroll.
I hope I've explaned this in an understandable mannor and I'm sorry for the long post.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
