WE TEND TO take the caravan cold water system for granted. It is simple and straightforward, and in theory, never goes wrong. Or perhaps it does?
This year, our van had its third annual service early in the year, but because of the lockdown, was not watered ready for use until this week, in preparation for some late-season trips (to make up for lost time!).
We fitted the new immersible pump and switched on, to find the flow at the cold tap was very slow. When the tap was turned off, there was also insufficient pressure to turn off the pump, which continued to run.
