Hi Mr Motorhome man, Great video, very helpful. My problem is the water pumps out very well ( Hot and cold ) to the kitchen and bathroom shower , toilet etc. But for some reason the bathroom basin is very very slow, takes an age to fill basin. Ive tried all sorts of ways to blow the air through. Ive checked there are no bent pipes , but still comes out at a dribble. Any ideas would be highly appreciated. All the best. Duncan. Van is a 2014 Elddis Autoquest.

We've just got an Avantgarde 400 (2003) and I have been checking through the water system. There are 3 pipes on the tank, one for the drain, one which I presume is for water to the boiler and a third. Is this an overflow if the tank is overfilled? I filled the tank today and had water coming out of the bottom of the van, would this have come from the overflow?

@TheMotorhomeMan 8 ай бұрын

If you filled up and had water coming straight out the bottom of the van that's a good sign that you have done the right thing and left the drain open! Just check which this was from e.g. the boiler and then check you have done the same for the waste and fresh water drain off's. also leaving all your taps open inside the van inc shower. Also we recommend laying the shower head in shower tray if possible as good ld gravity will help the water come out. The Boiler is always the main concern in terms of draining as its the most common costly fix we see following a frost. Hope this helps and you can enjoy many amazing holidays in your compass motorhome!

Very useful video. The tap on my waste water pipe had seized so I've cut it off and clipped the pipe back underneath. Does it need a tap on the end? I also find I can't empty waste water easily until I'm over a drain as there's not much height between the bottom of the tank and the road. One last question - I fill the water tank with a hose through the window as the inlet leaks like hell. I've seen lots of people with aquarolls etc but can't work out why they are a good idea as I can't think how I would get water out of the aquaroll and into the tank. Advice please!

Hi, we are new to motorhoming and struggle to know how to empty fresh water, some tell us just unplug as you drive away as it’s fresh. Feel uncomfortable with that but as the exit is under the van we can’t add the collapz to direct or to a drain and never yet found a site where we can position over a drain. Any advice? Thanks.

Tried filling our fresh water tank but realised that the water was just pouring out of the underneath. The water gauge was constantly showing 50%. There is an external plastic tap presumably to empty the fresh water tank which is showing closed. There's also a yellow valve near the boiler also showing closed. There's wet all around the pump. The cold and hot water will not prime. Have we got a problem? The vehicle has just had a service. What's gone wrong?

They've got a 100 mile journey, didn't see them put any trade plates on, hope they get back ok. Thanks for the reply.
