Has anyone replaced the fresh water tank filler hose?

Post by Wiredone2 »

Hello,

I have an Autosleeper Trident and the inch 1/4 flexi hose from the filler to the tank has become brittle and leaks. Has anyone replaced this? Do I need a special fresh water hose, have seen garden pond flexi hose that is the right size?

Many thanks

You'd want one specific for potable water, otherwise you end up with a plastic taste to the water. Places like CAK tanks and rainbow leisure sell the correct hose.

Ask for 1.1/4" clear braided PVC. Any hydraulic hose company should be able to get you some.

Rotec over Billacombe or Flexihose in Miller Court, or Pirtek at Valley Road.

I bough some from my local caravan store. Super cheap and cut to size.
