Help with water tank

Post by tucker2024 »

Hi all I have had a camper for few years now but never got round to using the water or gas hob(lpg) does anyone have a guide on how to get these working or how to clean the tank out as I would imagine it has some stale water in it

Any help would be appreciated

Flush the tank a few times with hot water ( easy for me to say I have a Hotwater outside tap ) . then fill with Puriclean, then rinse again. Each time run it all through the tap to clean the lines. 

LPG, the hob should work no problem if the rubber lines are not perished.

Thank you luckily enough I also have an outside hot water tap to, I am away camping now and have put it on the hook up, however I tried turning tap on and pump didn’t make a sound, is there a relay or anything I need to check

It will depend on the build, each coachbuilder may have done it a different way. My autohomes has a switch to turn on power to the pump system but there are microswitches in the taps to actualy run the pump. 

The pump may be sized from no use though.
