So i guess the tank is sitting under the back seat, the pump should be sitting in the water tank, follow the water pipes and see what you find.

Yes it could be there. It is possible the pump is on the way to the tank, ie between the tap and the watertank, can you see anything in the cupboards?

Go do mummy things, the tap will still be there tomorrow. :wink:

cupboards have got baby wipes, calpol, baby nuerofen, crisps, tea and biscuits but no pump!!!

Think it could be either behind my fridge- which will not budge! or behind the back of the cupboard. :?

oh well another day of being a mummy enters into the Twighlight zone' wish me luck :roll:

This probably won't be much help but we dont use our tank or pump, all campsites have much better washing up facillities than the tiny little sink. We just use a builders bucket to put the pots and dishes in to carry them to the sinks, rinse and dry bucket to carry them back. If not on a campsite use same bucket to wash the dishes in. You can buy £1 5litre containers to store water or just buy bottled and reuse them, we dont even bother with that on a campsite, just fill the kettle from the tap. We only "rough camp" for weekends so its not neccessary to lug around a heavy tank full of water,90% of which we dont use. Not to sure of the hygene of something I can't see inside either.

Hi,
we don't really use it for anuthing much but is handy to have. We use the big water bottles from tesco for water etc I would like to think what might be growing in the tank or pipes!!
Only wanted to fix it because me and the camper might be parting company soon - if someone offers me loads of money!! And there was a full tank of water and it needed empting and I can not find the little tap on the outside anywhere- must get my eyes tested!!
