RV FEATURE
SPLUTTERING TAP
If a tap starts to splutter when you turn on the water pump( and the tanks are deemed full), it might mean you have a kinked or partially blocked hose or a small leak, allowing air to enter the system between the tap and water pump, or between the water pump and water tanks.
If all of this is in order, check that your 12V pump is working correctly and that it is receiving enough power from the onboard battery.
If twin or triple water tanks are installed, remember to ensure your link taps are open to allow water to flow to the tank that is connected to your 12V water pump. Some systems have multiple pumps, while others might only have one connected to one water tank only.
If your RV has a hand or footoperated pump, it could be that the seals need replacing.
VANNING WITH DOGS
Have you considered your dog’ s hygiene while on the road, bedding and even identification? All dogs should be microchipped so that their owners can be identified if the dog is presented to a vet. In addition, have the dog’ s name and your contact information engraved on a collar.
Further, and this should go without saying, but you must have an appropriate lead for your dog; however, it is surprising how many dog owners feel they do not require one. Almost all van parks that accept dogs require that yours be kept on a lead at all times.
