    I agree with you there Rick, you think there would be a reduced charge for a lack of facilities. Hopefully the water issue will be a quick fix.

    You should get a bigger watering can. I have a 10 litre one that's hardly any bigger than yours and fits under one of the seats nicely.

    Love your videos! Our Elddis Accordo 120 has the same pump problem. It randomly purges the water underneath, especially if the water level gets too low? Flicking the yellow switch next to the pump several times on and off fixes it temporarily. We need to get the problem sorted too.

    • @RickandHeather

      @@RickandHeather Bless you for your reply..We bought our van in September 2019, and due to the pandemic we have hardly used it. We took it back to the dealers initially and they "sorted" it? However on our several trips away the purging continues randomly again. I'm going to visit our dealer again this weekend, we can't keep switching the pump on and off when we need to use it. PS can we hire you out for mods in our van? 😄😄😄

    Looks a lovely site. How easy is it to get to Cambridge? Any buses by the site? It is annoying when things go wrong in vans but there is that much fitted to them it is something that could happen. When you walked to get some water, at speed, you almost looked like you were hovering (Fran thought you looked like Charlie Chaplin) 😊 If I buy you a lime green watering can with daisies on the side I hope to see you in matching footwear 👍

    Rick when the boiler is swicted on and heating up the water pressure builds up in the system and it vents itself overboard. Dont think you have a fault. !!

    Hi Guys as you mentioned a few weeks ago with regards the water pump pulsing and overflow underneath the van? I have taken the water filter and washed it out as there was a little bit of muck in the mesh bit? I have located the NRV but would have to remove the panel to get proper access to replace it? As your van is nearly new and my Auto Trail T-669 is almost identical but a bit older it seems a common fault? Only thing with turning the pump off at night is having to put it back on when you need the loo!

    • @RickandHeather
      @RickandHeather  3 роки тому

      Yes we’re hoping to do the same, haven’t had chance yet! It is a pain at night but we’re happy to be using the van so we’re managing! Hopefully you have solved the problem and if we don’t then the dealer will.... cheers Rick and Heather.

    You have every right to windge, Caravan and Motorhome club are the same, charging full price when yo can't use the facilities. Getting charged for EHU whether you use it or not, is another gripe. Which is why more and more going for CLs or off- grid.
