Hi we are new to caravaning and have recently bought an 80's folding caravan, it's in fantastic condition the only thing we didn't know when we bought it is there is there is nothing for running water. All we have is a sink, tap and a clear pipe, there is no pump etc, what do we need to be able to get water from a tank?

We had a Conway a few years ago - There was a switch on the floor near the sink - you press it with your foot.

You need a barrel of water and the pump plugs into the side of the trailer.

I think this is a good question as i have the same issue. The only way of getting water into the sink is by pouring it from a container.

I have thought about fitting an electric pump and tap but don't know what is involved or needed.

Surley it must be possable!

Any help for at least two of us?

Hi melissa,
