Hello getting excited about taking our folding camper out for the first time. It's a pennine pathfinder 2004 we bought it at the end of last season and this will be our first trip out, my worry is how to set up the water we have lot of paperwork but nothing tells us how to do this. Does anyone have an idiot proof set of instructions on how to do this? Many thanks Andy

Fill the water carrier.
The water inlet/12volt socket can be found on the camper side .
Attach the plug to 12volt socket outlet. Gently place the end with the pump attached into the water container.
At the side of the water heater under bench is a value-lever- make sure it is in the horizontal position. If upright the water will drain away.
Open hot tap in bathroom or kitchen.
switch power on for water pump - main switch or pump switch ( as long as electric is switched on will be fine!)
Leave the tap open to let air escape while the water heater is filling. The heater is filled when water flows out of taps.
At end of hol always drain water simply lift the valve lever into the upright position.
We can use ours on gas or electric and these are found on the front of the bench
Remember to remove the cowl on the outside of trailer before usuing the water heater, we usually do this at the same time as connecting the pump.
If when using gas you get a red light instead of green when you switch on wait 5 mins and try again.
Oh and dont forget to connect the grey waste water pipe too

Hope this helps

Thanks for that, I know it should be simple but having it put down in black and white will make it lot easier.

As an aside, a tad of advice. Before you drop the pump into the water carrier and before you plug the pump into the camper socket, just make sure that you have turned off all the taps inside first and that they are all facing into their respective sinks. Gets quite interesting otherwise. Don't ask me how I know.17
