recently purchased an old conway cardinal, but it does not seem to have any water hoses for fresh or waste, where do i purchase them from and how are they fitted
These hoses are normally pretty standard, you should find they will be 8mm inside diameter.
Normally push on and secure with a hose clip. I don't know if anything special about Conway but others will be along later I guess. Just remember that if you're going to drink the water you must use use a hose which is designed to run water for human consumption.
The Cardinal Clubman had a 12V powered water pump. I believe you should have an external Whale socket to plug an external submersible pump into, rather than just a standard water pipe.
