Hi I'm hoping someone can help this first time caravanner.I took my Sterling Cruach Cuilin caravan out for the easter weekend and found that I had a problem getting water through to the taps in the kitchen. I was getting water through the bathroom taps, the only way I was getting water through the kitchen taps was, if I turned on the bathroom taps first then the water would run slowly from the kitchen sink.Could it be that there was an air blockage somewhere.I found that outside there was water leeking I tightened the screws up and it stopped slightly.Can anyone give me advice on refilling the system as I am hoping to take it out this weekend. 

Regards Helen

the tap in the kitchen has a faulty micro switch,the reason it works when the bathroom is used is because you start the pump with the bathroom tap.so you need a new switch fitted.

If it's a mixer then I would assume each tap has a microswitch. Switch is situated just above T-piece, unscrew the 3 screws

Hi Custer,

Thankyou for your reply.

Got new microswitch today, you say that I have to unscrew the 3 screws, will I find the switch inside.?

While i'm on has anyone ever bought a Sunncamp Platinum Ultimo 260Awning???

I am thinking of buying one but not sure of the size for caravan I have a Sterling Cruach Cullin 2003 model .I measured the sides at the shortest bit to be 6ft 1inch x6ft 5inch from centre point but I didn't measure to ground.Width from side window to back end is 11ft 10inch.I don't want to cover the side window.I've only measure to bottom of cvan.

Sorry I don't know metric size. The size of the awning fits cvan height 230-245cm.

Would this awning fit my cvan.???? Can anyone help?

Hi Helen, have a look at Insert An Avatar this is to replace the picture of the bear currently showing in the panel on the left next to your posts in your profile section.

If you want to put a picture in a post then have a look at Insert a picture!

If you want to add a picture to your signature or a message or both have a look at Insert Your Signature

And if you want to place a link in a post without using long urls then the Insert a Link will show you how.

Last but not least if you want to add or remove pictures in your profile see Your image gallery - how it works.

If you have any other PC type problems then feel free to ask on this thread or start a new topic about it, we are all here to help each other and as you have found out are a great anf very friedly bunch.
