Hi we are new to caravanning & have just bought an Abi Dalesman 380/2 with no manuals but we have ordered them. I was just wondering if someone can tell me where the on board water tank is?
thanks
Dawn

I have a bailey senator and mine is under the floor. Big black box between the axles under the caravan, cant miss it lol

If you can't find one then you may have to use a 'aquaroll' (or similar water carrier) which you fill up and put outsdie your van with a submersible pump that you connect to the caravan. This then draws the water into the caravan when you open the taps etc.

Can also connect mains adaptors to the aquarolls that look like a cistern from a toilet and let fresh water in from a connected hose as the water level in the aquarol drops.

Lots of different threads on here about them or just try to google it.

good luck.

I doubt that it has an inboard water tank, I used ABI vans in the 90's and do not remember any ABI van of that vintage or earlier having such a tank.

For a licence dated 1997 or later you must add together the plated max weight of the caravan and trailer, if the total is 3500 or less you can tow it. You may even tow a caravan with a MAM greater than the cars unladen mass the restriction was removed in 2013
