We used the Whale system on our old Bessacarr for 15 years and it was completely reliable and went with the van, still working.
The o rings (and there are 2 of them) are quite a narrow cross section, but shouldn't leak. Replace both and lubricate them with whatever you choose. I used Vaseline, but some will say this is not the best. Apply also to the plastic 'tube' that the o rings slide into. However, it works and you should plan to replace the o rings every season, as they tend to stretch, break, or tear.

If you don't lubricate them, its very difficult to fit the connector block to the van successfully, without a leak. It should be such that you can fold down the cover flap to the horizontal position, so that that the moulding on the flap holds the block in place.If don't achieve this, then do expect a leak

Unfortunately, there is an inherent issue with the pressure limiting valve in the device which causes the flow rate to be lower than using your pump. There is no resolution to this. If you have an onboard tank, the best use of the device is to use it to fill the tank, then use the pump as normal.
