Hi I have just bought a 1997 Award Nightstar with an onboard water tank, I belong to a club and normally only caravan using 12v, does anyone know if you can override the water tank as I am concerned that filling this tank will drain my battery.

We had a Brightstar and decided the best thing was to take it out altogether. Much better without.

We have a Bailey, and we have the onboard water tank.  There are levers to operate it, and you can completely overide it, using the appropriate lever settings.  It then runs straight from the outside water carrier, through the pipes and out the tap! Magic!!  We havent yet been anywhere to use the onboard tank, and are beginning to rally, so dont know when we will - lol!

We have been reading the manual and it says that there is a switch under the bunk, but we can not find it!!  I think it looks like I need someone who has a Nightstar to point out exactly where the switch is.  Does anyone find that using this water tank drains their battery?
