When I had my Bailey Pageant it had the water pump (whale in the aquaroll) type which I bought a spare (approx £50), to keep in the van whilst on my summer holidays in France just in case it stopped working.

I have just changed my van for a Crusader which has an aquasource inboard pump fitted and thought I would buy a replacement to keep in the van as a spare on my holiday to France this year just in case. I have found these are just over £100 or so, which to buy as a 'may need' is expensive, also if  failed it would be a warranty job anyway. Has anybody any ideas how to get round this problem as all the water system is run by this pump and I would not imagine it would be easy to get hold of in France. The ideal situation would be for a dealer to loan one on sale or return, does anyone know of somebody that does this?

Thanks

You have asked a question that has been crossing my own mind. It would be interesting to hear about the reliability of the inboard pumps as we are  about to change vans with the built in variety.

To me the issue is not availability but reliability! We have been used to taking a spare submersible one with on our travels around Europe but the built in ones surely should be much more robust or is that wishful thinking on my part?

They are quite noisy in use or is it normal?
