Hi everyone, can anyone give me some advice on the advantages or disadvantages of a 1993 Adria Optima's onboard water system.  I can't find any info on the internet regarding the system.  They also don't seem to have a outside connection to an aquaroll, are they easy to adapt.

My 1991 has the same. Personally I removed the onboard tank as it was pain to fill and remove to clean and I do very little winter caravanning, but I have kept it just in case. I have extended the water hose using one of these and a hose back to back connector and fitted the pump to the bottom of the hard plastic pipe using a bit of the soft hose and extended the pump wiring out through the filler cap hole (cap removed) and fitted a submersible pump in the Aquroll that sits outside. Much easier to fill at the site tap rather than trying to lift the Aquaroll up to a funnel fitted in the filler cap.

Hi Inner Zone, thanks very much for your advice, thats a really good idea.  I have seen one of these vans and quite like them, maybe to purchase one, but have not seen one in the flesh. I have had a recent hip replacement, and did not relish lifting a container in and out or trotting back and forth with top up supplies in a watering can.

No problems. Had mine nineteen of it's twenty year life, bought from a dealer at one year old as unsold previous years stock, so pretty familiar it it. Apart from CRIS (1992 onwards), built-in toilet and maybe bed slats instead of a table, I think they are all very similar from 1990 to 1993/4 when I think they went end of life due to the situation in the then Yugoslavia.

I had 1992 optimas 350B I took the water tank out and fitted a carver 2 in its place so we could use the locker for storage. That was back in 1994

Do you still have this van? Would you happen to have photos of the set up you've described here?

Many thanks,

How did you get on?
I have the same van and a onboard water tank and it’s a pain to fill up 😫 I have an outside water port but I can’t work out how to fit a aqua roll pump or any other way to do it ? Each time the water runs out the whole thing is a pain in the arse xx

Any help would be appreciated xx

i have a 27 litre onboard tank on my avondale van.. i carry two spare 27 litre containers in the car boot.. i fill the onboard tank from the spare tanks using a short hose with a pump on the end..

its most useful for off grid work.. water instantly on hand with nothing to connect up..
