So many questions since picking up my new Triton 430. I need to point out that I bought it as an ex demo so bought the van not having had the input of configuring what I wanted. Having said that it’s a lovely van but realising after years of campervanning the Eriba has less on it that I used to take for granted with the Campervan. Case in point - waste water. Before I make a fool of myself by ringing the dealer, I thought I’d check on here first. I’m looking at the water system and I remember at the handover that water started pouring out the bottom of the van when the taps were on. There was some discussion and woman showing me was told to shut off the water outlet. Now I have the van at home I have looked all round and under the van and cannot find a waste water tank or waste water tap. Does it not have one? If so where would it be? And if not does that mean waste water simply pours out from the van onto the floor or some container that has to be put there? The other point is about the spare wheel or rather the lack of one. I thought it would have one but it doesn’t so is a spare wheel another optional extra? Thanks in anticipation

Colín- once again many thanks for clearing that up for me. Oddly enough I have one of those grey things with wheels which was given to me along with some other bits I picked up on eBay. I had thought of getting rid but guess I might get some use of it now. And clearly my van is one of those that didn’t come with a spare wheel which I must confess surprised me when I looked and saw an empty space.
As you are the font of all knowledge let me ask one more question. My van has the inlet for an installed 30 ltr water tank and also a flap where I can connect a supplied water pump. Is the idea that I use the pump and that fills the tank or if I had an aqua roll would the pump just draw water as required which makes the water tank redundant. Or I could I simply fill the tank and not use the external pump.

if your eriba has a shower there may be 2 outlet pipes under the rest room floor, while a black bucket may look good, the orange ones used to be 98p at b&q allow increase for inflation 🤭
lifting 20ltrs water and holding a funnel is not easy, been there done that in previous life, the pump allows a sit down and a cuppa.

We had 2 waste water tanks but one had to be removed to fit the mover. you still have to empty those so I really don't see the point. We use a folding bucket.

Misunderstood

Hi John,
To answer your question in post #3, we have a similar setup and find that an aqua roll is useful for bringing the water from the tap. The pump is then used to fill the inboard tank - you get used to hearing the gurgling sound change as the tank is full and it backs up the spout.

As Colin says, you need to make sure that the screw-down lid of the inboard tank is fastened down well or you could end up filling the inside of the van.

Don’t make the mistake I made recently where I went off to do another job while the pump was on and I forgot about it! The aqua roll had emptied and the pump ran dry and burned out which cost me £70 for a replacement.

If the new Eriba vans have no spare wheel as standard, is there a repair kit or similar? Even if you did have a spare, a lot of the time there is no jack etc to change it safely?

Mines new and no spare wheel and no repair kit/aerosol etc

Thanks that’s very helpful. Spent the day exploring things on my 430 and think I’ve got a lot of things sorted especially re how water/tanks/ boiler all work together.
