We have had our new Troll nearly six months now and find the water containers in the bathroom cupboard and under the kitchen sink awkward to change and want to put it out side. Was wondering if any of you have done this and can provide a how to including which kit to buy,I am in charge of sourcing the parts then my husband will fit them any advise to make life easier for both of us would be great!

The external water supply is usually provided from an aquaroll (40 litre barrel) through a Whale watermaster socket or Crystal equivalent by a drop in submersible pump and then through piping to each tap. The taps can either be switched to turn the pump on or unswitched which activates the pump by dropping the pressure in the pipe work.
Fitting this lot is DIYable if you have basic cutting and joining skills but may be a bit daunting when it comes to cutting a hole in the side of your pride and joy although th Whale and Crystal sockets come with excellent templates.
If you do decide to go down this route it may be worth including a water heater in the system. The Truma Therme fits easily under the locker at the rear.

I tend to carry a 5l watering can and every time I head for the site loo carry it with me if needed and return with 5L of water to pour into the relevant container fair exchange as they say

Ditto, well ok we used to

The Whale Water Master external socket fits nicely in under the bathroom sink.
The 10l Propex water heater is very good http://www.propexheatsource.co.uk/heaters/10l-water-heater
but you will need mixer taps http://www.leisureshopdirect.com/caravan...reich_taps.aspx

*EDIT might as well take the kitchen and bathroom wastes into one pipe on the non door side

Did you get the name of the installer?

Hugh?

I fitted the Whale external socket and also a Propex water heater to our Troll last year. Reasonably easy to fit if you're competent with DIY.
When cutting the hole in the side of the van use a magnet to find the steel frame. You definitely don't want to hit that! You will also need to connect the pipework for the two taps together(wc & kitchen). I ran new pipes through the floor and under the van.
Not sure where you live but you're welcome to check out ours if you are passing Coventry.

Did you buy a kit to do it or just separate parts. Do you have details of parts we need for just cold water supply

The Whale Water Master Socket http://www.leisureshopdirect.com/caravan...ter_system.aspx
has everthing built in, I used flexible waste pipe but rigid pipe is available

*Please note there is a Pressure sensing socket and a Microswitch version.

The Pressure type will run on microswitches and or Pressure this is the one I used
