Having previously replaced my tap a year ago,it isn't getting any water through all of a sudden.I'm reading previous posts that it might be the fuse,where is it? Could it be the pipe that joins to the underside of the van with electric connections need replacing? Or could it be the tap,which was extremely difficult to get my hand round the back of the cupboard to attach the pipe.Also,we had a new liesure battery fitted,could this be anything to do with it?

Not sure what type of electric box you have?

This shows my 1989 Puck no fuses that I remember, just the trip switches arrowed.

This shows the later type box in my 2006 Triton and fuses are under the cover arrowed.

Are the internal lights still working? What age is the van?

If you haven't had the tap working since fitting you may have a simple air lock. If you can hear the motor in the pump making noise and no water coming out then it would suggest either your pipe is not fitted correctly and you need to look if any water is seeping somewhere as it isn't coming out of the tap. And if all the connections are OK then I would guess at an air lock. Someone else may be able to help advise how to remove it as I am not sure myself.

sometimes you need to use a flat bladed screw driver and gently turn the pump impellor at bottom, they sometimes stick, do this without tap on, then try
working the tap on and off, I sometimes need to do that with the bathroom tap if laid up a while, and it eventually springs into life, as though some contacts needed cleaning
try a light incase 12v battery flat
if you have a heater fan try that to see if work, have just discovered the 7.5 fuse 2nd down on the bip works the heater fan and kitchen tap on my troll, it may be differently wired on yours..
hope you manage to restore

Can you hear the pump clicking or buzzing when the tap is turned on? If so try soaking it in porcelain solution. If you can't hear any buzz or click then the electric isn't feeding it which may be a fuse blown. This happened to me recently and the taps use a 7.5 amp fuse which is sitting where hob indicated.

I had a 1993 Puck with the fold down brown tap which stopped working, it was the microswitch in the tap which had eventually given up, it is a common fault. It is possible to just change the switch but it is very fiddly, I got a new tap from Jandi caravans, it wasn't that expensive.

Ignore my comments I can see you have already changed the tap..It sounds like you are going to need a multi meter to see if you are getting any voltage to the tap or the pump.


When I go on holiday I like to pop my top!
