Control panel

[Mark5204]

can someone please tell me what the internal and external pumps are on control panel. I suppose the internal is for taps, shower etc. What is external about?

The Whale website indicates that yours is simply for supplying external water as per a caravan.

As in ---just feeds the pressure system??----if this is so---what switches the pump off when not using water???

I found a picture in some literature for my van when it was new-----it shows a picture of a hose with a tap fitting on the end connected to the water socket thing---described as 'town water inlet'-------in the list of options for the van it shows a 'supply module--infeed socket, public water connection, submerged pump with connecting hose and change-over valve'------------I don't know anything about 'a change-over valve'-----maybe?? this changes over power supply from inboard pump to external one ??___AND switches water supply from one source to the other ????
I haven't seen a switch-over valve anywhere------I wonder where it could possibly be ??

Our Starfire has one built in, also came with the external pump, as our internal water tank is small we use a full collapsable water carrier for showering with the external pump

I fitted a socket to my Autotrail as I find it very useful to top up the water when pitched for longer periods when you don't want to keep backing off the pitch just to top up you're water when you don't have a tap nearby for. Hose

Did the same with my Hymer & carry an Aquaroll on the cycle rack.
