Anyone got a picture of their pump?
I'm thinking if I clear out the right side of the gas locker it might fit in there?

no to photo till tomorrow when someone else probably will have done one already, yes it will fit, but it will need most of the space in there, including the space taken by the pump you already seem to have

I've discovered it is 45cm long so I need to rearrange a battery

 

[Gorse Hill]

Is it not possible to fit these yourself, seems an expensive option (useful maybe) for what you get, level, steady van

 

[funflair]

E&P will only supply their system to accredited dealers.

Martin

 

[Techno]

No they're not sold to the public

Do you want a pic?

Yes please Robert.
Going out to open up the lockers this morning to see where the 'gubbins' can go without losing too much locker space, so would love to see your set up.

Richard.

 

[Robert Clark]

It has been fitted next to the water pump

 

[Techno]

Thanks Robert. Have you practiced getting a drill on the end of the pump?

 

[Jamwitt]

No space gained by getting rid of ramps then !

Hi
I had them place mine in the small floor locker on the hymer, near side front, as i've put a partition between the lockers, i carry one of those dewalt right angled cordless drills i have. i'll add a better (straight on) picture later, this one i've pinched from an existing thread.

No because I don't want it in the garage nor a hole in the floor there. The spot also sits above the grey waste tank so pipe and cable routing would not be practicle

 

[Robert Clark]

Thanks Robert. Have you practiced getting a drill on the end of the pump?

No, because we have a battery master and solar panels, so little chance of a flat engine battery

Yes but the pump could still suffer electrical failure

 

[funflair]

Ours is boxed in and takes a space 580 by 340.

Martin

 

[Techno]

Mine aint getting no 580
Cracking the flags here so I'm off to the van for some re modelling

No space gained or weight lost, but that's the price you pay for a proper levelling system.

I think E&P have a pump on the stand at Peterborough, I will take my tape measure.

Martin

 

[Techno]

I'm now thinking perhaps leave the batteries as they are and replace that small shelf with a full deck

Martin

Thanks Martin
I believe it should be 450 long 250 high and I think it said 150 wide.

 

[Lee27]

Another benefit is that it's great for greasing the alko rear torsion suspension, although I do put a couple of axle stands in place when i do it.

I meant to add; using the front jacks to lift the front wheels six inch off the floor was very helpful when i changed the gearbox oil, it made access underneath a doddle but also ensured that all the oil ran to the back and bottom of the gearbox, where the drain plug is.

I agree Andy and in the unlikely event that happens I will take a look at the instruction book and lower the ramps manually - I was shown how to do it at handover, but was advised that the likelihood of having to use the manual facility was remote.

 

[Lee27]

The size of my pump is a little under 40cm wide by 20cm heigh by approx 20cm deep, as mine sits; a little more width would be needed for the hoses, but these can obviously be adjusted to leave the pump in a different direction.

pump in place

sorry, can't really see the tape measure properly

to the right you should just about be able to see where the hoses exit the locker and go under the chassis of the van

better picture of where the hoses go, they didn't need to be that far away from the pump, they would bend sharper, but there is a hole in the side of the alko chassis in that location. the plastic piece where the hoses go through has a 2.5 inch diameter.

here you can see the brain of the system at the top fastened to the underside of the hymer floor, this contains the component that gauges whether it is level or not and should be fastened to a level/horizontal surface.

We need a new thread. Show us your Jacks

As long as you show us yours first.

Oh, I forgot, you're a bit lacking in the jack area at the moment.................like me.

Richard.

 

[Robert Clark]

Not wishing to boast - mine are currently FULLY extended, and I'm in a state of total elevation
