Why is it that as soon as I buy an Aqua roll I have offers of them coming out of my ears including a brand new one for free. The sun canopy with sides is of interest though. If you can find out some details and costs I'd be interested.

WHat I do Stu, is in the evening, make sure the internal tank is full and the aqua roll is full so next morning there is enough water for a brew and at least a couple of showers before having to top up. :thumbright:

We only had our caravan for a brief time and it didn't have a tank, but with an internal tank does it pump from the aquaroll into the tank and then when the tank starts to empty it tops up the tank again from the aqua roll ?

No you have to operate a manual valve - I'm sure I could rig something up with a suitable controller, but frankly apart from doing it for fun, it's not worth the effort and it's not difficult to turn a value.

How do you fill the tank from the aqua roll, is it just a filler nozzle.

There are two valves under the seat, so the pump can divert from the aqua roll to the tank or to the taps, or the other valve draws from the inboard tank to the taps. You can also arrange the taps to make the water pump around the pump and go nowhere. :lol:

That is way better than the system we had, we had a dangling pump which went into the Aquaroll. The hose had cables in it and a couple of spades on the socket where you clipped the hose in.

Its just the filter that goes in the aqua roll - you just have to replace the charcoal at least annually - otherwise it blocks the filter on the inlet to the pump and your buy a new pump cos you think it's knackered.................. :oops:
