Water heater In most caravans and motor homes, an appliance to heat water is integrated in the water system.
Buy a water heater Are you interested in a Therme, boiler or Combi heater? Installation overview Truma water heater. Installation overview Truma Therme. Installation overview Combi heater. Fittings Water systems in caravans and motor homes also include all the fittings in the kitchen and bathroom. Tips for fittings Ceramic cartridges can usually be replaced without having to replace the complete fitting. Frost can damage fittings in the vehicle. This ensures that no more water can flow through the pipes into the tap.
Wastewater tank Like with freshwater tanks, there are also mobile tanks and canisters and fixed tanks for wastewater. Tips for wastewater tanks Clean the wastewater tank regularly with chemical cleaning products from specialist retail outlets. Do not allow the products to remain in the tank for longer than specified by the manufacturer so that it does not attack the piping or tank material.

They are usually found in bigger campervans and RVs. These are the lightest and smallest tanks available on the market.
If you own a smaller caravan and plan on staying at campsites with a freshwater source, then they may be the best option for you. Depending on the model of the caravan, fixed water tanks may be installed in different parts of the van. Commonly they are under the floor but can also be inserted under the sink or the bench. These tanks are filled via an inlet on the side of the van.
For motorhomes this is fine, but for caravans it can be difficult to park them so that the inlet is adjacent to the water source. Portable water tanks are connected to the side of the caravan through a pump and hose connection kit.
Many people fill their water tanks and go. However, be sure to never connect the mains water supply directly to your van without an onboard tank unless you want to turn your van into a swimming pool!
With a tank in between, any issues with the connection between the mains and your van will result in mains water overflowing outside your van, rather than inside it! Water pumps draw water from your freshwater tank and distribute it throughout your van. There are two main types of electric water pumps: submersible and pressure. Both of these pumps require a switch for activation.
These can be pressure-sensitive switches or microswitches inside the actual taps. These pumps typically run off 12V, so keep them in mind when sizing your battery and solar system.
Typically found in caravans, these are lightweight and inexpensive. They are better for portable water tanks and containers rather than fixed water tanks.
They always need to be operated with a decent level of water above them. If they are run while dry, they can be damaged. While fixing them is cheaper than repairing a pressure pump, it is still a hassle and the last thing you need while out on a trip. These are mostly used in campervans and are more expensive. They keep the water pipes on the outlet side of the pump under pressure at all times, which means that you will have water coming out the moment that you open the tap.
Pressure pumps are preferable for showers because of their superior water flow. However, they are more expensive to buy and repair.
Some people might find that they are also too loud, as they make quite a loud vibrating noise while in operation. This can be a problem at night, as your piping may slowly lose pressure over time, causing the pump to automatically turn on and re-pressure the system multiple times each night. Most caravans and campers have two to four outlets. Typically, these include the kitchen and bathroom sinks, the shower and finally, the toilet.
For three outlets, a 12V pump delivering 12 litres per minute will suit your needs. At this flow rate, the children can wash the dishes while you enjoy a shower! Intake strainers prevent debris and unwanted particles from entering your water pump. This ensures that the pump doesn't get clogged or damaged. Basic strainers use a metal screen to prevent grit from entering the water supply. You need to use a food quality pipe specifically designed for this purpose.
Otherwise, you are putting you and your family at risk of ingesting all kinds of nasty chemicals and bacteria. Use push-on fittings to connect your water pipe to your tank and mains supply.
Screw on fittings are also commonly found in caravans and their threaded appliances. There are several kinds of water heaters that run on a variety of different fuel sources, including electric, gas, and diesel. These are regular water heaters that use an LPG cylinder to heat water. They heat water very quickly.
However, condensation from combustion can be an issue so they need to be used externally with good ventilation. They also require servicing by a gas engineer which is an additional cost. An excellent option if you have the means to use them. Electric heaters work as long as you have access to a mains outlet like at a powered site or solar panels with a decently sized battery. They can also be more environmentally friendly if you are using solar panels.
Of course, the obvious disadvantage is that you need to have electric power to be able to use one.
