I am new to caravanning.
Have just purchased a secon-hand Boroma Tourista Grand. It has three water tanks and an electric pump starts up whenever you turn a tap on.

If I want to stay in a Van park for a couple of weeks, is it possible to hook up the van to the town water supply so I don't have to keep filling the tanks?

Geofff,

don't know what State you are in but check this link:

Boroma Repairs

This young bloke used to work for Boroma and has now set himself up as a Service Centre for Boromas.

Worth an enquiry I'm sure.

I'm glad I ain't too scared to be lazy

Have a good look around under the edges of the van (particularly the offside), and around the draw-bar as it is likely that the 'van is already set up for town water.

There may be a 'tap' on or near the draw-bar, but if it looks like a normal garden tap then that is most likely an 'outlet', not an 'inlet'. You need to look for a threaded fitting fitted to a ball valve and pipework. There may still be a clip-on garden-style hose fitting on the threaded inlet, if you have one.

On some 'vans, the inlet may be behind a lockable cap on the offside of the 'van.

good luck

Also there should be a switch inside the van where you switch the 12v pump on & off.

In most vans it is adjacent to the switches for the HWS.

I would get hold of whoever sold it to you and ask for a tour of how it all works

Very poor of someone not to show you how things work especially as it seems you are not au fait with vans.


Did they tell you anything, like how to hook it up and set the brakes in the car.

Even more important what does it weigh ATM on the palte and what are you towing it with.

A lot of those Boromas are heavy and are Cruiser towing material


Advice on here is usually good

There is a Boroma Owners forum you could join.
