We have a Jayco caravan and have been having trouble getting the water tanks to take water. We have even had trouble after all the water has been dropped from the tanks. Our success rate in filling the tanks is about 1/4 times.
We would like to know if any others have had problems and what have you done to alleviate the problem?
Don't want to hear from Jayco baggers please. We are very happy with our caravan otherwise.
We have contacted Jayco HO and they advised that maybe we could use a Cone at the end of the hose. Has anyone done this with success? Also because our van is 7 years old ( we bought it 2nd hand) Jayco say it should have been addressed when it was under warranty.
On speaking to other Jayco caravan owners, apparently this is a common problem, even in vans that are less than 12mths old so the problem could not be an age thing.
A couple of people have told us they rectified the problem by inserting a hose inlet straight into the water tanks.
It can be a headache at times as we have a loo and shower in the van and we have to run off 20ltr & 10ltr water bottles inside the van to get us through until the next time the tanks decide they want to take water.
We have checked for kinks in the hose and also holes but it is clear but something is causing this to happen (air blockage abviously).
Any feedback or advise would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
