We've just traded form our Carthago - admitted a smaller A Class model than yours, for pretty much same reasons. Great build quality, but poor ground clearance and just a bit too dark and fussy inside. We also went for a MLt 580 but the 4x4 model. Certainly has sorted the ground clearance issue and has a much more contemporary interior feel. My next mod is going to be your water pump upgrade.

With the water pump mod I’d put the water pump switch inside and not in the garage. Then it’s much easier to access as it’s not a bad idea to turn it off while not in use. Getting into the garage is not so convenient especially if it’s loaded.

Our water pump started constantly running. We had to control it from the Truma panel, in our 2014 Auto Sleeper Broadway FL. It took me 10 minutes to fix it thanks to Andy. Under the right hand side rear is designated for the boiler and leisure batteries for ventilation and access. All the other space is ours.

Thanks for the video. I have a 2007 hymer caravan that's had this conversion done but has left the original pump in place. What's the power consumption compared with the original Reich? I've also had the shower mixer (reich) fail as it seems to have blown a seam on it. Going to look at turning the pressure down a bit too as the toilet flush is now so fierce the water ends up out of the bowl.
@AndySanderson5 ай бұрын
There are 20 and 30 psi versions of these pumps. I was worried pipe connections may not be up to the continuous pressure and i turn system off and briefly turn a tap on when not in use to relieve it. If you’ve got the more powerful version that may be the cause of too much pressure. You can check power consumption etc on the pumps from the Shurflo data on various websites.

Let us know how you get on. I’d think about situating the pump switch inside the habitation area, maybe below the dining area seats and not away in the garage.

The current habitation pump is protected by a 7.5 amp fuse so considering using the existing wiring?

You can put in at Glasbury on the down river side, up river you're technically not allowed to put in but you just need to walk under the bridge & you're good to go. I confirmed this at the canoe hire company at Glasbury & actually put in on the down side of the bridge with no problems. Its all about the council having to do an environmental impact study on the up river side, the other down river side of the bridge isn't anything to do with them so no restrictions. It's very pretty on this section but the river really meanders & can be shallow in places requiring you to haul over the shingles in lower water conditions not a major problem but can slow you down, I underestimated my timings & the distance to bycross campsite & only just made it before dark absolutely knackered. Probably best to split this section in two especially if you're inexperienced &/or using an inflatable as they're slower than solid kayaks. If the river has decent flow you might be ok to do the whole stretch but it's much more enjoyable to take your time & take in the scenery & wildlife.

It might sound a bit basic but reading the manual would have helped you as it shows the winter drain down and reset in the Habitation handbook but the dealer should have showed the location of the drain down/ frost valve and checked it was closed on handover.
