I’ve experienced exactly the same issues as you over the last 12 months with the Truma pump, so I bought the Whale after seeing this and what a difference it makes! I can stand my barrel upright now and no longer have to fill it up three times a day, despite it already being half full of water! Thanks again for the great tip.

The submersible pump that came with our 2006 caravan, Truma Trauma, was a pathetic dribble. Les, bent my ear about it on several occasions. So I did some homework and bought a Whale. What a difference, I have carried the original for a few months in case there was a problem but the next trip will be a pump lighter.

Thanks for this very useful video! I had a whale-pump from the start but accidentally had it run dry (which happens quite easily). I replaced it with a comet pump which basically looks the same and was a little cheaper plus it has a 30min dry run capability. But I keep forgetting to turn the pump off in the van before I drive away in the car to get the aqua roll filled. There is much danger in damaging the pump again, so overall I'm not too happy about this design.

Brilliant! First time out with our recently purchased Sterling last weekend and we had a nightmare with the Truma pump. It had clearly been rolled fairly tightly by the previous owner, had a couple of nasty kinks so the flow was very slow, and was so inflexible that it kept rolling itself up out of the water in the aquaroll. It had worked ok on a warm September day when tested in our garden, but a cold November day on site was a different matter. A quick search on the 'net brought up your video and I'm delighted to find that whale have produced a better alternative. Mine's on order, I'm confident the air will be less blue next time out.

Wished I'd seen this video earlier as we had this problem recently when we ran out of water at Burford (just after dark!). Re-filled the Aqua Roll and when connected with the Truma pump got drenched when the pipe connector had come off inside the pump connector at the caravan end. As a result got drenched , cut finger and sweaing trying to get the offending Truma clip back onto the pipe once back inside the caravan iwhere there was some light Ended up repairing with a s/steel jubilee clip and some electrical tape to stop the jubilee clip touching the spade connectors. My brother had the same problem with his coming off too. Anyone who hasnt replaced their Truma pump might want to do this fix before it happens to them. Now thanks to Dans vids off fix the loo warning light and make some LED awning lights.

Just a minor point is that the trauma (spell checked changed it from Truma to trauma which is ironic) does actually have a similar clip to hold the pipe whilst you’re refilling. It’s the little blue clip on top of I remember correctly. Having said that you are entirely correct in that it is a dreadful design for all the reasons you pointed out.

Yeah, i see no reason why not. new housing, and attach the existing wiring to the new terminals. If you use the Whale housing, they have 3 terminals (2 for power, 1 for illuminating the pump in use led) and an inbuilt pressure switch. The housing requires a 12v feed (always on when the pump is switched on from the panel) - so this might be the neatest solution for you.

Exactly the same problem myself and this will solve them I'm sure. What it won't solve is the Truma rip off inlet filter cap. That's around £12 but eventually the blue cap itself will leak. Solution is a new O ring but you can't get them, you have to buy the entire cap at an average £25! Go to an engineers supplier, the O ring is 2.5mm x 70mm and a pack of 10 is, (wait for it) - £2.65!!! 26 pence compared to Truma "well corner the market by restrictive availability" £25! As if we're not taken for a ride enough by "servicing" that's actually no more than checking it works regardless of miles/work done, I'm also wrestling with a Dometic toilet with a seal that lasts about 3 weeks and costs £40 to replace! Have to say I think it's high time Lunar looked at this rubbish and all manufacturers restricted the over pricing to their customers if they want to install in their vans. The industry is about 30 years behind the motor trade and reminds me when there was a time a car salesman or mechanic couldn't be trusted!
