Hi All,
I am Claire and actually in Australia but this seemed like a great forum so thought i'd give you guys a try!
we have just bought a 2010 Avan Conquest and took it away last week end. The only problem we had was with the fresh water, it has an electric water and battery gauge fitted in the van. The water from the tank started to splutter one morning and the gauge read empty, no problem as we had a water supply. we began to fill the tank and it appeared to fill very quickly, the water began to flow back out and the gauge read full, it is 110 litre tank, we thought that maybe the gauge isn't working or there maybe an air lock not allowing anymore water in. there is a trap door inside the van where you can access the top of the tank so we opened it to have a look and could see water right to the top of the tank and when we opened the cap on the top of the tank the water even spurted out breifly, oh well it must be full then right? anyway later the same day, i would say we had used at most 5 or 10 liters the tap started to splutter again and the guage read empty ??? so anyone have any idea what is going on, i am sure it is probably something obvious that we are missing and you are all shaking your heads and having a chuckle at me but we are very new to all this :-[ sorry!
thanks claire
