Hi
I recently bought a bailey 2007 Senator Arizona, Ive never had a van with an on board water tank before.

My problem is I cant get it filled, there is a blue water pipe coming out off the top of tank but it is not connected to anywhere, just finishes beside the pump. There is only room for one hose to connect to the pump and this is drawing from the outside tank and filling the hot water tank as it should. Surely you don't manually have to change pipes over? plus how is it filled? There is a few cm of water lying in the on board tank so someone has used it before!

Thanks in advance

We have an Bailey Indiana series 5 2005, and the pump is connected to the tank. Do you have the hand book, if not you can down load from here , page 28 shows the pump configuration.

Also there is a small black valve under the van next to the hot water outlet, it empties the tank completely.

Hope this helps.

Thanks jasper15
Yes I have the manual but it looks nothing like the same thing. I have no valves on mine apart from the drainage one beside the hot water tank.

I can only think that the pump has been replaced and they felt the on board tank would never be used by them.

looks like i need a 3 way connector with valve plus a straight through with a valve also.

So anyone know where i can buy these?
Thanks
