Hi,

It depends on the make / model of your van / water attachment.
The most common mains water adapters these days still use the drum and pump, they just keep the container filled up for you.
There are other methods, but you will need to purchase a suitable pressure reducer.

The one that goes straight into your caravan is based on reducing the pressure.  The problem si that it reduces the pressure so much that it is a pain having a shower under a trickle.
