We're about to collect our new van, it's got an on board water pump on it. All our previous vans have had water pumps which plug in from outside & the last one gave an acceptable flow at the shower.

Can anyone put our mind at rest about the on board ones, are they as good or better than the old type. I'm a little concerned about it being built in, with the old type, we always carried a spare, never need it mind but it was there. With this new one, a failed pump means no shower I guess.

Hi,

We have an on board pump and it is an excellent piece of kit. Apart from it leaking at a joint when new it has been 100% reliable.

The output is better than the submersible pumps, but best switch it off at night because they tend to "cycle" every so often to build the pressure back up and could wake a light sleeper.

Thanks for that Mr UM, appreciate the reply, I've been wondering how they compare.
