Went away last week to Mullion Cornwall.Was woken up by SWMBO at 6 in the morning saying we had a problem. There was water coming down the van and an indoor paddling pool in the bathroom. Turned water off from tap, it was a continual hose feed and took carpet out of the shower tray to release the pool and went back to bed.

I had to remove shower panel and the cold water inlet pipe had come away from the tap. Parkdean at Mullion where we were staying lent us an aqua vac to get most of the water out of the carpets and then we left the windows in the van open to dry the carpet out.

Now home and have removed all of the carpets and lino from the floor. I have also removed the shower tray fearing real damage however the floor appears to have escaped any real damage. Will look for new lino and new carpets soon.

It did not spoil the holiday and looking back it was quite funny. Can't wait to get back on the road.

Sounds familier Lee_Prop, was away last week and I thought my little boy had been peeing on the bathroom carpet but it turned out to be the hot feed into the sink tap had come loose.  I eventually realised that all I needed to do to fix the problem was push the pipe back into the base of the tap. Seems to have stopped the leak but I was a little surprised that the pipes are not secured more into the taps.
