Hi

We used to own one of these but haven't had it for a few years now. The water pump is 12V and if memory serves me correctly is at the front left hand of the van (if you are standing looking at the front). It is in below a flap and should have a round clear plastic filter below it. This needs to be changed once a year normally at the start of the season. You just push the pump into the locating holes, (the plug carries both the water and the 12v supply) turn the clips to hold it in and switch it on at your control panel. The outlets are at the back of the van - the easy way to find these is pour some water down the sink and watch where it flows out. From memory it is the standard 20mm waste fittings. I think there was also another pump inlet in the toilet tank compartment that could be used to fill the flush tank.

As for a manual I doubt if you will get an electronic one but you might get a proper one on ebay or from a dismantler.

Enjoy the van - my OH reckons it was the best van we ever owned.
