Can any one help. We bought a 2011 swift island jura at the end of the summer last year. We did have instructions on how to set up the water, however we seem to have misplaced them and can't get the water to run as we have air trapped in the pipes..
I'm sure there was specific order of doing things, can anyone advise please.
Thanks

This may be a stupid question but have you tried google or YouTube? You can pretty much find anything on those!

The water system needs priming which means continuously running water from the external barrel via the pump through the system with all the taps open. The hot water system needs to fill the hot tank first before it feeds the hot water pipes and the highest point will be the shower head. In simple terms, the water just has to push all the air out of the water pipes.
