Do any of you guys out there have one of these vans ?
Basically what I would like to do is the following but no info in the manual to say can be done.
To use the outboard water the 2 red handles under front bench point to the caravan wall, it runs constantly off OB tank, now to fill the on board tank you turn the nearest red handle the opposite way, on board tank fills, once full the other red handle is pushed the other way.
So am I right in assuming you can't fill the on board tank and keep the outboard one full to and once the inboard level drops it automatically fills to top again, if using on board tank, each time you have to manually change directions of handles etc, whereas the outboard one, just leave them and don't have to keep dismantling front of van each time an messing about with the red taps.

Thanks to all.

if using the on board tank you can use and leave both handles facing inwards.

But once its gone you need to top up from ob tank again. its a shame the onboard  tank cant have a permanant feed from outside,would save a lot of trouble.

Yea it's a real drama, why they didn't just have a switch on the main panel to use EXT or INT water tank is beyond me, rather than sofa up every time an levers this way that way
