I would be one of those that would not use the Aquasource or any other direct water main to caravan system. There are safer solutions that use a float valve in the Aquaroll.
an example:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Suitable-Aquaroll-Mains-Adaptor-Care-avan/dp/B004LD3C8O

The direct connected systems are dependant on a regulating valve always working correctly otherwise flooding of the van and more extensive van damage is a possibility.

With a float valve system, any failure of the float valve results in flooding the Aquaroll and pitch but not the van.

I am not saying the former will fail, but it can and the consequences can be so much greater than a wet pitch.

Your water system will be either a pressure system or a micro switched system as these are the only two types normally used.
