12mm Push fit is the industry standard for leisure vehicles providing a simple but effective installation solution for end users from professionals to self-builders.

A minimum recommendation with hot water connections to provide support to the pipe when it becomes warm/pliable, many installers also use them on cold fittings simply for peace of mind.

The purpose of the locking clip is to stop the collet being depressed, which in turn may allow the pipe to be ejected from the fitting.

You can, however, they are actually two different systems. There are adapters, internal or external, depending on your fitting and you will require a  sealing sleeve.

It comes down to layout. What you must consider is that any form of trap introduced a restriction in an already small bore system.

The industry standard is Black 20mm Convoluted Waste Pipe, this may seem small, but when installed correctly will provide suitable drainage.

We have a comprehensive range but the Shurflo is by far the most popular pump, there are more expensive options, the choice is yours.

20psi is suitable for smaller vehicles and 30psi for larger systems. If your installing a Truma boiler don’t fit anything above 30psi as it may interfere with the safety relief valve.

Many small systems don’t require an accumulator, many people fit them as a precaution during installation, they can however be retrofitted into a system that doesn’t have one.&

No, they are only suitable for UK/RHD vehicles with single sliding doors.

Whilst we defiantly have everything you need, every van is slightly different. Sometimes it’s easier to conclude what pipe and fittings are needed after the tanks are in place.

This can very much be dictated by space or intended use. Whilst a large vehicle could accommodate internal tanks a smaller vehicle may need them to go underneath. If your planning skiing you may want to consider internal only.

The most effective way to your van/water is to burn a fuel. Gas is very efficient, quiet and consumes lower quantities of 12v power. Diesel can be noisier and also requires a higher level or 12v power supply. Electric is not likely to be the best option considering most heating is required in the darker months when solar may not be as regularly available.

In a nut shell, yes. We sell lots of these in both gas and diesel variants, whilst they may seem an expensive option, they are the best all in one solution for heating and hot water in a leisure vehicle. This is also backed up by excellent customer support from Truma in the unfortunate event of an issue.
