After our first shakedown trip in the Triton 420 one thing we noticed was the 12L under sink water tank is not big enough for family needs.
Met another Eriba user on site who had an aquaroll attached to an external socket on the body of his Triton. He said it worked really well.
As he was in the process of leaving the site I did not get the opportunity to investigate thoroughly so I am now looking for a 'HowTo' guide for plumbing an Aquaroll into a Triton water system.

Thought I'd found all the info at another Eriba forum (https://www.eribaforum.co.uk/eriba%20amiga/) but unfortunately their site is poorly maintained and the accompanying instructions are lacking the illustrations and diagrams (https://www.eribaforum.co.uk/eriba%20ami...ct_water_2.html)
Seems that the original author of this very informative post has since died, so my chances of getting any further info is slim.

Sure there must be many others who have gone this route and may have produced a helpful guide and parts list ??

Well the Aquaroll vs on board tank discussion is no longer relevant as Mrs B has gone and ordered an Aquaroll !
So the original question remains: what is the best way to connect it to the on board plumbing ?
The guy I met briefly had a port fixed to the side of the Eriba and a pipe (& pump) that dropped down into the Aquaroll.
(He said it worked perfectly for him as when travelling the Roller and Waste tank lived in the shower space.)

The project section of Eriba Amiga was stuffed with useful info and the now sadly deceased Rob Jax had lots of good info.
Another thing he mentioned was putting an electrical relay on the taps micro switches. Interesting thought.

But, at this stage I just need to get the, soon to arrive, Aquaroll plumbed into my taps and would appreciate any further info / diagrams/ parts lists and suppliers
😁😁😁

Like the idea of HOT water but I maybe getting a bit soft

One thing I've discovered whilst re-equipping us ready for the new van, is that there are lots of people selling used Aquarolls and Wastemasters at about 50% of the new price.

It can be sad buying such used stuff. During the weekend I bought a noseweight gauge from a lady whose husband passed away last autumn and she's getting rid of caravan gear assembled over decades. She told me she misses caravanning desperately and has even pondered buying a tiny van that she might manage on her own.

A few hours later I collected an awning from a couple where the man had a stroke just before Christmas. When he came home he couldn't walk or speak. He's walking now with the aid of crutches and we had good conversations about caravanning items, but his wife was definitely in charge and obviously under substantial stress.

Such incidents make you think.

I have had three Tritons now, ranging from 1999 to 2005. The first had an onboard tank under the seats, the second had two water containers (one under the kitchen sink and one under the bathroom sink) and our latest one has an Aquaroll. I much, much prefer the latter for its freeing up of onboard storage space. I have changed the older Aquaroll it came with for a newer one (40litres rather than 29litres - it also has more (and larger) access ports), because the original was marginal on supplying us with enough water for a weekend away. You just plug in the Whale pump and drop it in the tank. So easy. I will go and have a look at my van tomorrow (it's in storage) and work out how the installation was done, if that's helpful.

Hi Simboc2004
I would be very interested to see how the pipework runs.
Does the aquaroll and whale pump supply both the bathroom and the kitchen ?

Hi rs540,
Do you remember the specifications for the relay and where you sourced it ?

I have an external water point, fed by an aquaroll and external pump in my 2007 Triton.
The installation is relatively simple but does require cutting through the van's wall which could create a damp problem if not carried out properly.

In mine, the water inlet comes through the wall in to the cupboard under the sink in the washroom, thus hiding it from view. The existing power supply to the tap will need to be diverted to the pump contacts in the new water outlet.
The water hose is then fed directly to the washroom tap with a tee to a length of hose that runs under the caravan and up in to the kitchen tap.
The existing micro switches in the taps will switch the new external pump on and off.

As for not wanting to trundle an aquaroll across the site, I wonder how an internal tank is filled?

I also carried out a further modification to save the tap micro switches by fitting a relay. I fitted the relay in a small plastic box with an illuminated isolating switch.
The switch enables me to isolate the supply to the pump during shutdowns and also provides a gentle light within the washroom for a night time wee!
