Hi
Stupid question I know, but so far we haven't used water from tank in our adria twin, choosing instead to use on site facilities etc. we did do the required drain down etc for winter, inc truma water heater. So, now feeling a little more confident, we attempted a bit of wild camping ( or should that be vanning?!). So put water in fresh water tank, set off. When it came to getting water, turned pump on, then tap - nothing, but could hear pump whirring. So tried both tap in kitchen and shower - still no water.
Do I need to do this for quite a while so water heater fills with water first before any comes out of taps or am I missing something completely? Didn't want to damage the pump by running for ages with no sign if water! I'm sure I was shown this when I got the van (2007 model) a year ago, but the notes I made at the time make no sense whatsoever!
Also whilst I'm on, once we have water, what is the process for getting hot water? And same heating?
Thanks
Stupid first time van owner! ( but loving every second in it!)
