Just trying to work out my new van(Expanda 16.49-3 07 model). I used to have a jayco finch which had these features but we're very basic, I have you tubed this but these to things I couldn't find.
it has a normal kitchen type sink mixer tap and if I hook up mains water it works fine, if I switch the power on to the pump, it also runs when I turn the tap on so I'm wondering if running on mains I just leave the pump off otherwise I'll get a mixture of mains and tank water, is this correct? If for what ever reason I want to run it on tank water only then I would have to disconnect the mains and turn on the pump.
I have worked out it has the standard wiring with the 12v aux coming through the 7 pin trailer plug which powers the fridge and goes to the cetec power box thingy(the original owner said that the fridge didn't work on 12v probly cause no one thinks to wire up 12v to the 7 pin plug). It has 2 batteries installed by jayco but after market. There's an Anderson plug installed already that goes directly to the batteries via the diode.
I want the fridge to work on 12v for travelling only, can I just disconnect the fridge from the bird nest and hook it to the Anderson plug wire before the diode so it never runs off the van battery. And just discard the wire from the 7 pin plug to the cetec charger thingy.
Sorry for the lot of writing for basic question.
Thanks
Luke.
