DVD2009

Hi ,my bathroom tap only runs for about 20 secs and then stops , i have to push the toilet flush buton for a few secs and then turn the tap on again for about 20 secs. I dont hear the pump going when the tap comes on but i do for the flush ...any body have any ideas ....

TBH it's a small fiddley part of the internals of the tap , normally easier to replace the tap . Thats assuming that it is the problem . what type of camper is it?

Submersible pump so . It doesn't have to be a Hymer specific tap , any camping shop that has a tap that fits , as long as it has wires out of it will work . If you get some Electrical Contact Cleaner aerosol , and flush it into the top of the tap , it might help ? I assume it;s a normal lever type tap .

If so , if you prise up the centre top piece with the blue/red bit on it , there'll be a screw under it , either an Allen key or ordinary screw head ... then the lever will slide up and off , and the switch will be in there .
