old van/new van

Just a tip re inboard pumps from a long-time 'vaner:
If an inboard pump is used then mount it on a piece of pile carpet (pile side DOWN) & don't do the mounting screws up any tighter than needed to retain it. This will stop the floor acting as a sounding board.
BTW inboard pumps are self-priming & capable of running dry without damage, in fact to drain the system when stored for winter the pump should be run for a few mins. to get all the water out.
Happy 'vaning!
