Pump running but no water coming out of shower

[west hythe]

Just tried to use my shower for the first time. Filled the tank up water is coming out of the tap no problem but not coming out the shower but I can hear the motor running tried emptying the tank again and refilling and sucking through the pipe but still nothing. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

There are probably only two possible issues, the hose from the pump is pinched, you should be able to see most of it from the hatch in the wardrobe and the top of the water tank with the gas bottle in it.

More likely is the water connection, the valve is very similar if not identical (with a notch cut out) to a portable BBQ gas connection, there is a one way check valve inside it, it might be stuck and whist inserting the end is meant to release it, it might be some very careful use of a soft implement to just give it an extra bit of pressure to help free up the ball in the valve might help.

Thanks for your reply but I dismantled the water connector this morning and that seemed fine. I tried to blow through the pipe which seems blocked so I got a piece of thin wire and pushed that down it which seemed to clear it and then when I switched the pump on water came out the water was a bit orange at first. I was a bit reluctant to doing it as the van's only 2 years old and I've never filled it up with water since I've had it maybe that was the problem anyway, save me a trip to the dealers.
