Hi! All, We have a 2013,22ft Jayco Sterling full van, water OK from tanks with pump going, but when the high pressure hose is connected we get a very slow trickle, I then need to switch on pump, but by doing so the pump aspirates the water from our tank and not the high hose, will welcome any suggestions.

The water pressure limiting valve can be pulled apart and then you need to remove the spring and give it a good stretch by hand, replace the spring and you will have perfect water pressure still allowing the limiter to do it's job limiting high water pressure.
You may need to do this every 12months or just when the pressure is dropping again.
Bob's picture is what it looks like and you can just push the
John Guest fittings in to completely remove to stretch the spring.
Much cheaper than replacing.

Thanks Chaps, I have discovered the stop valve has broken down, heading towards Dubbo in a few days after our stay at The
Boggabri Drovers Campfire to try and purchase one, but will give your suggestion a try before I buy one Thanks everyone for your info.B.Kelly
