Questions and Answers

What to do if the pump cycles on and off periodically in my Bailey Caravan?
- C
  clarkchristopherAug 9, 2025
  If your Bailey Caravan's pump cycles on and off periodically when all taps are closed (which is normal with a partially opened tap), it could be due to several reasons. First, inspect the water system for leaks in the pipework or fittings, and repair them as necessary; also, ensure the water system drain plugs are closed. Another potential cause is the pressure switch, so check its settings. Lastly, verify that the battery is not discharged, as the power supply to the pump may be the issue.

Why is the water flow low in my Bailey Caravan?
- A
  Amanda RobinsonAug 15, 2025
  A low water flow in your Bailey Caravan can stem from several causes. Start by checking the pipework for any kinks or blockages. Also, verify that the battery is not discharged, ensuring adequate power to the pump. Inspect connections for crushed pipes due to overtightened jubilee clips, and replace any damaged connections. Finally, check for water leaks in the pipework and fittings, repairing as needed, and ensure the water system drain plugs are closed.

  Bradley FletcherAug 21, 2025
  If the pump in your Bailey Caravan runs but no water appears, there are a couple of things to check. First, make sure the water tank isn't empty. Also, check the filter cap for any blockages.

How to fix a Bailey Caravan pump that won't run?
- C
  Cory NunezAug 27, 2025
  If the pump in your Bailey Caravan isn't running, begin by checking the power supply. Ensure the mains isolator switch and the pump isolator switch are both turned on. If the power supply is not the issue, check if a fuse has blown and replace it, making sure not to exceed the recommended fuse size. Finally, inspect the pipework for any kinks or blockages that may be preventing the pump from running.

  Andrew SuttonSep 3, 2025
  If the pump in your Bailey Caravan continues to run even when all taps are closed, it could be due to a couple of reasons. Start by checking the water system for any leaks in the pipework and connections, and repair them as necessary. Also, make sure the water system drain plugs are closed. Another potential cause is an empty water tank or a blocked filter cap, so check those as well.
