(Maybe this should be split to a new topic as it isn't Insurance related.)

Your intermittent shudder is probably a small airlock in the system or even a slight leak. Check and see if water is dripping from your boiler dump valve first.

Thank you we noticed that the valve was getting it hard to recognize that we had it in closed position as we were filling the tank before we left I’ll check in morning to see if it’s leaking

We had something similar in our new Autotrail. A single pump stroke every 15 mins or so.
It was a small leak in a pipe connector to the kitchen sink. The dealer had searched for it, and it was back to the factory for a separate problem and neither could find it.

Found it myself through luck when parked on a slope and happened to be looking at the step and had a drop fall on me!

Have a good look around but if you can’t find it you can take some comfort that if it is a leak; it must be very small.

Since water has no colour and if the leak is coming between you and your sleep, add some food colourant to your water tank. All of the food colours can be found beside the icing sugar in a good supermarket. A blue or green should leave a tell tale streak.
