Welcome to the Craic MadMike. We were all clueless first timers at some stage, some of us could still be considered clueless after twelve years. I don't know about manuals but you're in the right place to ask questions. If you post some photos with specific questions it would be a help. I think you need a certain number of posts before you can upload photos so the more comments you make the quicker the number of posts rise. I'm sure there'll be someone more helpful along shortly.

Welcome to MHC Mick, you've made a good choice of van with the Globetrotter,as has been said if you can post a few pics,it would help in identifying the exact model you have

Thanks very much for the welcome messages
Just trying to post a couple of shots here to see if this works


Having fun already! Filled the water tank this morning after trying it a couple of times yesterday, but each time, there was water pouring out underneath. Finally realised the water tank is under one of the seats and the drain valve was open, so even though it would drain most of the water, it almost created a vacuum and kept a small bit in it and the taps worked yesterday.

Anyway, filled it this morning, turned on 12v and the pump kicked in and ran for maybe a minute or two and then cut out. All seemed good, so went to wash my hands to tidy up and when I shut off the tap, I could hear a spraying sound and suddenly had water flowing out of the bottom of the under sink cupboard.

Immediately panicked and ran outside to open the grey water valve thinking it had filled too much, came back in to streams of water running down the floor, opened the cupboard and the pipe had come off the cold water tap and was spraying everywhere. No idea how to isolate the water flowing, so immediately got in at the water tank and opened the drain valve, but this went on for what seemed like forever and EVENTUALLY all the water was gone. Spent ages mopping up and using towels and finally got under the sink to have a look.

Tried to reseat the push on fitting to the tap. Tried it a couple of times, but it didn't seem to catch, but persisted and finally it sort of clicked into place. Have refilled the tank and ran the pump and used the tap again and so far, it all seems ok!! Fingers crossed

Looking for help on a few bits, but think I'll post in the relevant section and see if anyone can help me out

With all the panic, I never even thought of that! Must try that switch later and see if it totally kills the flow alright

Great idea! I actually never thought of that.

I used to use 7zap.com a few years back for car parts. Just tried it there now but just comes up as a 1994-2002 Fiat Ducato Van. Also tried a VIN decoder and same result. I'll keep trying a few sites and see. I emailed Dethleff on Sunday with the VIN and the year and description requesting a manual but haven't heard anything back yet
