Hi and welcome back to our channel
In this video, we'll walk you through the process of installing the Shurflo Trail King 10 water pump and Fiamma A20 accumulator. These two components work together to provide reliable water pressure and a consistent flow rate for your campervan.
We'll cover everything you need to know, from selecting the right location for the pump and accumulator, to connecting the hoses and wiring. We'll also share tips and tricks for troubleshooting common issues and ensuring a successful installation.

I love your videos and anyone with good basic skills, you always seem to provide enough knowledge to see out these jobs. I fitted a larger pump a while ago and it does make a difference. What I need to do now is fit an Actuator, so thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍

The acctuator will hopefully extend tge life of the pump
Can’t believe it Sam. I watched your video a week ago before we left the UK and today my identical pump has done the same as yours in Italy. I wouldn’t mind but I carry a spare motor but no diaphragm assembly and we’re away for another month. It’s 3 years old and I’ve always had an accumulator on it. Like yours mine used to be wall mounted upside down so I could pump the water from right to left but I always worried one day the water might leak past the water seals and down into the motor windings and fail hence the spare motor. But last July I fabricated a bracket so I could fit it with the motor above the diaphragm but it still didn’t stop it failing. Build quality is pants. Keep up the great videos

Yes thanks Sam. Managed to buy a valve assembly kit for 22 Euros in Italy. Fitted it and it’s been working fine ever since.

@Basilbrush207 wow that's way cheaper than here
Yours is the best site for van building and maintenance, such as this video. Now your van is built, if you wanted other video ideas, it might be good to do videos such as 'if I was building my water system again in 2023, I would.....'. Like this one, adding an accumulator, adding the bigger pump. So you could almost revisit all your build video ideas, but adding your latest advice. You get to use your old video filming, but adding new voice overs, if you were building your van in 2023? "Electrics revisited" etc. This may fill the gaps in natural filming, when you are trying to enjoy your time off with the family. New videos, revisiting builds with 2023 updates, festival videos, and travels when you take them. At some point, the algorithm will kick in and your numbers will take off even more. You are doing it well, don't look to change your style.

its important to relieve the expansion vessel of any external water pressure before increasing bladder air pressure or the function wont be accurate. Also there should be slightly less pressure in the vessel so the pump can differentiate when to re-start. Volume is king with these things. Accumulator / expansion vessel allows for hot water expansion from your water heater too , otherwise your pressure relief / drainage valve will keep letting-by. So, larger vessels hold more (pressurised) water volume cycling the pump less often. Mine is 2 litre...

Diaphragms are just not reliable. A friend of mine ended up with 2 kids he hadn't planned on. 🤣 (Ducking and running...) 😁
