Brad my tank hose is now in the shower assembly so space has not been improved just the mains connection is gone. I turn my water off at the quarter turn valve when we go away for the day. I stayed next to a van once which had a pipe blow off in side and it made a mess. I do not like the way Jayco use clear tube. Mine has gone a bit yukky inside, I thought about re doing it, maybe in my favourite Bunning's pressure pipe, not that it needs to be pressure but just the convenience of getting it at Bunning's.
