I have a Warwick duo, 2010. The waste drain pipe and tap is fitted to the underside with a clip. The fresh water pipe is loose, and I cannot see where it might fix Autosleepers have sent me a bracket which fits over the tap, and is clearly meant to be fixed somewhere with a nut and built. But where?

They are held up by a Terry clip, presumably there must be a hole in the van floor close to the sill where a previous one was .

Thanks . I thought that this was the case, but I can't understand why Autosleepers have sent me a bracket. I'll get a terry clip.

Terry clip either riveted or self tappered to just inside the flange hanging down from the sill where the inner sill meets the outer. The hole will only be around 3mm and may have  the  broken rusted remains of the self tapper in it. Both our 2014 and now 2017 Van's are exactly the same in the methods used. The 2014 van had an additional bit of wire tying the hose up  mid ,length to stop it hanging so low under the van . This was suspended from the van chassis above.

If it’s any help, this is what mine looks like (probably nothing like yours!).

My grey waste pipe is missing because I’ve rerouted it to fit an electric waste but I hope it gives you an idea.

Thanks all. I think I have it sorted now. At least I have found a solution. It seems that the waste pipe was fitted to the water clip, and the water hose fitted ,half way along, to the waste clip. I have changed them around, and while it does leave the water pipe a bit dangling in the middle, it seems to be the answer.

A couple of heavy cable straps from the chassis will take care of the sagging hose and if left loose will allow it to move when required .
