Where to put the Shurflo? (Warwick Duo)

Can someone who has done a Shurflo conversion on a Warwick Duo say whereabouts in the van the Shurflo can be fitted?

Thanks for the response.

Here is a photo of the bench seat on a Warwick Duo. This is where I expect the Shurflo will be fitted. You see there is less room than a Kingham.

A nice helpful chap on facebook with a Duo has told me his pump is under the driver side rear bench/bed mounted on the vertical panel. I had just assumed these pumps had to be mounted on the floor but now I know there are more options.

The van is booked into the AS service centre in 2 weeks.
The lady from technical services couldn't say where they will mount the pump but she said "they do a lot of them" so I will leave it in their hands.

PS I am prepared for the Shurflo to be noisier than the submersible, especially if it goes on the vertical panel. The driving factor behind this change is that I can't get at the pump when it's in a tank under the van.

I recognise the words used there, that FB guy was me.

Hope installation goes well.

If a Shurflo pump is fitted do you leave original pump in the tank. Kevin

 Yes , done mine kev and it was pretty straight forward.

How to do can be found on forum.

Thanks Kdc. I will have a  look. Kevin

I fitted our Shurflo pump next to the Truma heater to cut down on pipe work etc. Worked fine overhere, but last summer in the heat of the South of France it stopped working until it cooled down. I actually carry a spare pump, but the replacement went the same way.I have now moved it towards the battery and all now seems fine. Our Duo has a cut out section to the off side bench, so space is even more limited.

We always fitted Shurflos (in our hire narrow boats) on the engine room bulkhead in a vertical orientation. The engine rooms were quite hot but we never found that to be an issue with the pumps. Note that if installing on a vertical surface the motor should always be at the top for obvious reasons.

Shurflo Trail King 7 (20 psi) fitted at the AS service centre today.
The cost was £456 incl. vat and it took them 3 hours and they did remove the old pump (without me asking).

It is much quieter than I expected, even quieter than the submersible.
They fitted the 20psi model and there is quite a bit more pressure than the original submersible. If I switch the pump on, let it pressurise the system, then switch the pump off, there is pressure in the system for water to flow from the kitchen tap for 10 or 15 seconds. Enough to rinse a few cups without even running the pump.

Now the question is, should I get a spare?


Fitted here under the offside rear bench.
