What is the white vessel on the right next to the pump for and do I need to do anything with it...........

I can't read the print underneath Whale but i would guess its to bleed air out the system at the low point.

Not sure, but would guess either a surge damper or a pump primer?

BTW 77, was it you who was at Croft with Neil last year when we were testing the Gem?

Found one in my M/H when I was laying it up for the winter. Took it off thinking it was a filter and took it to local caravan dealer for a new one for the new season only to be told it's a surge damper and stops the pump running too much. No need to replace it unless it stops working

First thing I do when I get a motorhome is replace the surge vessel I have never removed one that's not manky inside.
