Water Services
To completely empty the freshwater tank simply
rotate the drainage tap to the open position and
the tank will empty.
Waste Water Tank
All waste water (excluding the toilet) is piped into
an on board waste water tank located underneath
your vehicle. The volume of the waste water tank
will vary depending on which model you have
chosen.
When the waste tank becomes full (which will be
indicated by a visible and audible signal on the
control panel), the tank should be emptied via the
drain valve on the outside of the vehicle over a
suitable drainage point.
When the 'tank full' indicator sounds there
will still be some capacity in the waste tank,
but we would advise that it is emptied
as soon as possible.
Please note, care should be taken to avoid
foodstuffs entering the waste tank when draining
the kitchen sink as this can cause unpleasant
odours to enter the vehicle via the sink waste.
Fresh Water Tank
Your vehicle has an on board fresh water tank that
allows you to carry fresh water with you on your
journey. This tank supplies all of the water systems
inside your vehicle. The volume of the fresh water
tank will vary depending on which model you have
chosen.
Filling The Fresh Water Tank
The tank is filled via a lockable water inlet on
the outside of your vehicle.
This inlet is identified by a blue tap symbol
adjacent to it (either a blue label or a blue
moulding on the filler itself).
The location of the water inlet will vary from
vehicle to vehicle so please familiarise yourself
with its location before using your vehicle for the
first time.
Before attempting to fill your fresh water tank
please ensure that the cold water drain tap inside
the vehicle is in the closed position (see 'draining
the water system' section).

To Fill
• Remove the cap and insert a suitable length
of pipe.
• Connect the other end to a clean
water supply.
• Fill the tank until either the water level gauge
reads 100%, or until the tank begins
to overflow.
• Remove the hose. Replace the cap, lock and
remove the key.
Please note, use only food or drug
quality pipe.
Water is pumped from the on board tank by a
self priming and cancelling automatic pump
throughout the vehicle.
The pump is fitted with an in-line filter to ensure
trouble free running. This must be cleaned
periodically to ensure that there is no
reduction in flow.
The pump automatically pressurises the water
system to a pre-determined water pressure,
when a tap is opened water flows from it and the
pump switches on to maintain the
pre-determined pressure.
When the tap is switched off the pump will
continue running until the correct pressure in
the system is reached, it will then shut down.
