12.1
Water supply
A water tank is fitted in the vehicle as standard. When a water tap is opened, the installed water
pump is switched on when the pump on the control panel is switched on.
Using the water tank:
Thoroughly clean the water tank before starting each journey.
If possible, fill the water tank only just before staying overnight or at the destination of
the journey.
Avoid additional weight.
Fill the water tank with drinking water only.
When the vehicle is placed out of service for an extended period of time or is not heated when
there is a risk of frost, empty, clean and dry the entire water system (Chapter 12.3). Leave the
water taps and drain cocks as well as all drain valves open.
We recommend to check the pipes every 6 months for leaks and to tighten the clamps as well
as the connectors.
The water supply system corresponds to the state of technology (Directive 2002/72/EC).
Warning!
Health hazard
Formation of bacteria and algae in the water tank.
Change the water at regular intervals including the boiler contents (e.g. twice a
week).
After the end of every journey or after 4 weeks at the latest, the
water tank must be drained, cleaned thoroughly and left open (venting).
Thoroughly clean the hoses after the end of each journey.
Use disinfectant for the water tank.
Caution!
Damage to the water pump
Pumps can run hot without water and can be damaged.
Never run pumps when the water tank is empty!
Caution!
Damage to the environment
Never drain tanks (water and waste water) in the open countryside!
Empty tanks only at petrol stations, resting places, disposal stations or camping sites at
the provided places.
Caution!
Damage due to frost
When there is a risk of frost, drain the water system of the vehicle.
