CONNECTION OF SERVICES
Please read and become familiar with
operating instructions for equipment fitted in
your motorhome.
Connection of services are dealt with under
separate headings, Water, Electricity and
Gas.
WATER SYSTEMS
Fresh/Waste Tanks
The fresh and waste water tanks are located
under the floor near the middle of the vehicle.
The drain taps for both tanks are clipped to
the underside of the vehicle on the offside,
with the waste drain being nearer to the rear
of the vehicle.
For capacities of both see the Technical
Specification Section.
The freshwater tank is filled through either
the Whale socket, or the lockable cap, on the
side of the vehicle. A special filler hose is
supplied for use with the Whale socket. Note
that the socket lid must be used to lock the
plug securely into the socket.
All tanks and pipework are manufactured to
food grade material specification.
Breathers
Both tanks are fitted with breathers, which
allow air displacement when filling. When
filling the fresh water tank, water may escape
through these breathers; this should give no
cause for concern.
Frost Precaution
If the vehicle is not being used during
freezing conditions the water must be
drained. If the vehicle is being used in such
conditions, refer to Section 9 for details of the
automatic draining of the heater and use of
the water tank heaters.
FRESH WATER PUMP
A Whale submersible water pump is fitted in
the freshwater tank of your vehicle. This is a
compact, self venting, high flow pump which
is quiet in operation and has a maximum flow
rate of 15.8 litres per minute.
Maintenance
The pump is a sealed unit so no maintenance
is required other than a check as part of the
annual habitation service.
Ensuring the water supply is free of debris
when filling the tank will reduce the likelihood
of pump clog.
Winterising
To protect against damage as a result of
freezing, drain the entire water system.
