Flue Covers
The Refrigerator and Truma Ultrastore water
heater fitted to your vehicle are supplied with flue
covers that are designed to keep out water and
debris if the vehicle is to be stood unused for any
length of time.
The flue covers must be removed before the
appliances are used as the covers will stop
combustion air entering the appliance and
the flue gasses escaping if left in place.
Refrigerator Flue Covers
The type of refrigerator fitted to your vehicle will
determine the type of flue cover fitted.
There are two types of fastener; a 90˚ turn button
that is operated either with a coin or screwdriver
(fitted to Dometic appliances), or simply a
clip-off cover that has two tabs that need to
be released, again using a flat screwdriver
(fitted to Thetford appliances).
Replacing the cover is a reversal of the
above procedures.
Truma Ultrastore Flue Cover
The Ultrastore water heater flue cover is
removed by pulling the bottom of the cover
away from the vehicle.
This pulling action will unclip the cover from
the bottom and allow it to rotate upwards to
be released from the vehicle.
Replacing the cover is a reversal of the
above procedure.
Water Services
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.
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.
The pump circuit is controlled by the isolation
switch on the control panel.
Always switch off
the pump at the control panel when leaving
the vehicle.
Please note that if the pump runs on for
more than 5-10 seconds after you have
closed all the taps, it is possible that there
could be a leak in the system. This should
be checked immediately.
