HOW TO USE YOUR MOTORHOME’S
EQUIPMENT
appliance are detailed later in your handbook.
WARNING: Aerosols and highly flammable
liquids must not be stored in the
compartment behind, or adjacent to, any
gas appliance. Some industrial LPG
appliances operate at high pressure and
require a ‘high pressure’ regulator. This
often has an adjusting handle on it. NEVER
use such a regulator on a motorhome.
Ventilation holes must be clear at all times.
ELECTRICAL CONTROL PANEL
The control panel consists of a gauge, three
switches and two indicator lights.
Gauge
The gauge will normally show the voltage in the
vehicle or auxiliary battery depending on the
position of the AUXNEH change over switch. The
gauge can also show the water level in the
inboard water tank (see Water Switch).
Switches
The three switches are:
Pump
The Pump switch acts as a master switch for the
internal water system. When the switch is on the
internal water pump will provide water for the
sink taps. Should the pump keep cutting in and
out during the night, then turning the pump
switch off will disconnect the 12-volt supply to
the pump. As the external pump works
independently of the pump switch, this can still be
used with the pump switch in the off position.
Water
Pressing and holding the ‘Water’ switch will cause
the gauge to show the water level in the fresh
water tank. Releasing the switch causes the gauge
to return to showing the voltage.
AUX/VEH
When the switch is in the VEH’ position the
motorhome 12-volt system is powered from the
vehicle battery. When it is in the ‘Aux’ position it
is powered from the motorhomes auxiliary
battery or the 12- volt charger/power supply if
the motorhome is connected to a 230volt supply.
It is recommended that the motorhome be used
in the ‘VEH’ position sparingly as prolonged use
without running the engine can flatten the vehicle
battery.
Indicator Lights
There are two indicator lights on the control
panel;
RUN
This is the green indicator light. When the pump
switch is on and the pump is running this light
should be on. When the pump is not running the
light should not be on.
Please Note:
This indicator only works with the
internal pump.
WASTE
This is the red indicator light. When the onboard
waste tank is becoming full and requires emptying
this light will come on. Once the tank is empty
the light will go out.
