The water supply system corresponds
at least to the state of the art as of

• Water that is suitable for drinking should
always be used with working with food. This
also applies to washing your hands and
cleaning the objects that have come into
contact with food.

less, the water should be taken directly from
the public drinking water system.
• Under no circumstances should garden
hoses, watering cans and similar materials

to fill the mobile system.
• If the caravan will not be used for a longer
period of time, the entire water system must
be emptied completely.

system must be rinsed thoroughly before it is
used again. If you find that it is contaminated,
the material should be disinfected using
cleaning agents that are permitted and suit-
