When not in use, the water pump should always be switched off using the button on the control panel;
especially when leaving the vehicle!
With all Fiat floor plans, you can fill the fresh water tank with water canisters via the
emergency water filler neck (see photo). To do so, loosen the flexible hose from
the brackets, pull off the plug and pour the water. For MB this hose is available
depending on the floor plan (depending on the accessibility of the tank inspection
opening through an outer flap).

In M-Line motorhomes, the fresh water hose reel, the water
distributor and the waste water disposal hose are housed in
the central supply compartment.
5.2 Fresh water and waste water
Your motorhome is equipped with two tanks, the filling level of which can be checked on the central control panel. The fresh water
tank is filled from the outside and is frost-proof down to approx. -15°C because it is located in the heated intermediate floor.
•
Always fill with clean drinking water
•
If necessary, add drinking water disinfectant (Micropur, Certisil or Reomin) through the inspection opening
of the fresh water tank. To avoid corrosion on the strainer and on the chain in the tank, make sure that all
additives are compatible with stainless steel
•
If there is a risk of frost, ensure that the motorhome body is adequately heated or drain the system
•
Drain the water from the tank and water hose if it is not used for a longer period (more than 3 days)
•
Clean the water hose, fresh water and waste water tanks regularly
•
Sink, shower and wash basin are supplied with cold and warm water from the fresh water tank via a
pressure pump (maximum uninterrupted operating time of the pressure pump approx. 15 minutes)
•
The fresh water tank has a drain plug in the bottom
•
There is a screw cap in the tank. Turn the cap about a ¾ turn anti-clockwise
- the tank can hold about 20 (for Selection) or 50 litres. If you continue to
turn after overcoming a noticeable resistance, the tank will be emptied.
To fill the tank completely with about 150 litres, turn the cap clockwise until it
stops.
•
Only operate the pressure water pump when the water tank is filled. Running
dry will destroy the pump.
•
The two drain valves of the water pipe can be reached on the water distributor.
