5.3 Topping up the fresh water tank
The filler port for the fresh water tank is located on the outside of the vehicle. Take great care not to
confuse this with the fuel filler port! Before topping up the fresh water tank, ensure
that the “fresh water
tank drain valve” is closed.
(See section 5.6 “ Draining the fresh water tank ”.)

system unusable:
●
When refuelling, do not confuse the fuel filler port with the fresh water filler port.
●
Always lock the fresh water filler port.
●
Only use clean drinking water to top up the fresh water tank.
●
Before topping up with fresh water, ensure that all drain valves are closed.
●
Never use water from the fresh water tank for drinking or for preparing meals or
drinks!
●
Disinfect the fresh water tank regularly with appropriate products from a
specialist dealer.
The fresh water tank is equipped with a sensor so that the fill level can be read out on the control panel.
The fill level is shown as a percentage.
