It should be emptied either directly, or via
a waste water container (not supplied)
into a designated waste water area.
Fresh Water Tank
Your motorhome is fitted with a water tank
filled from the outside via a lockable water
filler cap. When filling, use a hose
manufactured from non toxic material, to
prevent tainting of the water. Remember, if
the water heater has been drained it will
require two gallons of water to fill it. To do
this open all hot water taps (except shower)
until water comes from the taps. Top up fresh
water tank after priming the water system.
Please ensure all taps are fully turned off
when not in use.
We recommend the use of Milton 2 sterilising
fluid for cleaning and sterilising the water
tank and system.
An explanatory leaflet is available from:
The Milton Food Hygiene Advisory Service,
Whitehall Lane, Egham, Surrey, TW20 9NW.

Waste water system
(i) The waste water holding tank is secured
underneath the chassis of your
motorhome and is gravity fed.
(ii) In order to eliminate unpleasant odours
as much as possible, only smooth bore
pipes are used. These are fitted with
waste traps under the floor which should
be cleaned periodically by unscrewing
the lid and flushing with clean water.
However, should the waste water tank
be overfilled, then the waste water will
backfill the drain pipes until it eventually
appears in the shower base. In order to
prevent this, please take note of part (iii).
(iii) The waste water gauge shows when the
tank is full, not progressively and it is,
therefore, recommended that the waste
water tank is emptied on a daily basis.
This is done by opening the valve
located just beneath the side or rear
panel on the exterior of the motorhome.
