Please note that if the pump runs on for
more than 5-10 seconds after you have
closed all the taps, it is possible that
there could be a leak in the system.
This should be checked immediately.
Filling The Fresh Water Tank
The tank is filled via a lockable water inlet on
the outside of your vehicle.
This inlet is identified by a blue tap symbol
adjacent to it (either a blue label or a blue
moulding on the filler itself).
The location of the water inlet will vary from
vehicle to vehicle so please familiarise yourself
with its location before using your vehicle for the
first time.
Before attempting to fill your fresh water tank
please ensure that the cold water drain tap inside
the vehicle is in the closed position (see ‘draining
the water system’ section).
To Fill
• Remove the cap and insert a suitable length
of pipe.
• Connect the other end to a clean
water supply.
• Fill the tank until either the water level gauge
reads 100%, or until the tank begins
to overflow.
• Remove the hose. Replace the cap, lock and
remove the key.
Please note, use only food or drug
quality pipe.
Emptying the fresh water tank
Your freshwater tank will have at least one
drainage tap located outside your vehicle
(depending on the model it could have two
drainage taps fitted – see “travel drain”
section below).
To completely empty the freshwater tank simply
rotate the drainage tap to the open position and
the tank will empty.
Travel Drain
Your vehicle may be fitted with a “travel drain”
system. This secondary drain tap (which will
be clearly labelled) allows you to empty the
freshwater tank to a predetermined level
(nominally 20 litres).
Emptying the tank to this level gives you the
capacity to carry additional equipment to your
destination where that tank can be ‘topped up’ to
its full capacity. If you chose not to use this feature
then the tank can be filled to its ‘full’ capacity but
you must adjust your carrying capacity accordingly
to ensure the vehicle is not overloaded.
Waste Water Tank
All waste water (excluding the toilet) is piped into
an onboard waste water tank located underneath
your vehicle. The volume of the waste water tank
will vary depending on which model you have
chosen.
When the waste tank becomes full (which will be
indicated by a visible and audible signal on the
control panel), the tank should be emptied via the
drain valve on the outside of the vehicle over a
suitable drainage point.
When the ‘tank full’ indicator sounds there
will still be some capacity in the waste tank,
but we would advise that it is emptied
as soon as possible.
