The drain valve for the freshwater tank is located under the vehicle body
behind the right hand side rear wheel arch. The freshwater system and
water heating system can be emptied using the drain taps situated under
the unit. For this the pump should be off, the taps in the kitchen and
shower should be open and the shower hose should be placed on the
shower floor. Furthermore to complete the emptying undo the red wing nut
on the regulator housing of the water heater completely.
The waste water is collected in an under floor tank which also handles
about 70 litres. The water is emptied by opening the drain tap.
When you drain the water system observe any environmental laws. On the
campsite observe the rules and regulations.
To prevent freezing of waste water in waste water tank then a sufficient
quantity of salt should be added and also ensure timely emptying.
Should the water in the tank freeze, the tank will not be damaged.
Gas Supply
The two 5kg gas bottles are accessed by opening the rear side vehicle door
and removing the sheet metal cover. The fridge, cooker, heater and water
heater are connected to the gas supply.
The correct installation of the gas system is confirmed by the enclosed
inspection certificate.
Every two years the gas system needs to be checked by an authorised
specialist and a new certificate will be issued.
The certificate needs to be presented with the vehicle when it is being
submitted for the TUV test.
Water Heater
The water heater is powered by gas and turns on automatically when then
the hot water tap in the kitchen or shower is switched on.
The heater is accessed by opening the vehicles rear doors.
