SHOWER
The showers have a sliding button on the shower head (picture on the right) to control the water
flow. The water flow can be stopped while taking a shower to save water and space in the grey
water tank.
Troubleshooting: Shower
Problem
Cause/Solution
The water in the shower
does not drain away.
-
The grey water tank is full. Please empty it as soon as possible.
-
The shower drain is clogged up. Please remove any residue blocking the drain.
OUTSIDE SHOWER
Only biodegradable shower gels and shampoos are permitted for outside shower use. These products are
available at outdoor and camping stores. Please consider the environment and follow these rules.
TOILET
CHEMICALS
The use of chemicals in the black water tank prevents clogging and ensures thorough drainage. The chemicals
deodorize and decompose waste. They are available in liquid, powder, and tablet form and should be added
after each time the black water tank has been drained. Drop the chemicals through the toilet along with two
buckets of water or hold the flushing lever of the toilet open with the water pump running for 10 seconds so
the chemicals dissolve and activate.
CAUTION:
Only use biodegradable or 1-layered toilet paper. Do NOT dispose of diapers, hygiene articles, Q-
tips, etc. in the toilet UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! Avoiding this prevents clogging, repairs and
time loss that would be at the renter’s expense.
Troubleshooting: Toilet
Problem
Cause/Solution
The toilet is clogged
up.
-
The black water tank might be full. Please empty it at the dump station of your
campground or a Sani dump.
-
Pour some hot water into the toilet. It will flow to the wastewater tank and should
help dissolve solid waste quickly. It only works if no objects are causing the problem.
WASTEWATER
The camper is equipped with two separate wastewater tanks. The grey water tank holds the wastewater
drained from the sinks and shower. The black water tank holds waste flushed down the toilet. Please use
plenty of water with each flush of the toilet to prevent clogging.
The tank capacities are limited. Tanks must therefore be emptied regularly.
