6. MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
Water systems
Most problems can be greatly minimized, if not entirely
eliminated, by following a careful inspection and maintenance
schedule. Omitting to follow the appropriate maintenance
procedures is usually the cause of water system problems and
is easily recognizable.
In addition to neglectfulness, the vibrations and shocks caused
by driving, as well as the excessive pressure of certain city sources,
are the other main causes of damages to the water system.
It is therefore important to check all the plumbing joints and
connections frequently to make sure there are no cracks or
leaks. A water leak from a plumbing joint can cause considerable
damage if the problem is not corrected.
One must suspect a leak in the fresh water system if the pump
is working but all the faucets and valves are turned off. Once
the connection with the leak has been identified, try to stop
the leak by tightening the connection. DO NOT over-tighten.
Plastic connections rarely require tightening using a wrench. If
the connections still have leaks after tightening by hand, remove
the connection and check for dirt, debris, or other foreign objects
that might obstruct a proper connection and cause the leak. Clean
the connection carefully, then reinstall it. If the leak persists, cut
the water supply until the connection has been properly replaced.
See your dealer for spare parts and the appropriate replacement
procedure. Appropriate plumbing system winterization measures
are usually all that is necessary to prevent damages caused by ice.
Ice can damage the system components, particularly the water
tank, pump, water heater, and all the pipes.
Also discuss additional precautionary measures with your dealer
regarding the winterization of your trailer’s plumbing system.
Because of differences in climate, your maintenance needs may
change from area to area.
Read the documents provided with the plumbing components,
such as the pump, for troubleshooting tips.
Remember that it is possible an electrical problem may be at
the root of problems in the water system. A loss of electrical
current to the pump may be explained in several ways. If you are
not sure about how to identify or repair a plumbing problem,
it is recommended you have the work done by your dealer or a
qualified plumber.
Windows and roof air vent
Make sure the windows and roof air vent are well closed when you
are on the road. An opening can help create a negative pressure,
which can in turn create suction and pull in water from the outside
through the windows, air vent, or doors.
When storing your trailer for the winter, make sure the roof air
vent and windows are well shut.
Outer fiberglass shell
We invite you to use a soft detergent specially designed for RV’s
to clean your Helio. Follow the instructions on the bottle for the
right product/water ratio. If you use too much soap, this may
leave residue on the surface. It is recommended to use a brush
with a telescoping handle and short and abundant hairs to retain
soapy water.
Do not wash the outside of the trailer with high pressure water
jets, as this may damage the printing.
