Water
The motorhome has two separate on-board water tanks, 65 litres for fresh tap water and
70 litres for waste water. This water is exclusively what has gone down the drains of
either the sink or the shower. It does not include the toilet waste - which is completely
separate.
We recommend NOT to drink the fresh water from the tank, unless it has been boiled.
The fresh water is filled through the filler cap located on the
left side of the vehicle at the rear, using the hose supplied.
When full the tank weighs 65kg so you may want to part fill it
to save weight.
Water is electrically pumped from the tank to the taps,
shower and toilet flush. The pump creates a small positive
pressure in the system and then automatically switches off (you may hear a vibration
noise whilst the pump is working).
When any tap is opened, the pressure falls and the pumps runs again until the pressure
is restored when the tap has been turned off.
If the pump seems to be running for a long period of time, this may indicate that a tap is
open, there is a leak in the system, or a fault with the pump. Please check all taps and
visually check underneath the vehicle to see if any water is being dumped via the
overflow valve.
The waste water tank collects water from the sink
and shower drains and is located underneath the
vehicle at the rear on the left. This tank can be
emptied by opening the plastic grey tap, and allow
the water to drain out.
This water should be emptied over a designated
motorhome waste point (usually a grid which you
drive over).
Before leaving a campsite, consider whether the water tanks and toilet need
filling or emptying.
If you neglect emptying the grey water tank you may add up to 70kg of
unnecessary weight to the vehicle, and you may see grey water returning to the
shower tray.
Don’t put hot fat or solid material down the sink drain, as the pipes are narrow
and will block easily.
