Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I connect and change a gas cylinder?
Ensure you have the correct high-pressure hose for your bottle type and that the sealing washer is present in the connector and fully compressed. Extinguish any ignition sources, position the cylinders securely into the compartment and tighten the retaining straps. Connect the high-pressure hose to the gas cylinder using a suitable tool before opening the cylinder valve.
Q: How do I drain down the water system for winter or storage?
Open the drain valve on the freshwater tank, open the drain valve on the wastewater tank into a suitable container, open and leave all taps inside the vehicle open (mixer taps in the central position), open the drain valve inside the vehicle to empty the water heater and internal pipework, allow the vehicle to drain for five minutes, and then run the pump briefly to ensure it is free of water. Also empty the cassette toilet.
