Emptying the water system


If the vehicle is not used for several days or if it is not heated when there
is a risk of frost, empty the entire water system. Make sure that the 12 V
power supply on the panel is switched off. Otherwise, the water pump
will overheat and may get damaged. Leave the water taps on in central
position. Leave the safety/drainage valve (if there is one) and all drain
cocks open. Frost damage to appliances, frost damage to the vehicle
and deposits in water-carrying components can be avoided in this way.
To empty and ventilate the water system, proceed as follows. This prevents
frost damage and deposits:

Position the vehicle horizontally.

Switch off 230 V power supply. In order to do this, switch off the 230 V
fuse (see section 11.2.5). The external 230 V connection can remain
connected to charge the batteries.

Switch off the 12 V power supply on the panel.

Shut off the production of hot water (see section 10.2.4).


Open the safety/drainage valve (Fig. 131). To do this, turn the knob
(Fig. 131,1) parallel to the safety/drainage valve. The push button
(Fig. 131,2) jumps out. The open safety/drainage valve is shown
in Fig. 132.

Open the water tank drain (see section 11.2.5).

Open all water taps and set to the central position.

Hang the shower handset up in the shower position.

Hold the water pump up until the water pipes are completely empty.

Check whether the water tank is completely empty.

Blow out the remaining water in the water pipes (max. 0.5 bar). To do
this, remove the pipe from the water pump and blow into the pipe.

Clean the water tank and then rinse it out thoroughly.

Let the water system dry for as long as possible.

After emptying, leave all water taps on in the central position.

Keep the safety/drainage valve open.
