2.2 Environmental tips

Z Do not impair the tranquility and spruceness of nature.

Z Remember that: All kinds of waste water and household waste are not to be dis-

posed of in drains or in the open countryside.

Z Collect waste water on board only in the waste water tank or, if need be, in other

vessels suitable to this purpose.

Z Only empty the waste water tank and toilet cassette or sewage tank at disposal

stations at the camping or caravan sites, which are especially provided for this

purpose. When stopping in towns and communities, observe the instructions at

caravan sites or ask where there are disposal stations.

Z Empty waste water tank as often as possible, even when it is not completely full

(hygiene).

If possible, flush out waste water tank and, if necessary, drainage pipe with fresh

water every time it is emptied.

Z Never allow the toilet cassette or sewage tank to become too full. Empty the

toilet cassette or sewage tank frequently, at the latest as soon as the level indi-

cator lights up.

Z Separate household waste according to glass, tin cans, plastic and wet waste

also when on a journey. Enquire at the town or community authority about dis-

posal points. Household waste is not to be disposed of in waste paper baskets

which are situated at car parks.

Z Empty waste bins as often as possible into the cans or containers that are pro-

vided for this purpose. This helps to avoid unpleasant smells and an accumula-

tion of rubbish on board.

Z When parked, do not allow the engine of the towing vehicle to run more than

necessary. When running idle, a cold engine releases more contaminants than

usual. The running temperature of the engine is achieved more quickly whilst

the vehicle is in motion.

Z Use an environmentally-friendly WC chemical agent for the WC which can also

be biologically degraded and only use small doses.

Z When staying in towns and communities for longer periods, search for parking

areas which are especially designated for caravans and towing vehicles. Enquire

at the town or community authority about parking spaces.

Z Always leave the parking places in a clean condition.
