3.7 Water system

X Only allow qualified personnel to work on the electrical system.

X The electrical system of the caravan should be viewed and tested by a com-

petent electrician preferably at least every three years. If the caravan is used

often, annually. The electrician should then issue a report on the state of the

electrical system.

X Prior to carrying out work on the electrical system, switch off all devices and

lights, disconnect the battery and disconnect the vehicle from the mains.

X Only use original fuses with the stipulated values.

X Only replace defective fuses when the cause of the defect is known and has

been remedied.

X Never bridge or repair fuses.

X Water left standing in the water tank or in the water pipes becomes undrink-

able after a short period. Therefore, before each use of the vehicle, thor-

oughly clean the water pipes and the water tank. After each use of the

vehicle completely empty the water tank and the water pipes.

X In case of lay-ups lasting more than a week, disinfect the water system before

using the vehicle.

Z 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. Leave the water taps on in central posi-

tion. Leave the safety/drainage valve (if available) and all drain cocks open. Frost

damage to appliances, frost damage to the vehicle and deposits in water-car-

rying components can be avoided in this way.
