8.1 Water supply
Function of the water supply
Water is provided to the kitchen and toilet area via an immersion
pump. The immersion pump functions on electricity:
- via a 12 volt automobile battery if the caravan is connected via a
plug to the base vehicle,
- via a transformer if the caravan is connected to the 230 volt main.
Rules for the immersion pump:
• The immersion pump is only suitable for water.
• The immersion pump tolerates temperatures up to 60° C for a
short time.
• Avoid dry runs.
• Protect the pump from freezing.
• Hard blows or hits as well as very dirty water can destroy the
pump.
General information
• Water that is suitable for drinking should always be used with
working with food. This also applies to washing your hands and
cleaning the objects that have come into contact with food.
• To ensure that the quality of the water is faultless, the water
should be taken directly from the public drinking water system.
• Under no circumstances should garden
hoses, watering cans and similar materials that are unsuitable
for drinking water be used to ll the mobile system.
• If the caravan will not be used for a longer period of time, the
entire water system must be emptied completely.
• After long periods of stagnation, the water system must be
rinsed thoroughly before it is used again. If you nd that it is
contaminated, the material should be disinfected using
cleaning agents that are permitted and suit-able.

j
can be pushed under the vehicle
when parked; it collects waste water. It has a 24 liter capacity. The
waste water tank can be transported with a fold-out transport handle
to dispose of the contents at the desig-nated stations.
During the trip, the waste water
k
tank can be stored in the gas-
