It is vital you ensure your vehicle is checked over and ready to go before you get back on the road. Here's our guide
to what you must do to ensure you are ready to go...
Water Systems
- Close off your drain taps for your fresh water tank, waste water tank & hot water boiler
- Refill your toilet flush (if separate to main fresh water tank)
- Refit your strainer to the water pump (if applicable)
- Fill fresh water system, leaving all taps in the open position during this process to push air out
of the pipes; this will help prevent any air locks
- Turn on the water pump & leave running until you have a steady flow of water coming through
Batteries
Reconnect both your engine & leisure batteries before charging them for 24 hours each or taking on a
long drive for approximately one hour.
