Flue Covers
The Refrigerator and Truma Ultrastore water heater fitted to your vehicle are supplied with flue covers that are designed to keep out water and debris if the vehicle is to be stood unused for any length of time.
The flue covers must be removed before the appliances are used as the covers will stop combustion air entering the appliance and the flue gasses escaping if left in place.
Refrigerator Flue Covers
The type of refrigerator fitted to your vehicle will determine the type of flue cover fitted.
There are two types of fastener; a 90˚ turn button that is operated either with a coin or screwdriver
(fitted to Dometic appliances), or simply a clip-off cover that has two tabs that need to be released, again using a flat screwdriver
(fitted to Thetford appliances).
Replacing the cover is a reversal of the above procedures.
Truma Ultrastore Flue Cover
The Ultrastore water heater flue cover is removed by pulling the bottom of the cover away from the vehicle.
This pulling action will unclip the cover from the bottom and allow it to rotate upwards to be released from the vehicle.
Replacing the cover is a reversal of the above procedure.

Water Services
Fresh Water Tank
Your vehicle has an on board fresh water tank that allows you to carry fresh water with you on your journey. This tank supplies all of the water systems inside your vehicle. The volume of the fresh water tank will vary depending on which model you have chosen.
Water is pumped from the on board tank by a self priming and cancelling automatic pump throughout the vehicle.
The pump is fitted with an in-line filter to ensure trouble free running. This must be cleaned periodically to ensure that there is no reduction in flow.
The pump automatically pressurises the water system to a pre-determined water pressure, when a tap is opened water flows from it and the pump switches on to maintain the pre-determined pressure.
When the tap is switched off the pump will continue running until the correct pressure in the system is reached, it will then shut down.
The pump circuit is controlled by the isolation switch on the control panel. Always switch off the pump at the control panel when leaving the vehicle.
Please note that if the pump runs on for more than 5-10 seconds after you have closed all the taps, it is possible that there could be a leak in the system. This should be checked immediately.

Filling The Fresh Water Tank
The tank is filled via a lockable water inlet on the outside of your vehicle.
This inlet is identified by a blue tap symbol adjacent to it, (either a blue label or a blue moulding on the filler itself).
The location of the water inlet will vary from vehicle to vehicle so please familiarise yourself with its location before using your vehicle for the first time.
Before attempting to fill your fresh water tank please ensure that the cold water drain tap inside the vehicle is in the closed position (see ‘draining the water system’ section).
To Fill
• Remove the cap and insert a suitable length of pipe.
• Connect the other end to a clean water supply.
• Fill the tank until either the water level gauge reads 100%, or until the tank begins to overflow.
• Remove the hose. Replace the cap, lock and remove the key.
Please note, use only food or drug quality pipe.
Waste Water Tank
All waste water (excluding the toilet) is piped into an onboard waste water tank located underneath your vehicle. The volume of the waste water tank will vary depending on which model you have chosen.
When the waste tank becomes full (which will be indicated by a visible and audible signal on control panel), the tank should be emptied via the drain valve on the outside of the vehicle over a suitable drainage point.
When the ‘tank full’ indicator sounds there will still be some capacity in the waste tank, but we would advise that it is emptied as soon as possible.
