You can also buy cleaning products for your cassette toilet tank but only use products recommended by the toilet maker to avoid damage to the rubber seals. Adding a motorhome water filter Waste water tanks are often underslung and can be into tight spaces underneath the motorhome or campervan. This can mean that they’re an odd shape so they may need you to make sure the vehicle is level to drain them. Some motorhomes use jubilee clips to secure water pipes to the barbed fittings of taps and ancillaries, but most modern models use semi-rigid hose and push-fit connectors.

These are similar to some domestic systems and the semi-rigid hose push-fits into the end of the connectors and appliances (it can be easily removed by pushing the collet in). Most motorhomes (and many campervans) have a fixed fresh water tank onboard that’s filled up by physically moving the vehicle to within a hosepipe-filling length of a water tap. The fresh water tank is connected to a pump and series of hoses and taps, as well as feeding the hot water tank (often built into the heating system with a Truma Combi unit). Most modern motorhomes have temperature-activated valves that automatically drain off the water tank and hot water tank in cold conditions. These work well, but don’t get into the habit of relying on them.

You can also buy air bleed valves that allow you to evacuate all water out of the system using compressed air. Remember to remove any water filter system parts over winter, too. While most water tanks are rectangular, they can be any shape to fit in a certain space and firms such as Cak Tanks can make a tank in almost any shape or size.

Most motorhomes use one of two kinds of water pump. Pressure-activated pumps are switched on when their pressure sensor detects a drop in water pressure when a tap is opened or the loo flushed. These are often external to the fresh water tank and the pressure sensor is adjustable. All the pipes will be food-grade plastic and are blue or red tubing, denoting cold and hot respectively, or clear piping striped with red or blue flashes. Home composting – we sell low-cost compost bins, find out about ways to compost and how to buy a bin.Do not put your bags in wheelie bins. They will not be collected for health and safety reasons. We collect from ordinary dustbins if the waste is bagged. Filters must be changed regularly so make sure you fit the filter where it is easily accessible and know the cost of replacement filters before you invest in a system. Some display panels indicate water level via a series of LEDs, some use a separate analogue gauge, while others have digital displays. All wheeled bins are emptied mechanically into the waste collection vehicle. It is the householder's responsibility to ensure that waste is not overly compacted or frozen in the wheeled bin to ensure that the waste falls out into the vehicle.
