Bailey Approach Advance - Connection of Services; Water System Operation and Maintenance

Please read and become familiar with the
operating instructions for the equipment
within your Bailey motorhome.
Connections of services are dealt with under
three separate headings: Water, Gas and
Electricity.
WATER SYSTEM
The Bailey motorhome is tted with a fresh
water supply system and a waste water
system. All water hose used in the system is
WRAS (Water Regulation Advisory Scheme)
approved non-toxic food quality hose.
Fresh and Waste Water Tanks
In Autograph models both fresh and waste
water tanks are positioned under the oor with
the fresh water tank in front of the waste near
to the rear axle. The drain for the fresh water
tank is accessed through a hatch in the oor
of the vehicle and then the plug can be pulled
from the bottom of the tank draining all of
the water. Both tanks have an inspection cap
positioned on the top and accessed through an
internal hatch in the oor of the vehicle.
To empty the waste water tank there is a tap
positioned by the skirt on the offside of the
vehicle behind the rear wheels. Move your
vehicle to a waste water disposal point, open
the tap and allow the water to drain.
On the Advance models there is an onboard
water tank, beside the tank you will nd the
dump valve for when you wish to empty the
tank.
On both models the drain from the waste water
is on the offside of the vehicle near to the skirt,
behind the rear wheel.
In the Autograph models both the fresh and
waste water tanks have a capacity of 100 litres.
The Advance models have a fresh water
tank capacity of 90 litres while the waste is
100litres.
The water level indicator digital display is
mounted within the control panel above the
exterior door. There is an audible alarm when
the fresh water tank is 25% and 75% full
meaning that you are alerted before the tank
runs out of water and also when it is near to
overowing.
Filling the tank Autograph models
Fill the tank through the exterior ller cap
identied with a fresh water label. There is an
overow pipe on top of the fresh water tank.
Water owing from this indicates a full tank as
does the full tank icon on the control panel.
Filling the Tank Advance Models
Fill the tank, by removing the cap, and lling
the system through the exterior ller, which
is identied with the fresh water label on the
exterior wall.
When the system is full, water will overow
from the ller neck.
When a tap is opened, water will ow under
pressure, all the air has to be dispelled from
the water system to enable the pressure
switch to work properly, when the tap is turned
off, the pump will switch off when the required
pressure has been achieved.
Breathers
Both tanks are tted with cleaning lids which
also act as breathers for the water tanks. This
allows for air displacement when lling. When
lling the fresh water tank, water may escape
through these breathers; this should give no
cause for concern.
Bafes
For added stability and driving comfort the
water tanks in your vehicle are tted with
bafes. These bafes stop the water from
owing freely from side to side and creating
uneven weight distribution.
Frost Protection
Your fresh water tank is clad in a polystyrene
insulating jacket that helps to stop the water
from freezing in cold temperatures.
It is also tted with a tank heater which
operates when the temperature drops below
-2°C. Should you wish to turn the tank heater
off you will nd the switch in the front of
the van behind either the passengers or the
driver’s seat.
However, if the vehicle is not being used during
freezing conditions the water must be drained.
