Bailey Approach - Water System

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
Both your 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 from the waste water is on the
offside of the vehicle near to the skirt, behind
the rear wheel. 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.
Both the fresh and waste water tanks have a
capacity of 100 litres.
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.
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.
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.
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 passenger or driver’s
seat.
However if the vehicle is not being used during
freezing conditions the water must be drained.
Fresh Water Pump
A Whale Watermaster onboard pump is tted
to your vehicle. It will be located under the
hatch in the oor and is accessible through the
fresh water tank hatch.
