At least the day before you travel but ideally several days before the trip you should undertake a check of your trailer
and van as follows:
1. Check battery charge – Your trailer or van has a control panel. Once you click the power button the voltage,
charge and amperage draw displays will light up.
As the image above shows the charge of the batteries is 80% and the actual voltage of the batteries is 12.6V. The trailer
is not drawing any amps from the battery. As you start to turn on the internal lights, the fridge or the pumps the
amperage will increase. This indicates that the batteries are being used. You should charge your batteries to full charge
prior to travelling
2. Flush your water tanks – Flush the fresh water and grey water tanks prior to travelling by doing the following:
a. Open the tap or valve at the bottom of each tank to drain any residual water from the last clean or last
trip and then close the tap or valve up.
b. Open the water inlet cap located on the side of the trailer or van and using a hose fill the tanks to full
capacity
c. Then repeat the opening of the tap or valve to empty the clean water out
d. Your tanks are now flushed
