Product Information

You can dispose of your old large electrical items at one of the county’s recycling centres or smaller items at a local recycling bank. To sterilise your water system, you can add a cleaning agent to your water tank – such as Puriclean – and then open up each water tap or shower head in turn to flush it through. Start with the tap furthest away from the tank and leave the fluid in the system overnight before flushing it out with fresh water. It’s a good idea to take the vehicle for a drive so that the sterilising fluid can slosh into every corner of the water system. We all need to do our bit, and these recycling bins make sure you don’t forget. We’ve got some smart designs for keeping your food, metal, glass and general waste separate, so all you need to do is put them in their proper outside bins when they get full.

The other common type of water pump is one triggered by on/off microswitches located in each tap. These can be either mounted externally near the water tank or submersed in the tank itself. Solvent weld a 43mm waste pipe to traps from the sink, shower, washer or more, to create secure wastage systems. Be sure to make sure your pipe size is the same as that of your sink waste trap to avoid any nasty leaks. 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.

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 Any hose that runs from the tap to the motorhome ideally needs to be food-grade to avoid any plastic leaching into the water tank. Some people fill up their water tank with a garden hose pipe, which is less than ideal (definitely don’t drink it). 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. Water pumps are generally reliable, but the microswitches on the taps can fail. If the water pump works on the kitchen tap, but not on the washroom basin, then it suggests the washroom tap has failed or has a wiring issue.

A typical coachbuilt motorhome and larger campervan will have a fresh water tank inside the habitation area – often under the rear travel seats – where it can be centrally located for weight distribution and proximity to all the taps. The closer the water tank is to the taps, the less plumbing and connection points are needed.

Ensure that your bin lid is closed as we will not remove additional waste that forces the bin open and your bin will not be emptied Trees should be left at the side of the green bin on your first green waste collection day after Christmas. The Council will collect one real tree per household, up to 6ft in height and 10cm trunk diameter. Compost Bins Read the owner’s manual for the correct winter drain-down procedure. Most involve opening the drain valve in the fresh water tank and the waste water tank, as well as opening up all the sink taps and shower taps. Then run the water pump until your hear it running dry (then switch it off immediately). By far the most popular choice for kitchen bins is the pedal bin . The fact that it opens hands-free means you can use both hands to scrape the contents of plates and chopping boards straight in there, without touching the lid. Because it’s such a popular concept, there are dozens of styles to choose from, so there’s bound to be one that matches the style of your kitchen. The steel ones are particularly fashionable, a tough bin that also looks modern. However, metal pedal bins of all types remain kitchen staples. Chrome looks great anywhere, and brushed metal often goes well with the rest of the kitchen’s hardware like hobs and grills. But of course, metal bins also come painted in every colour of the rainbow, and also in printed effects like marble, if that’s your style.

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).The placement of the water tank depends upon the size of the vehicle, its layout and axle load limits. Double pedal bins are really handy for separating your recycling – put your cardboard in one and glass in the other, and you’ll save yourself a job later, and never forget to split your rubbish.

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. Measuring the level of fluid in a tank is a challenge and makers use a variety of systems to achieve this. These range from simple float devices that can vary their resistance as the water level changes, to individual prongs of different lengths that sense when they’re immersed in water. Some systems also have a couple of studs bolted to the side of a waste water tank to indicate when it needs emptying.

If you only have a smaller campervan without a shower, then your water requirements will be quite low and a removable tank of around 20 litres may suffice. Removable tanks are easier to clean and fill up. In winter they can be removed to reduce the chance of freezing. Even if the tank drain valve has emptied the water tanks that doesn’t mean the motorhome is fully frost protected – any part of the system where water can be trapped (between the water pump and kitchen tap) can cause an issue. As water freezes it expands and can split the housing it is contained in. Water sat in a tank will smell if left for long periods, so always drain it down over winter lay-up. Slimy residues also build up in standing water and these need to be cleaned off at the start of the season. Most water tanks have large inspection hatches for this purpose. Waste collections may be affected by many things which include access issues, resource issues and adverse weather.
