Step‑by‑step: how to use the motorhome service point
Follow this simple sequence to keep everything clean and efficient.
Position your vehicle
- Approach the service area slowly, aligning your waste outlet over the grey‑water drain. Engage the handbrake and switch off the engine.
Prep for hygiene and safety
- Put on gloves before handling any hoses, valves, or cassettes.
Drain grey water first
- Open your grey‑water valve carefully and let it drain completely.
- When finished, close the valve securely. If you notice splashes, use a little water and a cloth to leave the area tidy.
Empty your chemical toilet cassette (black water)
- Remove the cassette from your vehicle.
- Use the automated cassette‑emptying machine on site. Follow the on‑screen or posted instructions to empty and rinse the cassette hygienically.
- When complete, reseal the cassette and return it to your motorhome.
Refill fresh water
- Use only your fresh‑water‑dedicated hose. Avoid contact between the hose end and any surfaces.
- Run a brief flush, then connect and fill your fresh‑water tank to the desired level.
- Disconnect and cap the hose to keep it clean.
Final tidy‑up
- Wipe up any drips, stow your gear, and dispose of gloves responsibly.
Clear the bay promptly
- Move your vehicle once you’re done so other guests can use the service point without waiting.
