Drive, Drain, Refill: A Step-By-Step Guide to Camping Salatà’s Motorhome Service Point

New to using a motorhome service point? This guide walks you through Camping Salatà’s motorhome service point so you can arrive, drain wastewater, empty your cassette, and refill fresh water quickly, cleanly, and confidently. Located in Roses on the Costa Brava, the campsite provides a dedicated service area plus well-equipped pitches—making arrivals and departures smooth for touring guests.

What the motorhome service point offers

At Camping Salatà, the dedicated motorhome service point is designed for convenience and hygiene. You can:

• Empty wastewater (grey water) at a dedicated drain.
• Dispose of your chemical toilet cassette using an on-site automated cassette-emptying machine for clean, hands-free handling.
• Refill fresh water at the campsite’s supply point.

For longer stays, many pitches also include on-pitch water connections and wastewater drainage, plus 16‑amp electricity. Some pitches additionally feature gas and TV connections.

Pack the right kit

• Hose adapters that match your vehicle fittings
• Microfibre cloths or paper towels for quick wipe‑downs

Step‑by‑step: how to use the motorhome service point

Follow this simple sequence to keep everything clean and efficient.

1. 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.

2. Prep for hygiene and safety

   • Put on gloves before handling any hoses, valves, or cassettes.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Final tidy‑up

   • Wipe up any drips, stow your gear, and dispose of gloves responsibly.

7. Clear the bay promptly

   • Move your vehicle once you’re done so other guests can use the service point without waiting.
