Do not put your bags in wheelie bins. They will not be collected for health and safety reasons. We collect from ordinary dustbins if the waste is bagged. 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.

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). 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. The best method of installing water tanks is to sandwich them between a heated double floor system and this is the method employed by most high-end motorhome manufacturers. It eliminates most freezing issues and protects the tanks from road debris. Filling a motorhome fresh water tank

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. 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 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.

All wheeled bins are emptied mechanically into the waste collection vehicle. It is the householder's responsibility to ensure that waste is not overly compacted or frozen in the wheeled bin to ensure that the waste falls out into the vehicle. Any plumbing that runs externally should be insulated. This isn’t always the case with waste water plumbing but this is not a major issue as external insulation is easy to add. What types of motorhome water pumps are there?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. Bacteria, films and moulds need heat and moisture to thrive so, if the tank is dry, it reduces their build up. 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. Most modern motorhomes have temperature-activated valves that automatically drain off the water tank and hot water tank in cold conditions. These work well, but don’t get into the habit of relying on them. Equally, if you use your motorhome all year around and love skiing in the winter, then you’ll have different needs to those who simply like to amble around the south of France in August.
