Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the electric rear step work?

A button by the entry door controls it - press once to send it out, press again to bring it back in. Starting the engine retracts it automatically, with a short buzzer as warning; if something's blocking it or it fails to retract, that buzzer carries on sounding until the fault's cleared. It's usually tied to the remote locking too - unlock the doors and it comes out, lock them and it goes back in - though your dealer can disable that link if you prefer.

Check whether the blown fuse is a standard or a mini blade fuse (mini ones are roughly half the size), then choose the matching kit:

This fault doesn't say which fuse rating has blown, only to replace it like-for-like. Both kits cover the common ratings (5A-30A) - match the rating printed on the blown fuse.

Reverse polarity warning light is illuminated on the PSU
—This light is designed to catch a reversed/crossed live and neutral supply on UK-wired sites - if it comes on, suspect a fault with the site's own supply, or its connecting cable (outside the UK it can light up with no actual fault present, so check with the site warden). It can also light up quite normally when running from certain generators, since some centre-tap their earth connection rather than earthing the neutral directly, leaving both conductors roughly 110V above earth - usually still safe to keep using in that case, but check the generator's own handbook.DIY Check / Tech Fallback
N/A
Control Panel has no display
—The screen's backlight might have simply turned itself off - tap select to wake it again. If that's not it, work through the batteries and fuses, confirm both the shutdown switch and the charger switch on the PSU are set to on, and that mains is plugged in. Also check the lead running between the PSU and the back of the panel. Still nothing? Get in touch with your dealer.DIY Check / Tech Fallback

Only if your leisure battery needs replacing - check the size, type and terminal layout of the one fitted now, and that your charger supports it, before ordering:

Leisure batteries vary by vehicle (size, capacity and type - lead-acid, AGM, EFB or lithium). This is a widely used 100Ah EFB battery, not a documented exact match for your vehicle.

N/A
Control panel display is corrupt or behaves erratically
—The control panel's own software may have crashed. Reboot it either by switching off the PSU charger and pulling fuses 1 and 2 (the two 20A fuses covering the leisure and vehicle batteries), waiting 30 seconds, then refitting them and switching the charger back on - or by removing the control panel's bezel (pull down at the bottom centre), unplugging its multi-way connector, waiting 30 seconds, then reconnecting and reassembling.DIY Safe

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the refrigerator need a winter cover?

If you're using it when the outside temperature drops below 10°C, yes - fit the winter cover (supplied) to stop the cold air affecting performance. Take it off again once temperatures climb back above 10°C, or the fridge won't cool as well.

N/A
Water pump will not run (Water system)
—Make sure the plug and socket contacts are clean and seated properly, and check the wiring connections.DIY Safe
N/A
The water pump switches on and off even with the tap shut (Water system)
—Look for air or water leaks at the taps and pipework, and readjust the pressure switch.DIY Safe
N/A
The water pump motor keeps running continuously and won't stop (Water system)
—Confirm the container actually has water in it - a battery reading below roughly 10.5V can also be the cause. Adjust the pressure switch and/or recharge the battery, and check every pipework connection. A Whale Tiptoe Pump, fitted in-line alongside the submersible pump, can serve as a manual backup.DIY Safe
N/A
Water pump doesn't switch off when taps are closed, or pulses on/off when taps are fully open (Water system)
—To readjust the pressure switch: with the system fully primed and every tap shut, wind the screw clockwise, in a right-hand direction, until the pump kicks in; open whichever tap sits furthest away and let it run smoothly, then shut it; slowly back the screw off anti-clockwise until the pump cuts out, then continue a further half-turn (180 degrees); finally check every tap individually operates correctly.DIY Safe
N/A
Water pump runs continuously even with taps closed (Water system)
Present voltage is significantly lower than when last adjusted, or the water container is empty - risk of pump failure and a flat batteryRe-adjust the pressure switch or refill the water container.DIY Safe
N/A
The water pump won't run at all, even though the fuse is intact and connections are sound (Water system)
This is most often down to the pump having run continuously for too long.Replace the pump and readjust the pressure switch.DIY Safe

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I winterise the water system before storing the vehicle for winter?

Open the drain valve next to the water heater, and leave the fresh and waste water tank drain taps open too. Open every internal tap, then run the pump until it stops delivering anything. Go for a short spin with those drain taps still open - it helps shift the last of the water out of the tanks and pipework. Pull the sink plugs so the system can breathe, give the waste tank a thorough flush to shift any debris, finish with a flush of mild disinfectant, and leave the drain tap open.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I lock the Tiptoe pump away when it's not in use?

Push the plunger fully down and twist it clockwise - it locks flush with the floor. To use it again, twist the plunger anti-clockwise to release it, then pump with your foot: harder for full flow, gently for a more controlled flow.

Q: Can the Tiptoe pump be used as a backup for an electric water pump?

Yes, as long as the system isn't pressurised - fit the Tiptoe pump between the inline electric pump and the water supply so it can act as a manual backup if the electric pump fails.

Q: What does the Whale Superfil pump kit do?

If you have a Whale Easi-Slide socket with a 12V connection, the Superfil kit lets you pump water into your onboard tank from an external container such as an Aquaroll or jerry can - so running out of water doesn't mean packing up to drive to the nearest tap.

Q: Which is better - a submersible pump or a pressure pump?

It depends what you need. Whale's submersible pumps are simple, compact, quiet and inexpensive, and come in three flow rates: standard (10.3 litres/min), premium (13.2 litres/min) and high (15.8 litres/min). The Watermaster Onboard pressure pump (8 litres/min) is fitted inside the vehicle and gives a smooth, steady flow; it has its own built-in pressure switch, can run dry without damage, and is built to last.

Q: Is a submersible pump quieter than a pressure pump?

Yes. A submersible pump is a centrifugal design with an impeller as its only moving part, so it runs very quietly. A pressure pump is simple to fit and very dependable, but it's noisier.

Q: When would I need a pressure switch or a surge damper?

A Whale pressure switch is for vehicles fitted with a submersible pump: it senses the drop in water pressure when a tap is opened and turns the pump on. Because it works with any tap, you aren't restricted to taps with built-in microswitches.
