I've now been on my travels for nearly a month and I'm currently lurking in the Lisbon area. I've tried visiting Sintra a few times but if there is a less "motorhome friendly " place on the planet I'd be surprised. Sintra is stunning though so I may return. Lol
So far everything has gone very smoothly and I continue to be delighted with the Hymer. I do have a few minor issues with water management following my initial issue with the boiler trip switch(thanks again to those what sorted me out!)
I don't think my gauges work properly or if they do I've no idea what they are telling me.
My first question is about the waste water drain. Mine flows very slowly (about the speed of a slow tap) and takes a few hours to empty the tank (although I've no idea how full it is in the first place) Is this normal?
This morning I decided to unscrew the large circular hatch under the tank expecting 20 years of "crud" to slosh out but it was totally dry with just a circular polystyrene insert. What lies above that I couldn't see. What if anything should I be doing with this hatch?
I also have an issue with the fresh water. Water appears in the shower tray and I'm not sure from where or why. My guess is the tank has a leak when it's fairly full but I'm not certain. I don't think the water is coming from the taps but it's possible it might be coming in from the outside shower located in the toilet cassette hatch.
If any of this jogs the memory of anyone with Hymer plumbing experienes I'd be grateful for any insights.
Thanks in advance.
