Hi All
We our now the proud owner of our first Motorhome. We are also the confused owners of there first Motorhome. The post will have some pic to try and help.
Buy pushing buttons we can see that the water tank is 75% Full.
When we try the taps toilet nothing. There are 3 switches one showing a little tap. When we switch this on water comes out of tap slowly. But we have realised it comes out from underneath (dumping it) at same time. Turn pump off and no water out of taps?
So how do we stop it dumping water? Is it a button we've pushed or is there a valve some where?
We will ring the seller tomorrow but just wondering if someone could help?

There will be a dump valve somewhere close to where the water is coming out is my guess.

I think there are a couple of types now but it should be quite self explanatory to reset.

Innkeeper. I would image the frost stat valve is open. On our MoHo the valve sits close to the water heater. I had exactly the same symptoms as you describe after I refilled the system following the winter. I did turn of the frost stat valve before filling to rinse the system through, but inadvertently knock the valve on by mistake without realising, it took ages to find out what I'd done.

Right will have a look tomorrow. It's fun in away ever time we resolve a problem the next one pops up. We our stay in the van on our carpark for the next few nights. To find all the little snags. We will then have a few nights away and see how we get on.
But thanks for the help and replies

There are several different valves. The difficulty is finding them. My handbook showed the valve and how to operate it, but not where it was. Took ages to find it.
Open large storage drawer under sink, near the floor was a shelf, remove jars of curry sauce etc and found a hole in the shelf. Stick finger in hole and shelf lifts out and theres the valve. Of course yours will be somewhere else but this is just to illustrate that it may not be obvious.

The valve will be directly above where water is pouring out of outside.
