Main Control Panel

This is located to the right of the sink. To use, flick switch down to the two lines (left hand switch on ‘autohaus’ control panel). Below this (from left to right) is the thermostat, then a small blinking red light that when pressed will become red and switch the van heating on for 1 hour. If you wish to put the heating on permanently you will find the switch located behind the control panel inside the cupboard (ALL HEATING RUNS OFF OF DIESEL). The next switch is for the over hob lights, then the lights above the door, followed by the cupboard light.

By flicking the switch to the two lines the water will automatically be working, however there is a ON/OFF switch for water on the control panel (this is the ‘Pump’ Switch). The tap does NOT swivel it just pops up and down. Below this are two 240V plug sockets (these will only work via electric hookup) and 1 12V socket (that will work off the battery).
