After draining all the water systems down at the end of the year (as you do) and of course leaving all the drains open I topped up the toilet water flush complete with pink fluids. Last year was a long time ago so I forgot to re-plug the drain tube in the
cassette compartment and managed to fill it with several litres of water.

Mopped out all the water but the pcb got wet and overfill warning came on etc. Removed pcb to airing cupboard and stuck hairdryer in the cassette compartment and all seemed OK until I tried the flush without putting the cassette back. Repeated above procedure.

Then the flush stayed on and had to dash to the master 12 volt switch to turn it off. Sticky contact I guess.

Eventually all was made to work correctly but in terms of work creation, all very unnecessary.

Sometimes caravanning makes me feel (and act) incompetent. Anybody else have this problem at the beginning of the season?
