I noticed that on this video that the handbrake only went half way and not fully vertical, is that ok as I'm new to caravaning and have the same model of caravan and I'm not sure if the hand brake should be as show in the video or in the vertical position as it sometimes does on my van?
Thank you sooo so much. You were so clear and direct. Hopefully when I remove everything from ours it will look the sane and be just as straight forward.
This is just about the clearest, waffle free instructional video I've ever watched on U-Tube. Absolutely no wasted words, ums or arrs. Excellent video and much better explanation the the Thetford manual that came with the the unit. Thank You very much whoever you are.
Regarding reversing backwards onto levelling ramp. You should always pull the caravan forwards onto the levelling ramp, this is because when the caravan wheels rotate backwards the automatic reverse function is activated automatically on the caravan you have. This would leave the caravan in a state that the caravan brakes will not work as effectively straight away as they should do. Also the piston inside the rubber boot on the hitch is likely to be compressed, which could cause bumper damage when unhitched as the piston returns out. Any reverse manoeuvre should ALWAYS be finished by pulling the caravan forwards a rotation of the wheel before un coupling. This is so the automatic brake release function is reset. This is the best practice advice given by the caravan and motor home club and Camping and Caravanning Club. A motor home however would be reversed onto the levelling ramp for ease of driving off if the ground was wet / damp in the mornings. Which I suspect is your reasoning for reversing up the levelling ramp. Keep up the good work in helping others enjoy their caravanning.
This is how instructional videos should be, exactly like this just straight to the point and no fluffy b.s, you have answered all my questions in one short sharp swoop, thank you so much, I’m just going through all the functions of our new to us used caravan, please make more videos on whatever, I’m sure someone will be as impressed as I am, 😊

Great video. Just a small question. I have the same CS200(CS) system but cannot add the flush liquid to the system via a seperate compartment. Is this an extra feature you made yourself or is this the difference between C and CS?
