8. 240-volt electrical system

To run the microwave, power points, air conditioner, and to recharge the house battery, connect the motorhome's 15AMP electricity cord to a 240-volt external power source. These devices will only work when connected to 240-volt power. It is recommended that every second night the vehicle is charged at a powered outlet to keep batteries charged.

To use the 240-volt electrical system:

1. Connect the motorhome's 15AMP electrical cord to a 240-volt external power source at a caravan park.

Circuit breakers: The 240-volt outlets and appliances are protected by two circuit breakers located outside the motorhome. If a power surge trips the circuit breakers, locate them outside and switch back to the ON/UP position. Overloading the system (e.g. using the air conditioner and microwave at the same time) can cause circuit breakers to trip.

Troubleshooting: If experiencing difficulty charging the vehicle:

1. Ensure the power point at the caravan park is in working order.
2. Unplug the van from the powered outlet.
3. Attach an alternative device (mobile phone, toaster, etc.) into the power lead on the van and check the lead is working.
4. Plug the device directly into the powered outlet at the caravan park.
5. If there is an issue with the powered outlet, inform caravan park staff.

12-Volt Electrical System

The motorhome has three batteries - one in the engine compartment and two in the rear of the cabin (the auxiliary batteries). The engine compartment battery is located under the passenger's side cabin floor in the main driver's cabin.

The auxiliary battery operates the TV, water pump, fridge, and interior lights. It is charged by both the alternator when the vehicle is being driven and by the 240-volt system when plugged into mains power.

The 12-volt electrical panel is located on the side wall as you enter the motorhome. To turn it on, hold down the red power button for approximately 3 seconds until information appears on the screen on the left-hand side of the panel. This panel operates the water pump and lights and must be turned on at all times to operate any device on the 12-volt system.
 

10. Microwave

The microwave operates via 240-volt power only. The vehicle must be plugged into a powered site at a caravan park or campground.

Do not put the following in the microwave:

• Paper bags (except purpose-designed microwave bags such as popcorn bags)
• Aluminium foil
• Dishes with metal rims
• Plastic containers
• Wire ties from bread and metal utensils
• Styrofoam plates and cups
• Glass jars

Safe to use in the microwave:

• Microwave-approved glass, ceramic plates, and bowls
• Microwave browning dishes
• Microwave plastic wrap, wax paper, paper towel, and napkins
• Paper plates and cups

Troubleshooting:

• Microwave has no display: 240-volt power is not plugged in. Check the vehicle is connected to mains power and the powered outlet is working.
• Microwave has power but is not heating food: Microwave may be broken. Call the JUCY on roads team for assistance.
• Sparks or arcing when microwave is turned on: A metal object is in the microwave.

11. Fresh water tank and access

The vehicle has an onboard freshwater system consisting of a water pump and freshwater tank. The water tank has a 120L capacity and is located on the passenger side of the vehicle. This water is for the sink, shower, and toilet flush. Fill up as often as possible.

 

To access fresh water from the sink, lift the lever on the tap.

NOTE: You can check the water level on the 12-volt switchboard. You must manually empty the grey water tank by connecting the grey water hose to the grey water outlet.
 

12. Greywater Tank

The grey water holding tank collects wastewater from the kitchen, bathroom sink, and shower. You can check the level on the 12-volt switchboard - this is the first tank level on the control panel. 

NOTE: the grey water level indicator may give an inaccurate reading and show 100% even when empty. Empty the grey water tank as regularly as possible.

To empty the grey water tank:

1. Collect the grey water hose from the storage compartment.
2. Connect the hose to the outlet. Make sure it is firmly attached by pulling down the silver levers on each side of the attachment.
   
   
    
3. Place the other end of the hose into the dump station disposal opening.
4. Open the tank by turning the red lever towards you so it is parallel with the pipe. Wait for it to empty.
5. Once the grey water is empty, close the lever, remove the hose, and stow it away in the storage compartment.

13. Water Pump

To use water on board the vehicle, ensure there is water in the freshwater tank. On the switchboard, press the PUMP symbol once. You will hear the pump quietly start up. The pump operates as part of the 12-volt system. When you are not using the water pump, ensure it is turned off.

The water pump must be on to operate the kitchen tap, shower, and toilet flush.

NOTE: Avoid running the pump when the water tank is empty. Operating the pump continuously with no water can cause damage.

14. Hot Water Heater

The switch to activate the gas-operated water heater is located below the rear seats.

To operate the hot water heater:

1. Turn the gas bottle (located in the rear doors under the bed) to the ON position. Twist the valve counterclockwise to open and clockwise to close. The system will not function if there is insufficient gas.
2. Activate the water pump switch on the 12-volt switchboard.
3. Adjust the Boiler switch upwards to the 60-degree mark.
   
   
    
4. A brief red light will flash on the Boiler switch then extinguish, indicating the system is operating. If the red light persists (burner has not ignited), cease all operations, reset the switch to the neutral O position, and retry. You may attempt this up to three times. If ignition is not achieved by the third attempt, allow the system to rest for 10–15 minutes before retrying.

Water typically takes around 20–25 minutes to reach the desired temperature.

NOTE: The motorhome also has a 240-volt hot water system. When connected to mains power, this will automatically activate and heat the water. If water has already been heated via 240-volt, the gas hot water operation will be inactive.

15. Toilet use

1. Turn on the water pump on the 12-volt control panel.
2. Push the blue button on the toilet to fill the base with water (Diagram A).
3. Once finished, adjust the lever on the bottom of the toilet to empty into the cassette (Diagram B) 
4. Ensure the lever is in the closed position after use.

16. Toilet cassette

It is highly recommended to regularly empty the toilet cassette. It is mandatory to empty and clean it before returning the vehicle to the depot.

To empty the cassette:

1. Lift the blue lever and remove the entire cassette from the vehicle.
2. Rotate the pour-out spout and unscrew the cap.
3. Dispose of waste at a designated black water dump point.
4. Rinse the cassette thoroughly and repeat the emptying process.
5. Add a toilet chemical along with half to one litre of water.
6. Click the cassette back into position so it aligns with the toilet above.

If the cassette becomes jammed: Do not apply excessive force. Ensure the toilet cavity inside the vehicle is securely closed, then remove the cassette.

Please note: It is crucial for the cassette to click back into position to align with the toilet above.

     

17. Gas bottle

The gas bottle is located on the exterior of the vehicle in a locker marked with an LP gas storage label.

IMPORTANT: Never drive with the gas bottle turned to the open position.

5. Evacuate the area until the gas odour dissipates.
6. Contact JUCY for assistance.

18. Stove top and grill

Warning: Do not use cooking appliances for comfort heating. Always have sufficient ventilation when using the stove. The stove top lid must be in a fully upright position for the hotplate and grill to ignite.

How it operates
The gas burners in the vehicle operate on LPG. The basic operation is the same as a gas stove in a house. However, the amount of oxygen in a motorhome is limited due to its size; therefore, always have
sufficient ventilation when using the stove. 
 

To use the stove top:

1. Locate the gas bottle on the outside of the van and turn the valve on top fully to the open position.
2. Lift the glass stove lid so it is fully upright. If the lid is partially open, the burners will not work.
3. Push in, hold down, and turn the burner knob to your desired heat level.
   
   
    
4. While the burner knob is still being pushed in, press the igniter switch until the gas lights.
5. Keep holding down the burner knob.
6. Wait approximately 15 seconds before slowly releasing the burner knob.
   
   

Please note: If the flame extinguishes, the burner knob may have been released too soon. Start from step 2 and try again.

To operate the grill: Select the knob marked "grill" at the far end. Operate the same way as the stove top. Make sure the stove top lid is fully open when using the grill.

If using a match: Light the match first, hold it next to the burner, then open the burner valve. To prevent too much unburned gas accumulating, do not open the valve before lighting the match.

If the stove does not ignite there may be insufficient power in the battery to provide a spark. Connect to mains power or use a match.

19. Heater & Air Conditioner

The vehicle is equipped with a reverse cycle air conditioner that generates both hot and cold air. The air conditioner only works when plugged into 240-volt power.

Operating the air conditioner:

1. Plug the vehicle into 240 Volt mains power.
2. Turn on the unit by pressing the red power button on the remote control.
3. Select the mode.
4. Adjust the temperature using either the up arrow button (for higher) or down arrow button (for lower).

IMPORTANT: Always turn off the air conditioner using the remote before disconnecting the vehicle from 240-volt mains power.

In humid and hot conditions:

• Keep curtains and blinds closed if leaving the vehicle unattended for an extended period.
• Before activating the air conditioner, ventilate the interior by opening doors and windows to expel warm air.
• Once the internal temperature has decreased, close all windows and external doors before switching on the air conditioner.
• Adjust the temperature to 23°C with the fan at maximum speed. Do not set the temperature below this level.
• Following these guidelines reduces the risk of condensation and water overflow.

Note: During periods of high temperature, air conditioners may experience power fluctuations due to voltage drops, which can blow internal fuses.

In cold conditions: The air conditioning unit may cease functioning when temperatures drop below 4°C. Wait for the temperature to rise before attempting to use it again.

• The air conditioning units may cease functioning when temperatures drop below 4 degrees Celsius.

• If this occurs, wait for the temperature to rise before attempting to use the air conditioner again.

   

20. Fridge (3-Way)

Your vehicle may be equipped with either a 3-way fridge or a 2-way fridge. Check which type applies to your vehicle and follow the relevant instructions below.
