bulldogod Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 What is self containment cert?????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'm not 100% sure of the details but it has to do with being able to store waste water and sewerage - ie, contain the waste the motorhome produces until a proper dump facility is found. There's ratio's for tank sizes that need to be observed and the tanks must be of a certain standard etc, blah blah... Best to get the regulations to be certain and contact the certification officer for areas you're not clear on. There's a lot of miss-information around so it's best to ask the person who's actually going to certify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Warren is onto it, it is something that is required to go into certain areas (national parks etc) to ensure you're able to carry out all the waste likely to be produced by those on board. There's a lot of miss-information around so it's best to ask the person who's actually going to certify it. x2 I jsut did a quick Google and couldn't find much on it, so probably best to speak to your local certification person to find out the exact rules. Are you looking to certify one, or are you shopping and wondering what it means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jude Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 A self-contained motor caravan is designed to completely meet the ablutionary and sanitary needs of the occupants for a minimum of three days. Fresh water for drinking and cooking is stored in tanks. Waste water is collected in waste water tanks and disposed of via a dump station. Self-contained vehicles protects the environment from indiscriminate dumping of waste, and gives members more freedom when travelling. Lots more useful info on the NZ motor caravan association site http://www.nzmca.org.nz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
