Parking the van on a flat shift

Vans need to be parked on as flat a surface as possible.

Sometimes a seemingly sutle change of parking angle can significantly cut the capacity of the clean water tank. This is because the long, flat tanks that sit in our laundry van picks up water from the front and measures capacity at the rear.

If the van is parked on enough of a slope, the tank can look like it has plenty of water but be unable to supply any water to the pump so it is important that we always park with the nose of the van pointing in the direction of a downward slope.
