:welcome1: Hi Steff, if you are new to this game welcome and ask as often as you like. all of us are still learning. The small tube that is allowing your over filled tank to level off (overflow) If wagon has been standing for a while visit your local dealer and get some fresh water tank cleaner and follow the instructions. Normally in some wagons you can access the water tank through the floor and there is generally a bung which allows you to drain down the tank completely at the end of the season or when laying up the wagon for a while (stale water is yuk)The cleaner also cleans the tap and shower lines. Need more info on the fridge controls as they do vary. Also you asked about light change over switches again they vary so more info on what yours look like. You no doubt will have a waste tank slung underneath which collects from your sinks and shower (if fitted) the drain for this will be via another tap about 2" in diameter located just under the side skirt of the wagon, again, which side its on varies. Warning do not over tighten or force the tap. As damage will be expensive and a big puddle under the wagon in a campsite or Aires can be embarrassing. Will try to help if I can.
