2.) Attach one end of the fresh water hose to the outside
source of water.
3.) Connect the other end of the hose
to the RV city water inlet.
4.) Turn on the outside source of water. Gradually open the
hot & cold water at the sinks and tub to clear air from the
lines. Close the faucets when the water is flowing freely.
NOTE: DO NOT TURN ON THE WATER PUMP WHEN
USING WATER FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE. ONLY USE
THE WATER PUMP WHEN OBTAINING WATER STORED IN
YOUR FRESH WATER TANK.
To Disconnect from the Outside Water Source
1.) Turn off the outside source of water.
2.) Disconnect the hose from the supply valve and the
recreational vehicle inlet.
3.) Remove the hose and store.
4.) Reinstall the cap
on the recreational
vehicle inlet.
When an outside source of
water is unavailable, water
can be drawn from the
fresh water storage tank in
the RV. The tank is filled
through a gravity controlled
water spout on the exterior
of the vehicle.
FILLING THE FRESH WATER TANK:
1.) Remove the water fill cap.
2.) Water can now be added directly to the tank through the
fill spout by use of a known clean hose or bucket, used
only for this purpose.
3.) When the tank is full, replace the water fill cap.
PLUMBING
A recreational vehicle plumbing system has the dual ability
to be self contained with onboard storage, or use facilities
provided by an external pressurized source. The fresh water
system consists of those items which are used to deliver
water for your use, while the waste water system is made
up of the drains and tanks which store and remove water
that has been used. Components of the plumbing system
consist of strong, lightweight, corrosion resistant materials
that provide long life, and easy cleaning. By following the
instructions outlined here, you can expect efficient operation
with a minimum of maintenance.
FRESH WATER
Potable (fresh water) is supplied by either the fresh water
tank aboard the unit or from an outside source, connected
through the city water connection. When using the fresh
water tank, the water is pumped through the water lines by
means of the water pump. When utilizing an exterior source,
such as a campsite water supply, the pump is not needed
as the water is already pressurized and will flow through the
water supply lines within the trailer.
EXTERNAL HOOK-UP
Water provided from outside the recreational vehicle is
pressurized by the system from which it is delivered. When
you connect your recreational vehicle to an outside source,
the fresh water tank and the water pump are kept separate
from the remainder of the system by in-line check valves.
(DO NOT turn the pump on if the fresh water tank is empty.
Doing so could cause damage to the pump or a blown circuit
may occur.)
Attaching to an Outside Source of Water
1.) Remove the cap from the fresh water inlet on the side of
the recreational vehicle.
volt line, or at a not-fused 12 volt component on the line.
Check the 12 volt line and any components along the line.
Locate the short and take necessary steps to repair it. If you
cannot locate the problem, call a qualified electrician.
NOTE:
KEEP ADDITIONAL FUSES ON HAND IN THE
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. REPLACEMENT FUSES ARE
AVAILABLE AT GAS STATIONS, HARDWARE STORES, OR
AUTOMOTIVE SUPPLY STORES. REMEMBER THAT THE
REPLACEMENT FUSE MUST BE THE SAME AMPERAGE
RATING AS THE ORIGINAL FUSE.
12 VOLT FUSES
A 12 volt DC distribution panel is located next to the 110 volt
circuit breakers. The panel contains circuits with replaceable
fuses for protection of recreational vehicle 12 volt lines. If
any line is loaded beyond the capacity of its fuse, the fuse
will blow. A portion of the 12 volt load on the line must be
turned off to reduce the total load on the line to a level below
the capacity of the fuse, Replace the fuse with the same size
fuse. DO NOT replace with a larger fuse than indicated.
If this reduction of load on the line does not stop the blowing
of the fuses, there may be a short some where along the 12
