About The Fresh Water
System
The Fresh Water System consists of the fresh water
holding tank, water pump, valves, connection hoses, and
fresh water plumbing lines. This system is responsible
for providing potable water for drinking, cooking,
bathing, and all other activities that require clean water.
The fresh water system begins with a hose or hose reel,
which provides the connection to the fresh potable
water. Then, via the fresh water valve, the water is
diverted through the coach to be distributed through
the cold water plumbing lines to the fresh water holding
tank or to the cold water connections of each faucet
and the water heater. From the water heater, the water
is then dispersed through a series of water lines to each
faucet on the hot water inlet and the hot water spigots (if
equipped).
Plumbing Overview
Water Compartment Overview
The water compartment in the coach typically contains the tanks and most of the controls for the plumbing system.
It is usually located on the driver side of the coach immediately in front of the rear wheels, as it is isolated from other
compartments, is heated and insulated, and sometimes occupies more than one compartment (gas coaches).

CAUTION
!

for the plumbing system prior to using your coach.
Failure to connect and operate the system correctly
may result in damage not covered by the Newmar

About The Waste Water
System
There are two separate waste systems: the gray tank
system and the black tank system, which includes sinks,
lavatories, showers, tubs, and toilets. Each tank has its
own control valve, and both tanks drain through the sewer
drain hose. The waste water system catches and contains
the used water and divert the waste water through the
traps and drain lines to the grey or black holding tank(s). It
is then stored until the tanks are emptied using a sanitary
drain or dump station.
Ease of operation was the key element in the design of
the water compartment and plumbing in your unit. The
fresh water system in your coach is designed to operate
at a maximum of 60 PSI. Water pressure levels above
this level can damage the fresh water plumbing in your
unit. If your water pressure ever surpasses 60 PSI, you
must install a pressure regulator to reduce the incoming
pressure, or fill the fresh water tank and use the internal
water pump to supply water to your coach.
The water compartment contains parts of both the fresh
and waste water systems, including:
•
City Water Connection
•
Whole House Filter
•
Exterior Shower (if equipped)
•
Waste Water Tank Drains
•
Flushing Connections
Below are examples of water compartments.
Components and setup will vary by coach model
and year.
