Water Systems
The motorhome plumbing system has the dual ability to be self-contained
with on-board storage, or use facilities provided by an external pressurized
source. In either case, the components of the system operate like those in
your home. 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.
Motorhome plumbing can be divided into two separate systems. 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.
Water provided from outside the motorhome is pressurized by the system from which
it is delivered. When you connect your motorhome 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.
To connect the motorhome to an outside source of water:
1. Remove the cap from the fresh water inlet on the side of the
motorhome and attach one end of the fresh water hose to
the outside source of water.
2. Connect the other end of the hose to the motorhome city
water inlet.
3. Turn the outside source of water ON and open the various
faucets in the motorhome gradually to clear the air from the
lines. Close the faucets when the water flows freely.
Note:
Do not turn the water pump on when using water from an external
supply.
To disconnect from the outside source of supply:
1. Shut off the outside source of water and disconnect the hose
from the valve and vehicle inlet.
2. Re-reel the hose and reinstall the cap on the motorhome inlet.
When an outside source of water is unavailable, water can be drawn from the fresh
water storage tank for use in the motorhome. The tank is filled through a gravity
controlled water fill spout on the side of the motorhome.
To fill the fresh water tank:
1. Remove the water fill spout cap and fill directly to the tank.
2.
Use a clean hose or bucket from a clean, safe source of water.
3. Be sure to replace the fill spout cap after the tank is filled.

Some water sources develop high water pressure,
particularly in mountainous regions. These campgrounds
or hookup locations may not have regulated water
pressure, which could be considered excessive. High
pressure is anything over 55 psi. Excessive pressure
may cause leaks or damage to your water system. Water
pressure regulators are available to protect the water
system against high pressures. Check with your dealer
for recommendations of water pressure regulators.
