FRESH WATER SYSTEM
The Fresh Water System provides water to the
galley sink, shower, bathroom lavatory, toilet,
and water heater. Water may be supplied by
either of two sources:
•
A fresh water tank and water pump located
within the motorhome,
or
•
Any external fresh water source to which the
motorhome may be connected, known as “city
water”.
Water Pressure Regulators
Because city water pressure varies from
location to location, we recommend obtaining an
in-line water pressure regulator to prevent
damage to any components, connections, and
seals in your fresh water system.
These devices simply connect in-line between
the supply hose and the city water input on the
coach. We recommend regulators that control
water pressure to
50 psi. max
.
Water pressure regulators are commonly
available at most RV dealerships and many large
retail discount or home supply centers.
Filling the Fresh Water Tank
Always fill the fresh water tank at an approved
potable water filling facility or a known purified
drinking water source.
The tank is filled through the Tank Fill
Connection located on the side of the vehicle.
1. Attach hose to the Tank Fill Connection.
2. Turn water supply ON.
3. Use the level display on the monitor panel to
oversee filling of the tank, or when the tank is
full, water will flow from tank vent tube
beneath coach.
4. Turn OFF water supply and disconnect from
the Fresh Water Inlet.
Using City Water
When connected to an outside source of water,
the water bypasses the water pump and storage
tank and supplies pressure directly to individual
faucets and toilet. A check valve built into the
pump prevents water from entering the pump and
filling the storage tank.
1. Connect hose to City Water Connection.
WARNING
Potable water only.
Sanitize, flush, and drain water tank
before using.
See owner’s manual for instructions,
care, and maintenance information.
Failure to maintain tank can result in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
Do not leave fresh water connection
unattended when filling tank. Failure to
comply may result in tank expansion and
property damage.
