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 water tank located within the motor home,
or
-
any external water source to which the motor
home may be connected, known as “city wa-
ter”.
FILLING 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 may be filled by inserting a hose into
the tank fill opening. A built-in vent prevents the
tank from becoming air-locked while filling.
When neither city water nor a hydrant are
available, a bucket and funnel may be used to fill
the tank, but this can take a considerable amount
of time.
Fresh Water Tank Capacity: 16 gal.
WATER PUMP
Pressure for the water system is supplied by a
water system demand pump which is fully auto-
matic after initial priming. When a faucet is
opened, the pump begins operation to provide a
constant flow from the tank. When the faucet is
closed, the pump automatically shuts off.
Water Pump Location - Model 22QD & HD
The water pump is located beneath the right
(passenger side) rear dinette seat. It can be
accessed either by lifting the seat cushion up or
by removing the face panel from the dinette seat
base.
The panel is held in place against the seat
frame tubes by strips of hook-and-loop tape.
Water Pump Location - Model 22FD
The water pump is located below an access
hole beneath the bedboard or the rear bed in the
left (driver side) rear of the coach. Lift or
remove the bed mattress to expose the access
hole.
