CITY WATER HOOK-UP
The city water hook-up is found on the lower roadside of the trailer.
Use a high-pressure hose of at least 1/2" diameter. It should be one that is tasteless, odorless and non-toxic
designed for RV use. The city water inlet is a standard garden hose thread. We suggest you carry two
lengths of hose. This way you have the ability to reach hookups further away than normal, plus you have a
spare hose should one fail or become damaged unexpectedly.
After hooking up the hose and turning on the city water valve provided in the park, slowly open a faucet.
There will be a lot of spurts and sputtering until all the air is expelled from the trailer system. If the is
empty it will take some time before all the air is expelled and you get a steady flow of water at the faucet.
Once a steady flow is achieved at one faucet the others should be opened long enough to expel the air in the
lines going to them.
Your plumbing system has a built in pressure regulator to protect your lines and faucets from extremely
high pressures on some city water systems.
