Utilities
Just like your house, your Carado has fresh water, electricity, waste water disposal, heating, and cooling systems. In the Carado, these systems are
self-contained and travel with you.
Your vehicle should be reasonably level to allow normal operation of these systems.
Fresh Water
Your fresh water tank uses a gravity fill system, located in the driver's side door pillar. (Picture 43.3) You can fill the fresh water tank from a
convenient water spigot and designed water fill hose. (Do not use a garden hose unless it is for potable water).
To fill the tanks with fresh water, open the driver's side front door and remove the orange plug in the fresh water fill port. Fill until water comes out
the hole. If using a fresh water hose to fill, do not turn the water pressure up all the way. Water will start to back up in the lines before the tank is
filled and you will get a return splash at the fill point. Always check your monitor panel after filling fresh water to make sure your tank is filled.
City Water
The city water connection is on the driver’s side of the vehicle (Picture 44.2). Before making the city water connection, the ball valve located in the
front section of the driver’s side storage needs to be closed. (See Picture 49.1) Unscrew the plastic protective cap, rinse the area with clean water
and connect your clean hose to the water faucet and this connection point. Turn the faucet on and check for leaks, tightening the connections as
necessary.
There is a pressure regulator in the connection. See HOWTO’s: Potable Water Use for instructions on how to hook up to city water.
