The plumbing systems in your motor home are
constructed of durable thermoplastic materials.
Holding tanks and piping components are
strong, lightweight, and corrosion resistant.
Holding tanks are of three types:
•
Fresh
– Fresh potable water
•
Grey
– Lavy/shower effluent
•
Black
– Toilet effluent
It is recommended to discharge as many fluid
tanks as practical before driving.
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Fresh, potable water is available from either an
external “city water” hookup or on-board storage.
External Fresh Water Hookup
The external system is pressurized by the water
system at an RV park or city water supply. The
connection is located in the utility compartment
on the rear left side of the motor home.
To connect to pressurized city water:
1. Connect one end of a potable water hose to
the RV park or city water supply. This will
usually be a faucet or valve similar to your
garden hose valve at home. Potable water
hoses are available at RV supply stores.
2. Run the city water supply for a few sec-
onds to clear the line. Turn off the water.
3. Attach the other end of the potable water
hose to city water connection located on
the motor home. Make sure all connections
are tight.
4. Turn on the RV park/city water supply.
Open all faucets inside the motor home to
clear the lines. Then turn off faucets.
To disconnect the city water:
1. Turn OFF the city water supply.
2. Remove the hose from the city water supply
valve.
3. Drain and store the hose.
Filling the On-Board Water Tank
The on-board fresh water tank can be filled as
follows:
The external gravity water fill is located on the
exterior of the motor home. The on-board water
tank can be filled here. To fill the fresh water
tank, remove the cap, remove the vent plug, and
fill the tank using a potable water hose.

CAUTION
Since water pressures at campgrounds vary, we
recommend you install an in-line pressure regulator
(if not equipped) at the water supply faucet. This will
protect the motor home water system and your sup-
ply hose from excessively high water pressure.
