avoided by using moisture free gas and keeping
all tank valves CLOSED during storage.
An overfilled tank can allow liquid gas, rather
than the needed vapor, to flow through the
regulator. This can result in erratic regulator
delivery pressure, improper appliance operation
and possible frosting of the regulator and gas
line. This can be avoided by following the
procedures outlined in “Filling the LP Tank.”
Always contact your local gas supplier for
current procedures.
HOSE REPLACEMENT
The flexible LP gas hoses connected to your LP
tanks should be checked regularly for signs of
deterioration and may need to be replaced
every two to three years. Be sure to replace the
hoses with approved and properly rated
products.
PLUMBING
FRESH WATER
Fresh water for your RV is provided by filling the
FRESH WATER TANK or by hooking directly to a
city water connection. These sources supply
water to the kitchen sink, shower, lavatory,
toilet and water heater.
CITY WATER
Allows you to connect a hose to a city
pressurized water faucet to the unit’s CITY
WATER INLET. Your vehicle will have a separate
water fill for the FRESH WATER TANK. The fresh
water tank and water pump or by-passed when
the city water hook up is used.
CAUTION: A PRESSURE REGULATOR SHOULD BE
ALWAYS BE USED WHEN CONNECTING TO CITY
WATER. EXCESSIVE WATER PRESSURE CAN
DAMAGE LINES AND CONNECTIONS, CAUSING
WATER DAMAGE TO YOUR RV. MAKE SURE
WATER PRESSURE NEVER EXEEDS 60 PSI.
WATER TANK
UNLOCK the GRAVITY WATER FILL HATCH and
use a hose or vessel to fill the water tank.
CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE THE RV UNATTENDED
WHEN FILLING THE FRESH WATER TANK!
ALTHOUGH PROPER VENTING IS ALLOWED FOR
OVERFLOW, THE WATER PRESSURE CAN
EXPAND THE TANK AND CAUSE STRUCTURAL
DAMAGE.
Use only fresh, potable water in the storage
tank. To insure that the tank is clean, drain
after each use. Sanitize the tank when new,
whenever contamination is suspected, or
whenever it has not been used for a long period
of time.
SANITIZING THE WATER TANK
To drain, OPEN the WATER TANK VALVE. When
the tank is empty, CLOSE the valve. Mix three
(3) gallons of water with three-quarters cup of
LIQUID HOUSEHOLD BLEACH. Pour this solution
into the tank through the GRAVITY FILL. Wait
three hours, drain and flush several times with
fresh drinking water.
WATER PUMP
The RV water pump is a 12-volt DC appliance
that is activated by a switch in the kitchen area.
The switch may be left ON while camping. This
is called the demand system.
Turn the faucet on when you want water. The
pump will run only as long as needed. If the
pump fails when the switch is ON, check the
fuse located in the converter. If the pump
continues to operate whether the faucet is
open or closed, check the water tank to see if it
is empty and check to see if there is a leak in
the system.
DO NOT RUN THE WATER PUMP WITHOUT
WATER IN THE SYSTEM. ALWAYS KEEP THE
