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
Open the CITY WATER INLET DOOR and connect a
hose to a city pressurized water faucet and to the
vehicle’s CITY WATER INLET. Some models have a
separate water fill for the FRESH WATER TANK.
Others have a selector switch to select either LOCAL
SUPPLY or FRESH WATER TANK. To use CITY
WATER make sure the selector is set to LOCAL
SUPPLY. The fresh water tank and water pump are
by-passed when the city water hook-up is used.
CAUTION: A PRESSURE REGULATOR SHOULD
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 EXCEEDS 60 PSI.
Water Tank
UNLOCK the GRAVITY WATER FILL HATCH and
use a hose or vessel to fill the water tank. Or, select
FRESH WATER TANK after hooking the hose to the
CITY WATER. Watch your monitor panel inside to
determine when the tank is full.
CAUTION:
NEVER
LEAVE
YOUR
COACH
UNATTENDED WITH 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 trip.
Sanitize the tank when new, whenever contamination
is suspected, or whenever it has not been used for a
long period of time.
Quick Fill water supply
Some coaches come equipped with a Quick Fill
water supply (FIG 13A) connection for supplying local
water and filling the water holding tank. With this
system, to fill the water tank connect the water supply
hose to the female water hose fitting located inside the
waste holding tank compartment. Select “fill” on the
blue Quick Fill lever, which may be located on the
opposite side of the coach, and turn on the water
supply. Watch the inside monitor until the water tank
reads full. If the water fill is left unattended, excess
water will escape out the overfill valve located on top of
the water tank. This method of topping off the tank
should be avoided.
To select local water supply, simply turn the blue
Quick Fill selector lever to the “local supply” position.
(FIG 13A) QUICK FILL WATER SUPPLY LEVER
Sanitizing the Water Tank
To drain, OPEN the WATER TANK VALVE (FIG. 14).
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. Or, siphon from the
winterizing tube supplied on some models. Wait three
hours, drain and flush several times with fresh drinking
water.
