This section contains information and knowledge for the operation and care
of the various water system equipment found in the motorhome. The
motorhome is equipped with two separate water systems. Optional water
equipment will also be discussed, so not all information may be applicable to
the motorhome. More detailed information with
CAUTION or WARNING
instructions for the various equipment, other than what is found in this section,
can be found in the manufacturer’s manual in the owner information box.
It is hard to imagine how much water is used by the average person every-
day. Newcomers to a self-contained motorhome soon discover water does not
last very long unless consumption is drastically reduced. For example, less
water can be used for showering if the shower is turned off while soaping
down, then turned back on to rinse. This way a good shower uses a couple gal-
lons of water or less. There is plenty of water to meet personal needs once
habits are adjusted.
Fresh Water System:
The fresh water system consists of: fresh water tank, water pump, and a
city/fresh water connection.
Blue tubing is used for all cold water lines throughout the motorhome. Red
tubing is used for all hot water lines throughout the motorhome.
Use the water hose that is marked for potable water use only. Care of the
hose is a must. After each use, drain the water hose and coil the hose neat-
ly. Attach the ends together to keep dirt, debris and insects out of the hose.
Waste Water System:
The waste water system consists of: a waste holding tank (grey water), a
sewage holding tank (black water), flush system, toilet and drains.
The motorhome is equipped with a monitor panel to aide in managing the
storage tanks. The monitor panel will be located in a main Status Monitor
Panel in the hallway area. The switch marked
TEST is a momentary switch
which requires being held down while testing the level of the storage tanks.
Read the scale for the desired storage tank that is to be monitored. Each scale
uses colored lights along with a corresponding scale reading. The lights and
scale indications are as follows:
• Green lamps indicate good or normal ranges.
• Amber lamps indicate fair or partial ranges.
• Red lamps indicate full or empty ranges (depending on the
scale), which are in the critical range.
Lamp indication voltages are as follows:
6.0 Volt DC E lamp illuminates under 6.0 Volt DC lamp off.
Over 11.2 Volt DC the 1/3 lamp extinguishes.
Over 11.9 Volt DC the 2/3 lamp extinguishes.
Under 12.7 Volt DC the F lamp extinguishes.
All voltages have a +/- 5% tolerance.
