Water SyStemS
General Information
This section contains information and knowledge for the operation and care of the various water system
equipment found in the recreational vehicle. The recreational vehicle is equipped with two separate water
systems. 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 everyday. Newcomers to a self-contained
recreational vehicle 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 gallons 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 a fresh water tank,
water pump, and a city/fresh water connection.
Use a water hose (not supplied) 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
neatly. 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(s) (grey water) which is water from the sink drains and shower, and a
sewage holding tank (black water) for the toilet.

Measurement
The recreational vehicle is equipped with a monitor panel to aid in managing the
storage tank levels and turn the water pump on and off. Location may vary, but the
control panel is generally located on a wall near the bathroom. To perform a test, press
the button desired for monitoring. For example: Fresh or Grey 1. Red lights will glow,
indicating current storage tank level. Use the water pump switch to turn the pump ON
or OFF.
Water tank - FreSh Water Fill
1. Make sure the fresh water tank drain valve, located on the roadside, is in the closed
position. Look for decals on the side of the recreational vehicle.
2. Connect the hose labeled for potable water to the water source. The water hose from
the source to the recreational vehicle may contain excessive pressure. On a hot day the
hose may expand and burst from water pressure within the water hose.
3. It is recommended to install a pressure regulator on the water line at the faucet end.
4. Connect water hose to the fresh tank fill located on the roadside of the recreational
vehicle.
5. Turn on water at the water source. The water should be audible as fresh water tank fills.
Drain then screw the ends of the
potable water hose together before
storage to prevent leakage and
to prevent dust and insects from
entering the hose.
