SECTION 7
PLUMBING SYSTEMS
T here are two different water systems in your
RV: the fresh water system and the waste
water system. The fresh water system
consists of the fresh water holding tank, fresh
water connections, water pump, outside
shower assembly (if so equipped), water
heater, faucets, shower or tub, and water
purification system (if so equipped). The
waste water system consists of the waste
water holding tank, sewage holding tank,
drains and toilet.
Recreation vehicles shake and vibrate while
going down the road. It is possible for
plumbing fittings to come loose. Check all
fittings, pressure and waste, for leaks before
each trip or before vehicle storage as part of
your normal maintenance:
□ Inspect all faucets, the water purification
system (optional) and sink connections
(including drain baskets or filters).
□ Remove the access panels. If so
equipped, inspect the shower faucet
fittings and shower drain lines.
□ If so equipped, inspect connections at the
water pump and water heater.
At the end of every trip, you should drain any
unused water from the fresh water system.
There are labels affixed to the exterior of the
RV’s sidewall that indicate the locations of the
water system drains and fills. Be aware some
drains may be located inside the RV (once the
exterior label is found, go inside to find the
drain corresponding location).

All water contains contaminant and mineral
particles that can cause fresh water system
odors. Untreated well water is a major source
of water system odors. The fresh water (or
potable water) system needs periodic
sanitization and winterization to take care of
all the components within the plumbing
system and help discourage the growth of
bacteria and other organisms that can
contaminate the water supply.

The interior wall-mounted monitor panel
allows you to monitor the fresh water, grey
water, black water and auxiliary battery levels.
These functions are controlled using the "tact"
switches located on the monitor panel
faceplate. The monitor panel operates on 12-
volt DC power supplied by either the
converter or auxiliary battery. Sensors
installed in the holding tanks connect to a
resistor assembly (relaying an electronic
message to the display board). No power is
drawn from the battery unless a switch is
pushed or turned ON. Fuses for the monitor
panel are located in the load center. Refer to
the OEM operator’s manual for further
information.
Operation
Press only one “tact” switch at a time. As you
push either the “FRESH”, “BLACK” or
“GREY1” switch, one or more LED lights will
illuminate indicating that holding tank content
level. When pushing the “BATT” switch, the
highest LED light illuminated indicates the
estimated auxiliary battery condition.
C = charge at 12.7 volts
G = good at 12.1 volts
F = fair at 11.6 volts
L = low at 6.0 volts.
Water pump switch (optional)
When the water pump switch is ON the water
pump runs until 45 pounds of pressure has
been achieved. The red light will stay ON.
Turn the water pump switch OFF when it is
not in use.
Water heater switch (optional)
The "propane GAS" water heater switch
enables propane operation of the water
heater. The "ELECTRIC" water heater switch
enables electric operation of the water heater.
DO NOT drink water deemed
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality.
