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.

□ 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 (if so equipped) and sink
connections (including drain baskets or filters).
□ 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.
□ 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.
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 manufacturer’s operators manual for further
information.
WARNING
DO NOT drink water deemed microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
