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.

ANK
The fresh water tank can be gravity filled or pressure filled using the fresh water
inlet (called city water). Plastic overflow tubes are plumbed into the fresh water
holding tank to allow water to flow out of the water tank. Occasionally, you may
see water coming from the overflow tubes (located underneath the RV) when the
fresh water holding tank is filled. This is normal, and is caused by external
circumstances, including the RV being parked on an incline, or the motion caused
by starting or stopping the RV during travel
.
Do not cap, block or modify the fresh water tank overflow tubes in any way.
Enough water pressure can build up during the filling process to damage the
plumbing system if the overflow tubes are obstructed.

ONNECTIONS
There are two types of direct exterior fresh water connections in your RV: city
water and gravity fill.
Fig. 8.1 Fresh water connections
To use the city water fill
1. If needed, sanitize the water system.
2. Remove the connection cap and attach a non-toxic drinking water hose to the
inlet.
CAUTION
Be careful not to overfill the fresh water holding tank. It can pressurize the
tank, causing leakage and water damage and void the warranty. DO NOT
leave the tank unattended while filling.
