Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with one or both of the following fresh water
connections: City Water and Gravity Fill. The City Water Fill has a threaded connector
with a City Water Connection label next to it. Do not remove this label.
Using City Water Fill:
1. If needed sanitize the water system. (Refer to
Sanitizing the Plumbing System section)
2. Remove the connection cap and attach a non-
toxic drinking water hose to the threaded inlet.

NOTE: The other end of this hose should be
connected to a pressurized fresh water source
e.g. faucet or spigot).

NOTE: You should use a non-toxic
drinking water hose dedicated only to supplying
fresh water to the vehicle. To reduce the change
of contamination, prevent the non-toxic drinking
water hose from coming into contact with the ground.
