Section 8: Plumbing System
Plumbing System
There are two different water systems in your recreation vehicle:
The fresh water system consists of the fresh water holding tank, faucets and con-
nections, water pump, outside shower assembly (if so equipped), water heater, tub/
shower, and water purification system (if so equipped).
The waste water system consists of the waste water and sewage holding tank(s),
drains and toilet.
Plumbing System Maintenance
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 connec
-
tions (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.
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 (potable water) system needs periodic sanitization and winter-
ization 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.
Typically, there are labels affixed to the exterior of the recreation vehicle sidewall that in
-
dicate the locations of the water system drains and fills. Be aware some drain valves may
be located inside the vehicle (once the exterior label is found, go inside to find the drain
corresponding location).
Refer to the manufacturer’s operating manual included in your warranty packet for the de-
tailed operating, sanitizing, and winterizing information for each water system component.
Monitor Panel
Your motor home may be equipped with a monitor panel outside the coach at the outside wet
bay. The monitor panel has representations of the tanks it can monitor (fresh, black, grey), a
switch to operate the water pump, and a switch to turn on a light in the wet bay.
Levels are indicated in percentage increments. A full tank will say “Full”, and empty tank
will say “Empty”.
The tanks will read levels constantly so you can tell at a glance how full each one is. This
monitor is linked to the one inside the coach on the Vega Touch screen. Levels can be
checked from two locations, inside or outside the RV
Vegatouch System
The touchscreen system in the RV includes a tank monitor screen that shows tank levels by
percentage also. If the tanks are empty, they will read 0%, if they are full they will read
100%. The horizontal bars will fill in according to what percentage the tanks are indicating.
There is also a switch to operate the water pump on this screen.
Refer to the Vegatouch User Guide included in your warranty packet or online at
for specific instructions.
