Section 8: Plumbing System
101
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 connections,
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 (optional) 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.
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 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.
Typically, there are labels affixed to the exterior of the recreation vehicle sidewall that
indicate 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).
Monitor Panel
Monitor panel locations may vary by model. Typical locations
are on the command center panel, on an interior wall, or on the
exterior utility center.
It allows you to monitor the fresh water, grey water, black water
and auxiliary battery levels. These functions are controlled
using the tact switches. The monitor panel operates on 12-volt
DC power supplied by either the converter or auxiliary battery.
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
additional information.
NOTE:
If your RV has secondary black or gray tanks, there may
also be an additional tank monitor. located elsewhere in your RV. It is
typically labeled as a convenience center.
