When not in use, the water filter cartridge
should be stored out of freezing temperatures.
RV antifreeze will damage the water filter
cartridge. Before winterizing the RV plumbing
system, shut off the “water filter cold water
inlet valve” and the “water filter bypass” valve.

The fresh water tank can be filled by pressure
filling through the fresh water inlet (called city
water) or by country fill. There are plastic
overflow tubes plumbed into the fresh water
holding tank. They 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.
Filling the
fresh water tank using the city water
If needed, sanitize the RV water system prior
to travel or camping.
1. Move the “water heater bypass valves” to
the NORMAL position.
2. Open the “fresh water tank bypass valve.”
3. Close the “winterization valve.”
4. Remove the city water fill inlet cap and
attach a non-toxic drinking water hose to
the inlet.
5. Turn ON the water at the external water
source.
6. Water will flow into the fresh water tank.
To disconnect
7. During the filling process, periodically
check the fresh water tank level using the
monitor panel. When the fresh water tank
is full, it is normal to see water running
from the fresh water overflow tubes onto
the ground.
8. Close the “fresh water tank bypass valve.”
9. Shut OFF the water at the external water
source.
10. Disconnect the non-toxic drinking water
hose and reinstall the city water fill inlet
cap.
Filling the
fresh water tank using the country fill
Generally speaking, this setting is used to fill
the water tank when dry camping. Make sure
you have sufficient 12-volt power to operate
the water pump. If needed, sanitize the water
system prior to travel or camping.
1. Move the “water heater bypass valves” to
the NORMAL position.
2. Open the “fresh water tank bypass valve”
located in the universal docking center.
3. Open the “winterization valve” and insert
the free end of the clear hose into your
container of potable water.
4. Turn ON the water pump.
5. Enter the RV and open the cold water
supply faucets to bleed air from the water
lines. When the water lines are nearly full,
you may experience some "air pockets."
Allow them to escape before closing the
cold water supply faucets.
6. The water heater will fill first, followed by
the supply lines and faucets.
7. When at your campsite, turn the
appropriate (12-volt or 120-volt) water
heater control switch ON.
To disconnect
8. During the filling process, periodically
check the fresh water tank level using the
monitor panel. When the fresh water tank
is full, it is normal to see water running
from the fresh water overflow tubes onto
the ground.
9. Shut OFF the water pump.
10. Close the “fresh water tank bypass valve”.
