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, water heater, tub/shower. On some models, it may also
include the water purification system or outside shower assembly (if so equipped).

Depending on your model, the waste water system consists of the wastewater and
sewage holding tank(s), drains and toilet. Models with a cassette toilet will only
have the wastewater system.
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 (if so equipped).

At the end of every trip, you should drain any unused water from the fresh water
system.
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
Monitor panel locations may vary by model. Typical loca-
tions are on the command center panel, on an interior wall, or
on the exterior utility center. Some models may be equipped
with a touch screen system that monitors tank levels elec-
tronically. The monitor panel allows you to monitor the fresh
water, grey water, black water and auxiliary battery levels.
These functions are controlled using the tact switches. It op-
erates on 12-volt DC power supplied by either the converter
or auxiliary battery. No power is drawn from the battery un-
less a switch is pushed or turned ON. Fuses for the monitor
panel are located in the load center. Refer to the manufac-
turer’s operators manual for additional information.
™
NOTE: If your RV has secondary black or gray tanks, there may be an ad-
ditional tank monitor. It is typically labeled as a convenience center.
Operation
Press only one tact switch at a time. As you push either the FRESH, BLK GREY1 or GREY2
switch, one or more LED lights will illuminate (from left to right) indicating the content
level for that tank. When pushing the “BATT” switch, the LED lights illuminate from left
(lowest) to right (highest) to indicate the estimated auxiliary battery condition.
™
NOTE: When using shore power all (4) LEDs will light. If disconnected from
shore power, (3) LEDs will light to indicate a full charge (4th LED may blink).
