are two different water systems in your
RV: the fresh water system and the waste
water system. The fresh water system consists
of the fresh water holding tank, fresh water
connections, water pump, outside shower
assembly, water heater, faucets, tub/shower,
and water purification system. The waste
water system consists of the waste water
holding tank, sewage holding tank, drains and
toilet.

Recreation vehicles shake and vibrate while
going down the road. It is possible for
plumbing fittings to come loose. Check all
fittings, pressure and waste, for leaks before
each trip or before vehicle storage as part of
your normal maintenance:
0
Inspect all faucets, the water purification
system (optional) and sink connections
(including drain baskets or filters).
0
Remove the access panels. Inspect the
shower faucet fittings and shower drain
lines.
0
Inspect connections at the water pump
and water heater.
0
At the end of every trip, you should drain
any unused water from the fresh water
system.
There are labels affixed to the exterior of the
RV’s sidewall that indicate the locations of the
water system drains and fills. Be aware some
drain valves may be located inside the RV
(once the exterior label is found, go inside to
find the drain corresponding location).

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 (or
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.

The monitor panel located in the Command
Center allows you to monitor the fresh water,
grey water, black water and house batteries
levels. These functions are controlled using
the “tact” switches located on the Command
Center faceplate. The monitor panel operates
on 12-volt DC power supplied by either the
converter or house batteries. Sensors installed
in the holding tanks connect to a resistor
assembly (relaying an electronic message to
the display board). No power is drawn from the
house batteries unless a switch is pushed or
turned ON. Fuses for the monitor panel are
located in the fuse panel.
Operation
Press only one “tact” switch at a time. As you
push either the “FRESH”, “BLACK”, “GREY1”
or “GREY2 (optional)” switch, one or more
LED lights will illuminate indicating that holding
tank content level. When pushing the “BATT”
switch, the highest LED light illuminated
indicates the estimated house batteries
condition.
C =
charge at 12.7 volts or above
G = good at 12.1 volts or above
F = fair at 11.6 volts or above
L = low at 6.0 volts or above

The fresh water tank can be gravity filled or
pressure filled using the fresh water inlet
(called city water). Plastic overflow tubes are
plumbed into the fresh water holding tank to
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
