Section 8: Plumbing System
Do not remove the potable water label from your
recreation vehicle.
You should use a non-toxic drinking water hose dedicated
only to supplying the recreation vehicle with fresh water.
To reduce the chance of contamination, prevent the non-
toxic drinking water hose from coming into contact with the
ground.
™
NOTE: If needed, sanitize the water system prior
to travel.
Water Pressure Regulator (customer supplied)
Excessive pressure from the water supply source may be encountered in some parks, espe-
cially in mountain regions when using the fresh water inlet or black tank flush. Water pres
-
sure regulators are available to protect your recreational vehicles plumbing system against
such high pressure.
Fresh Water Holding Tank
There may be several ways to fill the fresh water tank depending on the model. For details
of each method, refer to the Utility Center or Water Connection section. There are plastic
overflow tubes in the fresh water holding tank which allow water to flow out of the water
tank. Occasionally, you may see water coming from the overflow tubes when the fresh wa
-
ter holding tank is filled. This is normal and can be a result of the recreation vehicle being
parked on an incline, or the motion caused by starting or stopping during travel.
A water pressure regulator is recommended to prevent damage to the plumb-
ing system or components. To prevent damage when using the city water
connection, a 45 lb. (315 KPa) rated water pressure regulator is recommended.
 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.
 Be careful not to overfill the fresh water holding tank. It can pressurize
the tank, causing leakage and water damage and void the warranty. DO
NOT leave the tank unattended while filling.

DO NOT drink water deemed microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality.

Avoid traveling with full fresh, black or grey water holding tanks. The
weight of holding tank contents in not calculated into the RV cargo car-
rying capacity. Traveling with full tanks could cause you to exceed the
individual tire ratings and/or the RV GAWR or GVWR. Traveling with
full tanks can also affect your vehicle handling characteristics.
