SECTION 8
PLUMBING SYSTEMS
There
are two different water systems in your
RV: the fresh water system and the waste
water system.
•
The fresh water system generally consists
of the fresh water holding tank(s), fresh
water connections, and water pump,
outside shower assembly, water heater,
faucets, shower or tub, washer/dryer and
water purification system.
•
The waste water system consists of the
waste water holding tank, sewage holding
tank, drains and toilet.
Your RV has a one piece corrugated plastic
underbelly:
•
The heated and insulated holding tanks
are always enclosed.
•
The water lines are in-floor heated and
always enclosed.

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:
•
Inspect all faucets, the water purification
system and sink connections (including
drain baskets or filters).
•
Remove the access panel(s) and inspect
the shower faucet fittings and shower
drain lines. Inspect the washer/dryer
(customer supplied appliance) fittings and
drain lines.
•
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 (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.
