Fresh Water Fill
When connecting the motorhome to fresh
water, use a hose manufactured and labeled for
potable water. This ensures the hose will not
flavor the water. It is recommended to install a
pressure regulator on the water line to prevent
the hose from expanding and bursting due to
excessive pressure.
1. If the motorhome has
the optional Power
Water Hose Reel, pull
hose out. Connect one
end of the pressure
regulator to the water
source and the other
end to the hose and
go to step #4. If
motorhome does not
have the optional
power hose reel,
proceed with step #2.
2. Connect one end of
the pressure regulator
to the water source and the
other end to the potable hose.
3. Connect potable hose to the
City/Fresh Water Fill valve.
4. For 41 SKQ and 41 DFT
open the fresh water tank fill
valve. For 38 PKQ open the fresh
water tank shut-off valve.
5. Make sure all low point drain valves
are closed.
6. Turn the City/Fresh Water Fill handle
to the Tank Fill position.
7. Turn on water at the source. The
water should be audible as the fresh
water tank fills. Observe tank fill by
using monitor panel located inside
the motorhome, or the (optional)
monitor panel located in the roadside
water service center.
8. Frequently press the Test switch and
read the scale as the fresh water tank
fills.
DO NOT leave the motorhome
unattended while filling the fresh
water tank.
9. The tank is nearing full when the
light marked F illuminates. When the
tank is completely full, water will
flow out an overflow tube under the
motorhome.
10. Turn off water supply and return the
City/Fresh Water Fill handle to City
Water position.
11. Disconnect the potable hose. Remove
pressure regulator. Store the hose with
both ends connected to prevent debris
from entering the hose.
12. If applicable, activate the (optional)
power water hose reel switch to coil
the hose on the reel. Attach plug to
keep debris and insects out.
CAUTION
Some outside water sources develop
high water pressure, particularly in
mountainous regions. High water
pressure is anything over 55 psi
(pounds per square inch). Excessive
water pressure may cause leaks in
water lines and/or damage the water
heater. Excess pressure can cause
the water hose to swell and burst. It
is recommended to use a pressure
regulator.
WATER TANk - FRESH gRAvITY FILL
The gravity fill inlet allows fluids to be
introduced directly into the fresh water tank.
When dry camping, water can be poured
directly from a container into the fresh water
tank. The gravity fill inlet can be used to pour
disinfecting solution into the fresh water tank.
Use only potable water sources, solutions and
delivery systems when using the
gravity fill
inlet.
For floor plans 41 SKQ
and 41 DFT, gravity fill
is located in a roadside
compartment. For floor plan
38 PKQ, gravity fill is located
in the roadside water service
center.
Filling the Tank:
1. Unscrew fill cap taking care to keep
cap and inlet clean.
2. Insert potable water hose into inlet.
3. Fill tank until water overflows from
inlet.
NOTE
DO NOT leave the gravity fill
inlet unattended when in use.
