2013 HOLIDAY RAMBLER
Waste Water System:
The sinks and shower drain into the grey
water holding tank. The black water tank is
dedicated for the toilet. Normally these tanks
are proportionate in size to the fresh water
tank. If a camping trip is started with a full
fresh water tank, the waste holding tanks will
be full or nearly full when all the water is used
from the fresh water tank.
Prior to using the toilet, add several gallons
of water to the black tank to help prevent
accumulation of solids. Holding tank odor
control chemicals are available at most RV
supply outlets.
TANk MONITOR
The recreational vehicle is equipped with a
tank monitor to gauge the level of the holding
tanks.
Tank Monitor:
Press the Levels Test button to obtain a
readout.
WATER-pOTABLE
The recreational vehicle is equipped with a
fresh water holding tank and an on-demand
water pump. The water pump pressurizes
the fresh water system. When city water is
available, city water will pressurize the fresh
water system and the water pump can be
left off. A water pressure regulator must be
installed to limit incoming city water pressure
to the fresh water system to no more than 45
psi.
There are two methods of supplying fresh
water to the recreational vehicle:
Use a potable water hose connected to
a water source.
Water is added directly to the fresh
water tank via the gravity fill.
WARNING:
Water is electrically conductive. Do
not use any electrically powered item
or electrical outlet that may be exposed
to a water source. Electrical shock can
cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION:
External water sources can deliver
water pressure, particularly in
mountainous regions. High water
pressure is anything over 55 psi
(pounds per square inch). Excessive
water pressure can cause leaks in
water lines, damage appliances and
cause the potable water hose to swell
and burst. Attach a pressure regulator
at the city water faucet to limit water
pressure to 45 psi.
City Water Hook-Up
Use a hose specifically manufactured and
labeled for “potable water” to supply the
recreational vehicle with fresh water. It is
required to install a water pressure regulator
to limit pressure to no more than 45 PSI to
prevent over-pressurization and possible
damage to the fresh water plumbing system.
Attaching the pressure regulator at the water
source will also protect the potable hose from
expanding and bursting due to excess pressure.
Install a pressure regulator on potable
water hose.
Connect the potable water hose to the
“City Water” connection.
Turn on the city water supply.
It may be necessary to open each
faucet, one at a time,
to get rid of trapped
air inside the pipes.
CAUTION:
A water pressure
regulator must be
used.
WARNING:
Hose and hose
fittings not
manufactured
for potable water
can contain
unsafe levels of
lead. It is highly
recommended
to use only fresh
water supply
hoses and fittings
manufactured for
potable water use.
