Fresh Water Tank
This tank is used to hold fresh potable water for use throughout the water system and is usually located on the floor of the water compartment;
however, some coach floorplans may be equipped with a water tank located in another compartment. The fresh water tank is filled from the city
water connection with a hose or hose reel via the fresh water tank fill valve or auto fill system. This tank may be located behind a panel, cover, or
the macerator and may not be visible from the outside.

Fresh Water Tank Fill
Valve
The rotating fresh water tank fill valve is used to pressurize the fresh water system in your coach, as well as to fill the fresh water tank when the
coach is connected to city water. With pressurized water supply connected, simply rotate the valve to the desired position:
•
Manual fill position fills the fresh water tank when connected to a pressurized water source
•
Auto fill position supplies pressurized water to the coach on demand from the city water connection and, if the auto fill function is enabled on
the coach’s tank monitoring system (i.e. Silverleaf, KIB, or Digi-Level), fills the fresh water tank to match the auto fill settings.
8
Fresh Water Tank
Low Point Drain
The fresh water tank low point drain is used to empty the fresh water tank. Open the low point drain valve to drain the fresh water tank, and close
the low point drain valve when filling the fresh water tank or storing fresh water in the tank. This low point drain is located near the fresh water
tank and may be difficult to see from the outside. It is often located just behind the lip of the white drain pan when the fresh water holding tank is
located in the main water compartment. When the fresh water holding tank is located outside of the main water compartment, the fresh water tank
low point drain is typically near it.
8
Hot and Cold
Low Point Drains
Typically the coach has one hot water low point drain and one cold water low point drain, which are used to empty the water lines. Open the valves
to relieve water pressure and drain the water lines. Close the valves for normal operation of the pressurized water system.
10
LED Light Strip
Some lights are operated automatically via a plunger switch that activates the lights when the compartment door is opened.
11
Oasis Heat Exchanger
The Oasis heat exchanger is used to heat the water compartment in order to keep the bay temperature above freezing. This exchanger may be
located behind a panel or cover and may not be visible from the outside.
Note: Power must be supplied to the Oasis system and the system must be turned on via the control panel or SilverLeaf coach management
system in order for heat to be provided to the water compartment. Once both conditions are met, the thermistor will turn the heater on once the
compartment falls to approximately 40 degrees.
12
Saniflo Lift Station
Pump
Certain floorplans may use a lift pump in locations where plumbing drains are too low or too far away for gravity drains to effectively reach the
waste water holding tanks. The design is a small collection tank with an inlet from the sink or shower with a submergible pump to push the water
out of the discharge to the holding tank. The pump starts automatically (if 120 volt power is being supplied) as soon as the bath, shower, or sink
begins to drain. It shuts down when the water has been drained.
Note: Only select floorplans are equipped with lift station pumps, which may or may not be located in the water compartment.
13
Sewage (Black) Tank
The black tank is generally for sewage waste from the stool. It is typically located between the frame rails in the water compartment. This tank may
be located behind a panel or cover and may not be visible from the outside.
14
Sewage (Black)
Tank Rinse Connection
When draining your sewer tank, attach a water hose to the sewage tank rinse connection. After the tank is drained, leave the gate valve open, and
open the water valve to the attached hose, allowing water to spray inside the sewage tank for several minutes to flush and rinse the tank.
15
Waste (Gray) Water
Tank
The gray water holding tank is typically located in the underbelly of the coach, sometimes on top of the fresh water tank. It is primarily used for the
drainage from the kitchen and bath sinks, shower, and the washing machine (if equipped).This tank may be located behind a panel or cover and
may not be visible from the outside.
16
Water Pump Switch
with LED Indicator
Press the water pump switch momentarily to activate the water pump. The LED illuminates when the pump is activated.
17
Water Pump with Filter
When not connected to city water, the coach's water pump is used to pump and pressurize water from the fresh tank for distribution through the
hot and cold water lines. When activated, the water pump will automatically turn on and off to maintain proper water pressure in the coach.
18
Whole House Water
Filter
The whole house water filter system uses a replaceable extruded carbon filter cartridge to remove sediment and certain impurities from the
incoming water supply. This filters the fresh water as it is brought in to the coach from the city water connection through the hose or hose reel.
19
Winterizing and
Antifreeze Inlet Valves
(A and B)
The winterizing valves are only used during the coach winterization process. To determine proper valve positioning throughout the process,
follow the posted instructions in the coach water compartment for the A and B valves. These valves may be located outside of the main water
compartment on some coaches.
