PLUMBING
The faucet operates just as it would in the kitchen or
bathroom. When finished using the exterior shower, shut
off both the hot and cold valves. Do not simply shut off
the valve on the shower head itself, as it may cause hot
and cold water to mix at the exterior shower and could
allow drastic changes in water temperature throughout
the coach.
Hose Reels
Hose Reel and City Water Connection Overview
This article provides a basic overview of the Hose Reel and City Water Connection.
Located in the water compartment, the city water
connection is made with a white hose approximately 35
feet in length wrapped on the reel. In conjunction with the
“Fresh Water Fill Valve,” this water source is used for a
number of purposes, including pressurizing the plumbing
in the coach, and filling the fresh water tank.
The hose reel deploys manually by pulling the hose
outward from the compartment. Once the desired length
of hose has been extended, hook up the hose to a
potable water source. A switch located on the side of the
hose reel requires activation for power retraction. Note:
The house battery disconnect must be turned on for the
power hose reel to be operated.
For coaches not equipped with a hose reel, use a water
hose manufactured and labeled for potable water to
ensure that the hose is drinking water-safe and will not
alter the taste of the water.
The fresh water system in the coach is designed to
operate at a maximum of 60 PSI. Water pressure levels
above this level can damage the fresh water plumbing
in the coach. If the water pressure ever surpasses 60
PSI, a pressure regulator must be installed to reduce the
incoming pressure, or fill the fresh water tank and use the
internal water pump to supply water to the coach.
Before connecting to the coach, use a potable water
source to purge any remaining air and stale water in the
hose. Then, connect the hose from the potable water
source to the coach or the hose from the coach to the city
water supply (if equipped with a hose reel). Turn on the
supply valve at the water source, and open each of the
faucets to remove any air pockets in the coach plumbing
lines. Once the water flows freely, close the faucet(s).
To disconnect from the city water supply, close the valve
from the water supply. Release the pressure by rotating
the fresh water valve to the tank fill position. Remove the
hose from the city water supply, and store it in the water
compartment. Once the pressure is relieved, rotate the
fresh water valve to the appropriate operating position.
CAUTION
!
For non-powered, spring-retracting hose reels, do
not release the fresh water hose during the retraction
process. Spring tension on the hose reel can cause
the hose to retract very quickly, and can cause
physical harm to you and/or damage to your coach.
There are two separate waste systems: the gray tank system and the black tank system. Each tank has its
own control valve, and both tanks drain through the sewer drain hose.
Waste Water System
This article provides an overview and care and maintenance recommendations for sinks, tubs, and showers.
The sink and shower are the beginning of the waste water system. The basic purpose is to contain the used
water so it can be drained via the attached waste water drain line to the holding tank.
