PLUMBING & WINTERIZATION
WATER SYSTEM INFORMATION & SAFETY
Your camper is equipped with a two-part plumbing system – fresh water
and waste water.
The freshwater system includes:
• Fill Level Monitor Screen
• Freshwater Holding Tank
• Water Pump & Filter
• Alde
®
Boiler (heats the water)
• Alde
®
Flow
• Sink Faucets
• Shower Head
• Exterior Wash Station
• Water Fill Inlet
• Piping & Connections
The waste water system includes:
• Fill Level Monitor Screen
• Gray (waste) Water Holding Tank
• Black (sewage) Water Holding Tank
• Drains
• Toilet
• Piping & Connection
Safety Information:
• Before using the fresh water system for the first time and when
de-winterizing, the water system must be sanitized. During cold
months the camper may have been winterized at the factory or
dealer lot. Following the de-winterization process will sanitize the
water system. See pages 29 for instructions.
• The water system is safe enough to drink from only if it is properly
sanitized. Many camping enthusiasts find it safer and easier
to supply their own bottled drinking water. Your best option may
be supplying your own safe drinking water rather than rely on the
water system in the camper to be pure and sanitary.
• Due to the smaller plumbing system in most recreational vehicles,
the pump can only supply a limited amount of pressure at a
given time. Use only one water outlet at a time. While showering
especially, do not open other faucets. Scalding and serious burns
may occur.
• Always drain holding tanks when they are not in use. This will
eliminate contaminants from stale water and prevent freezing
in winter.
• Traveling with full tanks will reduce the amount of available cargo
capacity in the camper and may overload your truck. Never exceed
the payload capacity of your truck.
Do not drink unsanitary water. If water
quality is unknown, do not drink.
Serious injury or in extreme cases death,
can occur.
WARNING
Use potable water only in the fresh water
system. Sanitize, flush, and drain water
tank before using. Failure to maintain
tank can result in death or serious injury.
