General Care:
• Road vibrations, excessive pressure from city water sources
and improper winterization are the main physical causes of water
system damage. Inspect all plumbing joints and fittings often for
cracks and leaks. An unchecked water leak at a plumbing joint
can cause considerable water damage and costly repairs which
may not qualify for warranty coverage.
• It is possible for an electrical problem to cause water system
problems due to equipment like the pump requiring
electrical connections.
• Be sure to read the literature supplied with plumbing components
for troubleshooting tips.
• If a leak or other problem persists after troubleshooting, consult
your dealer for further inspection and repair.
MONITOR SCREEN
The main control panel, containing controls for lighting and other
equipment and located near the kitchenette, includes a screen to monitor
tank fill levels and a switch for the water pump. To see the tank fill levels,
tap the screen and a fill bar indicator will appear above each tank listed as
FRESH, BLACK and GRAY.
FRESH WATER TANK
An equipped fresh water holding tank stores water for you to use when dry
camping. Important information:
• The fresh water tank has overflow tubes connected into it that also
serve as air outlets when the tank is being filled. It is not unusual
for water to slop out of these tubes when the tank is filled.
• The tank’s water holding capacity may be higher than the amount
of water that can be pumped out of the tank and used. This is
normal due to the slight expansions of the tank when water is
inside it and the limitations of where the low point drain exits the
fresh water tank. A few gallons may be trapped inside at any
time. This can sometimes be remedied by dropping the side, front
or rear of the camper so as much water as possible flows into the
low point drain.
WATER PUMP
There are two 3-way switches for the water pump. One is located on the
nuCamp monitor panel and the other on the Nautilus Plumbing Control
panel. Either one can be used to control the pump. When the pump is
turned on it will run until the line is pressurized to about 45 PSI. The water
pump can be accessed under the dinette close to the shower wall. Refer to
the Water Pump Owner’s manual for detailed operating instructions.
Initial Start-up process and normal operation:
1. Make sure the fresh water tank is filled.
2. Place the pump control switch in the ON position.
3. Open all water outlets, both hot and cold, one by one.
Water holding tanks should always be
completely drained when camper is not
in use. Damage or unsanitary conditions
may occur when water becomes stale or
freezes.
