CONSUMPTION WITH THE SELF-CONTAINED SYSTEM
It is hard to realize just how much water we use every day in normal home use. Newcomers may discover that the
water supply does not last long unless procedures for consumption are adjusted.
You can drastically reduce water used for showers by first wetting down and turning off the shower head, soaping
yourself, and turning on the shower to rinse off.
Another tip is, when hand washing dishes, do not let the rinse water run while you wash one dish at a time and
rinse. Wash several, turn the water on and rinse. Then turn it off and wash more. Once you put these types of
practices into use you will find that there should be enough water to meet your need.
It is very important that you read the manufacturer’s instructions for operations, use and the maintenance
of the fresh-water tank.
TO FILL THE FRESHWATER TANK
Find the fluids control center in the outside compartment. You will find a ball
valve located next to the words
tank fill.
Rotate the handle until it points to the
words
tank fill.
Find the loose hose end at the bottom of the fluids control plate. Remove the
protective cap, connect your fill hose to the loose hose and begin filling your
fresh-water tank.
NOTE:
The fresh-water tank has an overflow pipe that will discharge excess water.
If you see water running from the bottom of your coach shut the fill line off
immediately, your tank is full.
If you have not used your water system for a while, you may have air in the
plumbing lines which may need to be purged.
TO PURGE LINES
Open all the faucets one at a time, both hot and cold, let the water flow until
it flows without sputtering
.
To help avoid contamination of the hoses used for your water source and to fill your
fresh-water tank, hoses should be cleaned. Do not use hose for anything else. All
fresh-water accessories should be kept away from grey and black water accessories.
DRAINING THE TANK
We suggest you drain the fresh-water tank at the end of each camping trip, or anytime
the tank is unused for more than a week, and before and after storage and/or
winterizing.
It is important to make sure the lines and the water heater are also drained to
prevent bacteria from growing.

allow the water to drain.
2
