Utilities
Just like your house, your Roadtrek has fresh water, electricity, wastewater disposal, heating, and
cooling systems. In the Roadtrek, these systems are self-contained and travel with you
Fresh Water
The gravity fill is located on the front passenger door post, near the door handle. Open the door and
look for the orange plug. (Picture 37.1) Remove this plug, fill with a hose from any safe water source
until it overflows out the fill opening. There is also an overflow tube attached to the top tank which will
vent excess water out underneath the front passenger side of the vehicle as the tank reaches capacity.

Fresh water gravity fill
Your Roadtrek can operate in either fully self-contained mode or can be connected to a water supply such as a campsite's faucet.
Campgrounds and municipalities vary greatly in supplied water pressure. The freshwater city connector that is supplied with your Roadtrek,
has a built-in regulator for your use.
If you have any doubts about water pressure or don't have a regulator with you, you can always just fill your freshwater tank using the
gravity fill and use your water pump to supply water. Our freshwater city connection has a built-in regulator.
The city water connection is on the left of the front compartment at the bottom along the driver's side of the vehicle. Unscrew the white plastic plug
and use your pressure regulator and hose to connect your Roadtrek to the water source. Remember to disconnect and store the hose before
driving. (Pictures 38.2, 38.3)
Roadtrek recommends that you use a dedicated single purpose potable-water hose. These are usually white in color. Buy a new one and
use it only for filling your tanks and connecting to city water. View any hose lying around a campground with extreme skepticism, especially
if there's a wastewater dump nearby. Large RVs use hoses to flush their wastewater system.
