Section 8: Plumbing System
Plumbing System
There are two different water systems in your recreation vehicle:
 The fresh water system consists of the fresh water holding tank, faucets and con-
nections, water pump, outside shower assembly (if so equipped), water heater, tub/
shower, and water purification system (if so equipped).
 The waste water system consists of the waste water and sewage holding tank(s),
drains and toilet.
Plumbing System Maintenance
 Check all fittings, pressure and waste, for leaks before each trip or before vehicle
storage as part of your normal maintenance:
 Inspect all faucets, the water purification system (if so equipped) and sink connec -
tions (including drain baskets or filters).
 Inspect connections at the water pump and water heater.
 At the end of every trip, you should drain any unused water from the fresh water
system.
 All water contains contaminant and mineral particles that can cause fresh water
system odors. Untreated well water is a major source of water system odors.
 The fresh water (potable water) system needs periodic sanitization and winter-
ization to take care of all the components within the plumbing system and help
discourage the growth of bacteria and other organisms that can contaminate the
water supply.
Typically, there are labels affixed to the exterior of the recreation vehicle sidewall that in -
dicate the locations of the water system drains and fills. Be aware some drain valves may
be located inside the vehicle (once the exterior label is found, go inside to find the drain
corresponding location).
Refer to the manufacturer’s operating manual included in your warranty packet for the de-
tailed operating, sanitizing, and winterizing information for each water system component.
Monitor Panel
Monitor panel locations may vary by model. Typical loca-
tions are on the command center panel, on an interior wall,
or on the exterior utility center. In certain RVs there may be
a touch screen system which monitors tank levels electroni-
cally and levels are displayed on one of the selectable screens
on the touch screen system.
The monitor panel allows you to monitor the fresh water, grey
water, black water and auxiliary battery levels. These func-
tions are controlled using the tact switches. It operates on
12-volt DC power supplied by either the converter or auxil-
iary battery. No power is drawn from the battery unless a
switch is pushed or turned ON. Fuses for the monitor panel
are located in the load center. Refer to the manufacturer’s opera-
tors manual for additional information.
NOTE: If your RV has secondary black or gray tanks, there may also
be an additional tank monitor. located elsewhere in your RV. It is typically
labeled as a convenience center.
