Section 8: Plumbing System
Pump and water heater bypass locations will vary accord-
ing to the model. Locate the pump by turning it on briefly
and listening for it to run. Locate the water heater vent on
outside of the RV and the water heater bypass valves will
be in the same location. They are typically located inside
the RV behind a panel or inside a cabinet.
Fresh Water Connection Inlet
The fresh water connection should be unplugged (i.e.,
the non-toxic drinking water hose disconnected) when
the recreation vehicle is unattended for any amount of time. If something would hap-
pen to the water system, this may help limit water damage to a smaller area.
1. Water heater bypass valves should be set to NORMAL (refer to the 2-Valve Water
Heater Bypass section). Make sure the water heater drain plug is in place on the water
heater. Bypass valve handles should point toward the water heater.
2. Set the blue CITY WATER / TANK FILL valve (on utility center) to the CITY WA-
TER (vertical) position (pointing down).
3. Make sure both water valves at the water pump are in the
NORMAL
positions (see
water valve configurations).
4. Attach a fresh water hose to the fresh water connection inlet on the panel. Attach the
other end of the hose to a pressurized fresh water source.
5. Turn on the pressurized water to supply fresh water at all fixtures inside the recreation
vehicle. The 12V pump is not used for this feature.
6. Open the cold water supply faucets to bleed air from the water lines. When the water
lines are nearly full, you may experience some "air pockets". Allow these to escape
before closing the cold water supply faucets.
7. The water heater will fill first, followed by the supply lines and faucets. Open the hot
water faucets until air is bled off and the water is a steady stream. Close faucet.
NOTE: If needed sanitize the water system prior to travel.
NOTE: The country fill and sanitizing/winterizing functions are performed
from a pair of (2) two way valves plumbed inside the RV; a black valve on
the suction line, and a white valve that directs water to the fixtures or the
water tank.
Never leave the recreation vehicle unattended while filling the fresh water
system. Water running continuously while the RV is unattended can result in
major water damage to RV which will not be covered under your warranty.
WATCH YOUR MONITOR PANEL – LEDs will indicate your water
tank level as it fills.
