FRESH WATER SYSTEM
The Fresh Water System provides water to the
galley sink, shower, bathroom lavatory, and
toilet. Water may be supplied by either of two
sources:
•
A fresh water tank located within the motor
home, or
•
Any external water source to which the motor
home may be connected, known as “city
water”.
Water Pressure Regulators
Because city water pressure varies from
location to location, we recommend obtaining an
in-line water pressure regulator to prevent
damage to any components, connections, and
seals in your fresh water system.
These devices simply connect in-line between
the supply hose and the city water input on the
coach. We recommend regulators that control
water pressure to
50 psi. max
.
Water pressure regulators are commonly
available at most RV dealerships and many large
retail discount or home supply centers.
Filling the Fresh Water Tank
Always fill the fresh water tank at an approved
potable water filling facility or a known purified
drinking water source.
The tank is filled through the city water
connection (Fresh Water Inlet), water hose reel
(if equipped), or the fresh water fill port on the
water tank itself (remove carpeted panel in first
passenger side compartment to access).
The Fresh Water valve routes the water from
the city water hose to the fresh water tank for
filling.
1. Attach a hose from a city water faucet to the
city water connector (Fresh Water Inlet) in the
water service center or the fresh water fill port
on the water tank itself (remove carpeted
panel in first passenger side compartment to
access), or pull a sufficient amount of hose
from the water hose reel (if equipped) and
attach to an external city water faucet.
2. Turn the Fresh Water valve to TANK FILL
position.
