Hook up to a city water outlet and turn the water on.
CITY WATER HOOK-UP
The city water hook-up is found on the side of the trailer.
Use a high-pressure hose of at least 1/2” diameter. It
should be one that is tasteless, odorless and non-toxic designed for RV use.
The city water inlet is a standard garden hose thread. We suggest you carry two
lengths of hose. This way you have the ability to reach hookups further away
than normal, plus you have a spare hose should one fail or become damaged
unexpectedly.
After hooking up the hose and turning on the city water valve provided in the
park, slowly open a faucet. There will be a lot of spurts and sputtering until all
the air is expelled from the trailer system. If the water heater and fresh water
lines are empty it will take some time before all the air is expelled and you get
a steady flow of water at the faucet. Once a steady flow is achieved at one
faucet the others should be opened long enough to expel the air in the lines
going to them.
Your plumbing system has a built in pressure regulator to protect your lines and
faucets from extremely high pressures on some city water systems.

Fill the water tank by opening the exterior gravity feed water fill door and turn
the water pump on.
A garden hose can be inserted or use a clean bucket and funnel to fill the tank.
It’s a good idea to let the water run through a hose for a short time to flush it
out. RVers sometimes fill their tanks with “home” water to avoid strange water
that may be distasteful to them on short outings. Remember the more water
you carry in the fresh water tank, the less cargo carrying capacity you have
for other items.
The amount of water in the tank may be checked on the Monitor Panel, or you
may fill the tank until water overflows out of the fill.
Once you are hooked to city water or have the tank full and pump on, fill the
water heater by opening the hot side of one or two faucets and closing the
cold side of all faucets. For some time the open faucet will only sputter. This
is because the water heater is being filled and air is being pushed out through
the lines. Once the water heater is full, a steady stream of water will come from
the faucet.
Now open a cold faucet. It will sputter for a short time, but will soon expel a
