8. Continue filling the entire water system with clean water and run water through all facets until the
bleach odor is no longer present.
9. Fill the water system one more time followed by a final draining of the tanks.
10. Replace the water filter if so equipped.
11. The system is now ready for normal use. Connection to city water You may bypass the fresh water
tank and connect a garden hose directly to the exterior water fill which is threaded to accept a garden
hose. This method will bypass the fresh water tank and pump and will use the garden hose pressure to
supply water to faucets. Typically this is the preferred water use method when in an improved
campground
.
Water heater
The water heater in your trailer is fueled by propane with a 12-volt electronic ignition switch. Your water
heater may also be equipped with a 120-volt electric heater element for use when connect to 120-volt
shore power. NOTICE The water heater must be completely filled with water prior to turning on the
propane or the electric heater element. Even momentary operation of the electric heater without
submersion in water will burn out the 120-volt heater element. Element failure is not covered under any
warranty terms. WATER HEATER PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE Your water heater is equipped with a pressure
relieve valve which is located behind the exterior access door. This valve will open when excess pressure
or temperature is reached. Due to the smaller size of the water heater tank, slight dripping of the
pressure valve is normal due to water expansion when heating the water. One can minimize the
dripping by creating or replenishing an air pocket at the top of the tank using the following the
procedure list below.
1. Turn off the water heater
2. Turn off the water supply (if connected to city water) otherwise, turn off the water pump.
3. Open the Pressure Relief Valve by lifting up on the lever at top of relief valve. Relief valve is to remain
open until water stops flowing. Caution: protect yourself from the hot water following from the valve as
scalds and burn could occur.
4. Allow the valve to snap closed and turn on water pump or water supply and allow the system to refill.
This procedure will allow formation of a small air pocket at the top of tank. This air pocket will assist in
absorbing the expansion of water during future uses of the water heater. The water heater must be
drained when placed in storage or when subjected to freezing conditions. A water heater failure due to
freezing is considered misuse or abuse and is not covered under any warranty. Please see the water
heater owner’s manual supplied with the RV for further operating, use, and care instruction. WATER
HEATER BYPASS VALVE Your trailer may be equipped with a water heater bypass valve system. This is a
system of three valves located at rear of water heater accessible from inside the trailer. There will be a
valve on the top (hot output) water line, a valve at the bottom (cold inlet) in addition to one valve
located between the hot and cold lines. The purpose of this bypass system is the allow winterization of
the water system without filling the entire water heater with antifreeze. Closed Open Open Closed Valve
position for normal use. Valve position for water heater bypass Normal valve position Center valve is
closed with top and bottom valve open 39 Winterization (bypass) position of the valves: Close top and
bottom valve and open center valve. This position connects the hot and cold lines together and bypasses
the water heater. Note: always check the positioning of the water heater bypass valves if at any time if
the water heater is running but no hot water is available. The problem may be easily solved with proper
placement of the valves.
