6.  Open all faucets, including the outside 

shower faucet. 

7.  Make sure your “water heater bypass” 

valve is open. 

8.  Relieve the water pressure using the P&T 

valve BEFORE removing the water heater 
drain plug. Otherwise, if there is any water 
pressure present the water will spray out 
of the opening when the drain plug is 
removed. 

When you are finished draining the fresh 
water system, reverse these steps and dump 
the grey and black water holding tanks at an 
appropriate facility or according to local public 
codes.

The following information defines the function 
of the utility center settings indicated on the 
utility center label: 

City Fixtures

 - This setting allows you to 

access water at all faucets using city water.  

City Tank Fill

 - This setting allows you to fill 

your fresh water tank using city water. 

Country Fill

 - This setting allows you to fill 

your fresh water tank (using the 12-volt water 
pump) when you do not have access to city 
water. 

Normal

 - If the RV is not connected to city 

water, this setting allows you to pump water 
from the fresh water tank to all faucets using 
the 12-volt water pump. 

Sanitize/Winterize Lines

 – This setting 

allows you to sanitize or winterize your fresh 
water system. 

Sanitize Tank

 – This setting allows you to 

sanitize the fresh water tank. 

 

Fig. 8.5 Utility center label 

The city water connection inlet is located on 
an exterior sidewall. We recommend that you 
use a non-toxic drinking water hose dedicated 
only to supplying the RV with fresh water (to 
reduce the chance of contamination, prevent 
the non-toxic drinking water hose from coming 
into contact with the ground). Install the city 
water connection inlet cap when the fresh 
water connection is not being used. Do not 
remove the following label from your RV: 

 

Fig. 8.6 Potable water only label 

The fresh water connection should be 
unplugged (i.e., the non-toxic drinking 
water hose disconnected) when the RV is 
unattended for any amount of time. If 
something would happen to the water 
system, this may help limit water damage 
to a smaller area.

Use this setting if you are at a campground or 
other facility where the RV can be hooked up 
to an external water source.

to travel.
