The fresh water tank can be filled by pressure
filling through the fresh water inlet (called city
water) or by gravity fill. There are plastic
overflow tubes plumbed into the fresh water
holding tank. They allow water to flow out of
the water tank. Occasionally, you may see
water coming from the overflow tubes (located
underneath the RV) when the fresh water
holding tank is filled. This is normal, and is
caused by external circumstances, including
the RV being parked on an incline, or the
motion caused by starting or stopping the RV
during travel.
Do not cap, block or modify the fresh water
tank overflow tubes in any way. Enough water
pressure can build up during the filling
process to damage the plumbing system if the
overflow tubes are obstructed.

Excessive pressure from water supply
systems may be encountered in some parks,
especially in mountain regions. Water
pressure regulators are available to protect
your system against such high pressure. A
regulator of this type is recommended to
prevent damage to the plumbing system or
components. Water pressure regulators
(customer supplied) are available from your
Dealer to protect the RV plumbing system
against such high pressure.

Once activated, the water pump (also known
as the on-demand pump) will self-prime, and
provide water. The water pump continues to
run until approximately 45 lbs. of pressure is
achieved and shut off. The water pump will
automatically re-start when pressure drops.
Some cycling may occur, depending on the
volume of water being released. The water
pump is engineered by the OEM with a check
valve to prevent water from back flowing into
the fresh water supply tank
The water pump switch should be in the
OFF position when the RV is left
unattended for any amount of time. If
something would happen to the water
system, this may help limit water damage
to a smaller area.
Dry camping
When you want to use water in your RV and
the RV is not hooked up to city water, you will
need sufficient 12-volt DC power to run the
water pump. The switch to operate the water
pump is located on the monitor panel or an
interior wall
Maintenance
Periodically check
the in-line water
pump strainer for
accumulated
debris. To clean,
shut off the water
pump, unscrew
the clear cap,
remove the re-
useable metal
strainer and clear
any debris, then reinstall.

The water heater is designed to heat water
quickly and efficiently. The water heater
manufacturer has preset the sensing limit to
maintain the water temperature when the
Not using a water pressure regulator when
using city water may cause the o-rings to
fail. To prevent damage to the plumbing
system or components when using the city
water connection, a water pressure
regulator rated for 40 lbs. is recommended.
Fig. 7.1 Water pump strainer
Do not replace any component part with an
accessory part that is not authorized by the
water heater manufacturer, such as an
“add-on” electric heating element. Such
items are not approved to be installed and
could create an unsafe condition and will
void all warranties.
