CITY WATER CONNECTION
Water may be received into the system through a direct hookup referred to as the city
water connection. (Fig. 4-2 or 4-3) After hooking up water hose to travel trailer, open
valve on supply line. Enter coach and open faucets to bleed air from lines. Water will fill
water heater first before supplying lines and faucets. When lines are almost full, you may
experience some air pockets. Allow them to escape before closing faucets.

CAUTION: Excessive pressure from water supply systems may be encoun
tered in some parks, especially in mountain regions. Water pressure regula-
tors are available to protect your system against such high pressure. A regulator of
this type is recommended to prevent damage to plumbing system or components.
Not using a water pressure regulator when using city water may cause the o-rings to
blow. It is advisable to always use a water pressure regulator when using the city
water connection.
WATER TANK – GRAVITY FILL
A water container is permanently installed in your recreation vehicle. On some models it
is located inside the travel trailer under a bed, dinette, or sofa. Other models may have an
external tank under the floor between frame members. To fill the tank, there are two types
of gravity fill connections to the fresh water tank. Fig. 4-1 is the type found on most
models. Fig. 4-2 has a combination of gravity fill and city water connection enclosed
which requires a key to gain access.
The fresh water tank can be filled by removing the gravity fill cap and inserting a garden
hose. Open faucet from water supply and fill tank. You must be careful not to over fill
tank. This can pressurize the tank, causing leakage and water damage.

CAUTION : DO NOT leave tank unattended while filling.
CHAPTER 4
THE SYSTEMS
PLUMBING SYSTEM
Included in your Jayco recreation vehicle is a complete fresh water system. Fresh water
may be obtained through two sources: city water connection or gravity fill tank. The
following pages describe the components of the plumbing system.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
A fire extinguisher is installed in each vehicle and is located near the entrance door in
the travel trailer. Be familiar with its location and operating instructions as printed on the
extinguisher. It’s too late to become familiar with an extinguisher when an emergency is
at hand.
The fire extinguisher is a dry chemical, nonrefillable extinguisher. Do not test this
extinguisher by partially discharging. Doing so will cause loss of pressure making the
extinguisher unusable. The extinguisher must be discarded and replaced by a new one if
any use has occurred.
Inspection and Maintenance
To insure that your fire extinguisher will be ready when needed:
• Read and follow all instructions on label and in owner’s manual.
• Inspect the extinguisher AT LEAST once a month - more frequently if exposed to
weather or possible tampering.
• Check pressure by pressing in white indicator button. If button does not spring back,
extinguisher will not work properly and must be discarded.
• Be sure the yellow lock pin is firmly in place.
• Keep the extinguisher clean. Check for dents, scratches, corrosion or any other dam-
age.
• Check the discharge nozzle. Make sure it is clean and free of obstructions.

CAUTION: Under certain fire and heat conditions, the dry chemical powder
in this extinguisher (and similar units) will cause damage or prove extremely
difficult to remove from oven surfaces, including self-cleaning models. Do not use
self-cleaning feature to remove ABC Powder.
1
CAUTION: Avoid inhaling the dry chemical agent. The agent contained in
this extinguisher is not toxic, but may cause skin irritation. In case of contact,
flush affected area with clean, cool water. If irritation persists, contact a physician
immediately. Chemical name of agent is printed on extinguisher label.
