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. Each
component is explained along with its operation.
City Water Connection
Water may be received into the system through a direct hookup referred to as the city
water connection (Fig. 4-2). After hooking up the water hose to the travel trailer, open the
valve supply line. Enter the travel trailer and open the faucets to bleed air from lines.
Water will fill the water heater first before supplying the lines and faucets. When the
lines are almost full, you may experience some air pockets. Allow them to escape before
closing the faucets.
1
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 systems or components. A
45-pound rating is suggested. 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.
Gravity Fill Tank
A water container is permanently installed in your recreation vehicle. On some Kiwi
models, it is located inside the travel trailer, and on other units it is attached beneath the
frame.
Fills
The fresh water tank can be filled by removing the gravity fill cap (Fig. 4-1) and inserting
the garden hose. Open the water supply faucet and fill the tank. You must be careful not
to overfill the tank. This can pressurize the tank, causing leakage and water damage.
1
CAUTION: DO NOT leave the tank unattended whileit is being filled.

CLOSING THE BEDS (KIWI MODELS ONLY)
1. Slide the small bed mat onto the large bed mat. From the far side of the large bed
mat, pull the mat up to set on its edge. (Fig. 3-20)
NOTE: The small mat may need to be
lifted slightly to set on top of
any obstructions to avoid
pinching the mat when the bed
board is closed.
2. Remove the bed bow brace from the
ceiling by pushing in on the button and
pulling down. Pull the brace toward
you to remove it from the bow peg (on
the bed bow).
3. Hook up the canvas straps to the hasp
d-ring located on the ceiling.
4. Exit the travel trailer. Unsnap the sides
of the tent and fold the bed bow down to the bed board. Unsnap the end of the tent.
5. Fold in the tent onto the bed board. Important : Make sure the bed tent is pushed
in at least 1” above the side bulb seal. (Fig. 3-21)
6. Push the bed board up into position. Secure the latches or knobs to hold the bed
board into place.
1
CAUTION: If the bed does not close easily, inspect the bed cushion from the
sides looking for obstructions. Once the obstruction is located, lower the bed
board, correct the obstruction and try again.
