Section 8: Plumbing System

Plumbing System
There are two different water systems in your recreation vehicle:
The fresh water system consists of the fresh water holding tank, faucets and con-
nections, water pump, outside shower assembly (if so equipped), water heater, tub/
shower, and water purification system (if so equipped).
The waste water system consists of the waste water and sewage holding tank(s),
drains and toilet.
Plumbing System Maintenance
Check all fittings, pressure and waste, for leaks before each trip or before vehicle
storage as part of your normal maintenance:
Inspect all faucets, the water purification system (if so equipped) and sink connec
-
tions (including drain baskets or filters).
Inspect connections at the water pump and water heater.
At the end of every trip, you should drain any unused water from the fresh water
system.
All water contains contaminant and mineral particles that can cause fresh water
system odors. Untreated well water is a major source of water system odors.
The fresh water (potable water) system needs periodic sanitization and winter-
ization to take care of all the components within the plumbing system and help
discourage the growth of bacteria and other organisms that can contaminate the
water supply.
Typically, there are labels affixed to the exterior of the recreation vehicle sidewall that in
-
dicate the locations of the water system drains and fills. Be aware some drain valves may
be located inside the vehicle (once the exterior label is found, go inside to find the drain
corresponding location).
Refer to the manufacturer’s operating manual included in your warranty packet for the de-
tailed operating, sanitizing, and winterizing information for each water system component.
Fresh Water System
All water contains contaminants and mineral particles that can cause fresh water system
odors. Untreated well water is a major source of water system odors. The fresh water (po-
table water) system needs periodic sanitization to all the components in the plumbing system
to discourage the growth of bacteria and other organisms that can contaminate the water
supply.
Utility Center
Your motor home is equipped with a utility center to assist you in using the fresh water
system more effectively. The utility is located in the access door on the front of the (driver
side) sofa base.
Water valve settings indicated on the utility center label:
City Fixtures
- Allows you to access water from all faucets using a pressurized water source
(referred to from here on as “city water”).
DO NOT drink water deemed microbiologically unsafe or of unknown
quality.
Never travel with full fresh, black or grey water holding tanks.
