• If cable service is provided, hook-up a 75 Ohm RG59 or RG6 cable to the cable connection in the service
center.
• A phone connection port is provided in the service center. Phone utility outlets are placed throughout the
motorhome, including a phone line attached to the satellite receiver for Pay-Per-View movies and events.
• Hook the potable water hose to the city water connection in the service center. Install a water pressure
regulator to protect water hose from excess pressure. Turn hand valve so the pointer indicates “city water.”
NOTE:
A water pressure regulator attached
between the city water faucet and the
potable fresh water hose will protect the
hose from swelling or bursting under high
city water pressure. Securing the pressure
regulator to the hose with pliers will
prevent the regulator from being misplaced.
• Hook-up the sewer hose. Sewer drain pipe
diameters are generally either three or four
inches. Proper sewer hose adapters will ensure
against leaks or spillage. With the sewer hose
properly connected open the grey water valve
(small valve). The black water valve (large valve)
remains closed until the tank is full or until time
of departure.
DRY CAMPING
When choosing a location that does not have electrical, water or sewage hook ups, plan ahead and conserve
resources for a successful dry camping trip. Below are some suggestions. Before arriving at the site ensure
batteries are fully charged and properly maintained (see
Section 8
in
Batteries - House
under “ Battery
Maintenance ”), the fresh water tank and water heater are full and waste holding tanks are empty.
To conserve water and fuel:
• At the site operate the refrigerator on LP-Gas. Plan what is needed from the refrigerator prior to opening.
Conserve LP-Gas by cooking over a campfi re.
• When hot water is needed, operate the water heater on gas or diesel. Turn the system on about twenty
minutes prior to use. Once heated, water will remain hot for several hours. Turn the system off when not
in use.
• When interior heat is needed set the thermostat temperature slightly lower than desired to prevent
frequent cycling of the heating system.
• Know the tank capacities and routinely check fl uid levels, especially during cold weather.
• Open windows during the day to reduce use of the roof air conditioner.
• Frequently monitor water consumption. Limit shower usage; turn water off when soaping down, and
back on to rinse. When water conservation is critical, take a sponge bath or use campground shower
facilities, if available. Do not fi ll the sink with water to wash only a few dishes. Use disposable dishes
when possible.
• Evacuate waste holding tanks prior to fi lling fresh water tank.
