SYSTEMS
WATER AND DRAINAGE PLUMBING
Your OPEN RANGE RV COMPANY recreational vehicle has a complete
water system, to carry fresh water, as well as holding tanks for used water.
Each group has its own explanation along with its own operation.
Tanks
Water containers are installed under the coach between frame members
and protected with a cover.
Filling Fresh Water System
To place water in to your coach fresh water system use one of these
methods:
1. City Water Fill (Figure 1): Water may be received into
the system through a direct hook-up referred to as
a “city water fill.” After attaching a hose to hook-up
and supply line, open the faucet from the supply line.
Enter the coach and open any faucet to relieve air
from the lines. The water heater will fill first before the
supply lines. You will experience some air pockets.
Allow them to escape before closing faucets.
2. There is no standard gravity water fill for storage tank. Near the
city water fill there is a fresh water tank fill connection hose. Follow
instructions below:
T – Pressurized Fresh Tank Fill
P – 12 Volt Water Pump
C – City Water Fill
V1 – Regulates siphon hose. Should
be closed except to draw in water,
sanitizing solution or antifreese
V2 – Closes line from tank to pump.
Close to sanitize and winterize.
Open for normal operation.
V3 – Used to sanitize water tank. Open
to sanitize or fill water tank from
siphon hose. Close for normal
operation and winterizing.
