•
• The city water connection by-passes the water pump and fresh water tank. Therefore, the use of these items is not
necessary when connected directly to an external water source.

To disconnect the city water connection:
•
• Turn off the external water source.
•
• Open a faucet to relieve the pressure in the system. Failure to
do so will not damage your vehicle, but may result in an
unexpected shower when you disconnect the hose. The rear
drain just behind the city water connection is a good place for
this.
•
• Make sure the the city tank fill valve is closed (handle
vertical).
•
• Remove the hose from the city water connection, and replace
the cap on the fill connection.
•
• Disconnect the hose from the supply faucet and stow it in your
storage compartment. Connecting the ends is a handy way to
prevent dirt or other contaminants from entering the hose
while stored.
If you hear your pump running and water pressure is
low inside the vehicle after disconnecting from an external
water source, it is because you have not properly positioned
the city water valve. Make sure the black plastic handle is vertical, and perpendicular to the water line when your water
system is in self-contained mode.
