6. WATER/PLUMBING SYSTEM
Your motorhome is designed with fresh water, grey water, black water, and associated plumbing to handle all of the water and
waste requirements. Review this section carefully to understand each system and how they function together.
6.1 FRESH WATER SYSTEM
There are two sources for fresh water in your motorhome:
1. A water tank located within your motorhome.
2. By connecting to “city water” by means of a water hose.
Both can supply water to the sink, shower, bathroom toilet, and the water heater.
The water system built into your motorhome provides full service similar to the system used in your home. A 12 volt self-
priming pump draws water from the fresh water storage tank to all cold faucets and the water heater. An automatic pressure
switch, located in the water pump maintains a positive line pressure.
The fresh water connection is accessible from the driver’s side of the motorhome. (Figure 7-1)

6.1.1 ExTERNAL WATER SUPPLY
The external water source will supply your motorhome water system with water at city pressure when the water pump is
switched off.
1.
Connecting
a. Turn water pump switch to off.
b. Attach garden hose to city water connection. Turn the water selector valve to city water.
c. Turn on external water supply.
2. Turn the water heater bypass valves to normal to be sure that water enters the heater and hot water is available for mo-
torhome use. (See Fig 7-10)
Water from the external supply is prevented from entering the water tank and the water pump by means of a check
valve.
IMPORTANT
After connecting to the external water supply, open the faucets in your motorhome slowly and cautiously.
Air trapped in the line can cause the water to splash into the sink.
You may want to drape a washcloth over the faucet to prevent excessive splashing.
