FRESH WATER SYSTEM
The Fresh Water System provides water to the
galley sink, shower, bathroom lavatory, and
toilet. Water may be supplied by either of two
sources:
•
A fresh water tank and water pump located
within the motorhome, or
•
Any external fresh water source to which the
motorhome may be connected, known as “city
water”.
There are two ways to fill the fresh water tank
on your motorhome - City Fill or Gravity Fill.
Water Pressure Regulators
Because city water pressure varies from
location to location, we recommend obtaining an
in-line water pressure regulator to prevent
damage to any components, connections, and
seals in your fresh water system.
These devices simply connect in-line between
the supply hose and the city water input on the
motorhome. We recommend regulators that
control water pressure to
50 psi. max
.
Water pressure regulators are commonly
available at most RV dealerships and many large
retail discount or home supply centers.
Method 1 - Filling the Fresh Water
Tank Through City Fill Connection
Always fill the fresh water tank at an approved
potable water filling facility or a known purified
drinking water source.
The tank is filled through the City Water
Connection (Fresh Water Inlet) located inside the
water service center.
The Fresh Water valve (located in the water
service center) routes the water from the city
water hose to the fresh water tank for filling.
1. Attach hose from a city water faucet to the
Fresh Water Inlet.
2. Turn the Fresh Water valve to the Tank Fill
position.
WARNING
Potable water only.
Sanitize, flush, and drain water tank
before using.
See owner’s manual for instructions,
care, and maintenance information.
Failure to maintain tank can result in
death or serious injury.
