The plumbing systems in your motor home are<br />
constructed of durable thermoplastic materials<br />
. Holding tanks and piping components are<br />
strong, lightweight, and corrosion resistant .<br />
Holding tanks are of three types:<br />
• Fresh – Fresh potable water<br />
• Grey – Lavy/shower effluent<br />
• Black – Toilet effluent<br />
It is recommended to discharge as many fluid<br />
tanks as practical before driving .<br />
FRESH WATER SYSTEM<br />
Fresh, potable water is available from either an<br />
external “city water” hookup or on-board storage .<br />
External Fresh Water Hookup<br />
The external system is pressurized by the water<br />
system at an <strong>RV</strong> park or city water supply . The<br />
connection is located in the utility compartment<br />
on the rear left side of the motor home .<br />
To connect to pressurized city water:<br />
1 . Connect one end of a potable water hose to<br />
the <strong>RV</strong> park or city water supply . This will<br />
usually be a faucet or valve similar to your<br />
garden hose valve at home . Potable water<br />
hoses are available at <strong>RV</strong> supply stores .<br />
2 . Run the city water supply for a few seconds<br />
to clear the line . Turn off the water .<br />
3 . Attach the other end of the potable water<br />
hose to city water connection located on<br />
the motor home . Make sure all connections<br />
are tight .<br />
4 . Turn on the <strong>RV</strong> park/city water supply .<br />
Open all faucets inside the motor home to<br />
clear the lines . Then turn off faucets .<br />
PLUMBING SYSTEMS AND<br />
HOLDING TANKS<br />
External Fresh Water Connection<br />
CAUTION<br />
Since water pressures at campgrounds vary, we recom<br />
mend you install an in-line pressure regulator (if<br />
not equipped) at the water supply faucet. This will<br />
protect the motor home water system and your supply<br />
hose from excessively high water pressure.<br />
To disconnect the city water:<br />
1 . Turn OFF the city water supply .<br />
2 . Remove the hose from the city water supply<br />
valve .<br />
3 . Drain and store the hose .<br />
Filling the On-Board Water Tank<br />
The on-board fresh water tank can be filled in<br />
two ways: (1) city water pressure or (2) gravity.<br />
1 . City water pressure – When connected to<br />
the city water supply as described above,<br />
turn the bypass valve located in the utility<br />
compartment to “Water Tank Fill” from<br />
the “Normal” setting. This will fill the onboard<br />
fresh water tank .<br />
Make sure the external gravity fill connection<br />
is open (remove the cap) to allow air to<br />
escape from the on-board tank . When water<br />
just starts to flow out of this external fill, the<br />
on-board tank is full . Immediately shut the<br />
water off or turn the bypass valve to normal .<br />
After filling, turn the bypass valve to<br />
“Normal .”<br />
