8. Integrated Fresh Water Retractable Hose Reel
Your RV is equipped with an integrated fresh water
retractable hose reel. The hose reel is mounted
behind the convenience center and is located on
a drainage pan that permits any water to run out
through the bottom of the RV. Each end of the
hose reel protrudes out of the front of the
convenience center panel as shown to the right.
The total length of the hose is 65 feet. You should
have 55-60 feet of available hose to utilize. The
hose end on the left in the convenience center
is the end that can be extended and retracted.
Simply pull on the hose to extend. To retract,
lightly tug on the hose and keep any tension
o of the hose as it retracts.
The hose end on the right in the convenience
center is used to connect to either the
CITY FILL
or the
TANK FLUSH
connections.
M. DRAINING THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Before storing the RV throughout winter
months, the water system should be drained
and winterized. This should be completed for all
components of the water system including the
hot and cold-water lines, water heater, faucets,
and P-traps. Under your RV, you will notice red
and blue water lines with shut OFF valves. These
release the water within the supply lines and are
referred to as the low point drains. To drain all
water from the supply lines and fresh tank,
follow the below instructions.
