PLUMBING
SYSTEMS
AND
HOLDING
TANKS
The plumbing systems in your motor home are
constructed
of
durable thermoplastic materials.
Holding tanks and piping components are
strong, lightweight, and corrosion resistant.
Holding tanks are
of
three types:
•
Fresh
- Fresh potable water
•
Grey
- Lavy/shower effluent
• Black - Toilet effluent
It
is recommended to discharge as many fluid
tanks
as
practical before driving.
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Fresh, potable water is available from either an
extemal
"city water" hookup or on-board storage.
External Fresh Water Hookup
The extemal system is pressurized by the water
system at an RV park or city water supply. The
connection is located in the utility compartment
on the rear left side
of
the motor home.
To
connect to pressurized city water:
1.
Connect one end
of
a potable water hose to
the
RV
park or city water supply. This will
usually be a faucet or valve similar to your
garden hose valve at home. Potable water
hoses are available at RV supply stores.
2. Run the city water supply for a few sec-
onds to clear the line. Tum off the water.
3. Attach the other end
of
the potable water
hose to city water connection located on
the motor home. Make sure all connections
are tight.
4.
Tum on the RV park/city water supply.
Open all faucets inside the motor home to
clear the lines. Then turn off faucets.

CAUTION
Since water pressures at campgrounds vary, we rec-
ommend you install
an
in-line pressure regulator (if
not equipped) at the water
supply faucet. This will pro-
tect the motor home water system and your supply
hose from excessively high water pressure.
To
disconnect the city water:
1.
Tum OFF the city water supply.
2.
Remove the hose from the city water supply
valve.
3. Drain and store the hose.
Filling the On-Board Water Tank
The on-board fresh water
tank
can be filled in
two ways:
(1)
city water pressure
or
(2)
gravity.
1.
City water pressure - When connected to
the city water supply as described above,
tum the bypass valve located
in
the utility
compattment to
"Water Tank Fill" from the
"Normal" setting. This will fill the on-
board fresh water tank.
Make sure the extemal gravity fill connec-
tion is open (remove the cap) to allow air
to escape from the on-board tank. When
water flows out
of
this extemal fill, the on-
board tank is full.
After filling, tum the bypass valve to
"Normal,"
