Fresh Water Tank Fill
Avoid leaving the water in the tank when the motor home is
not in use. Tum the water pump
OFF before draining the
water tank. Whenever possible, drain the fresh water tank
before traveling. Water in the tank will reduce the carrying
capacity of the motor home. See
Motor Home Loading sec-
tion
of
the On The Road chapter.
The main water tank
"quick-drain" valve is located on the
end
of
the fresh water tank, in the water tank compartment.
The on-board fresh water system is pressurized by a self-
priming, 12-volt DC pump. The pump operates automatically
when the pump power switch is
ON and a faucet is opened.
When the faucets are closed, the pump shuts off. At free
flow, the pump draws approximately 7
to
7'12
amps. A
20-amp fuse at the converter panel protects the pump circuit.
It
can run dry for extended periods without damage. See
Electrical Systems chapter.
Turn the pump master switch
ON
to
pressurize the system.
When a faucet is opened after the initial filling of the tank,
the water may sputter for a
few
seconds. This is normal and
is not cause for concern. The water flow will become steady
when all air is bled from the water lines.
