WATER SYSTEMS -
INTRODUCTION
This section contains information
about the water system. Optional
water equipment will also be
discussed, so not all information
may be applicable to each
motorhome. In-depth information,
other than what is found in this
section, is located in the OEM
manuals in the owner information
box.
Water Consumption:
If new to a motorhome, habits
must be adjusted otherwise water
does not last long. For example,
less water can be used for
showering if the shower is turned
off while soaping down, then
turned back on to rinse. Plenty of
water will be available to meet
personal needs once habits are
adjusted.
Plumbing Overview:
The motorhome plumbing
system can be operated
independantly of shore services.
The plumbing system holding
tanks include a fresh water tank, a
grey water (liquid waste) tank and
a black water (solid waste) tank.
Sinks, shower and washer machine
drain into the grey tank and the
toilet(s) drains into the black tank.
An onboard fresh water pump will
supply all faucets and toilets with
water from the fresh tank. Close
monitoring of the holding tanks is
necessary when not connected to
shore services.
Water Service Center:
The motorhome plumbing
system can be attached to shore
services (city water and sewer) at
the roadside water service center.
The service center includes
the city water/fresh tank ll
connection and the grey and black
tank valves, drains and tank ush
connections. If shore services are
available, the shore water supply
(city water) is used to pressurize
the water system and the onboard
water pump can be turned off.
The grey and black tanks share
a common termination drain. A
sewer hose connects between the
termination drain and the shore
sewer port. It is recommended to
leave the black tank drain valve
closed and the grey tank drain
valve open when hooked to shore
services to avoid a clogged sewer
hose. Drain and ush the grey and
black tanks after dumping and/or
prior to departure.
Fresh Water System:
The fresh water system consists
of a fresh water tank, water pump,
pressure regulator, gravity ll
connection, water lter, city water/
fresh tank ll connection and a
potable water hose. For sanitary
purposes, proper care of the hose
is necessary. After each use,
drain and coil the potable water
hose. Attach the ends of the hose
together to keep out dirt, debris
and insects.
WARNING:
Water is electrically
conductive. Do not use any
electrically powered item
or electrical outlet that
may be exposed to a water
source. Such use can result
in a serious shock, causing
injury or death.
Waste Water System:
The waste water system consists
of a liquid waste holding tank
(grey water), sewage holding tank
(black water), ush system, toilet,
sewer hose and drains.
