PLUMBING
SYSTEMS
The plumbing systems in your
motor
home are
constructed of thermoplastic
materials. Holding tanks
and piping components are strong,
light-weight,
and
corrosion-resistant.
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Fresh
water
is available from either
an
external or
"city
water"
hook up
or
on-board storage.
The
external system is pressurized by
the
park or
city
water
supply.
When
this
system is used,
the
on-
board
pump
and fresh
water
tank
are isolated from
the
pressure in the system by a check valve. Connect
the
motor
home
to
the
water
system
as
follows:
1.
Remove
the
protective cap over the
city
water
inlet. This
inlet
uses a standard garden hose
fitting.
2. Connect
the
water hose
to
the
city
water supply
line.
3. Turn
the
city
water
supply valve
ON
and
let
the
water
run a
few
seconds
to
clear
the
line.
4.
Turn
the supply
OFF
and connect the hose
to
the
motor
home inlet.
5.
Turn
the
supply
ON.
Open all faucets and let the
water run a
few
seconds
to
clear the lines. Close
faucets.
Disconnect
the
city
water
as
follows:
1.
Close the
city
water
valve.
2.
Disconnect
the
water
supply hose
from
the
motor
home inlet and replace the protective cap.
3. Fill
the
fresh
water
tank
from
city
water
supply
if
necessary.
4. Remove and store
the
hose.
The on-board fresh
water
system in your
motor
home can prQvide fresh water automatically whenever
a
faucet
is opened. The system is pressurized by a
12-volt
automatic
self-priming
pump
which
operates
any time power is
available and the pump switch is on.
The on-board
water
storage
tank
is filled through
a
special filler cap outside the
motor
home.
To
fill
the
fresh water tank open
the
spout and fill the tank
with
the
hose.
After
filling
the
tank close the spout.

WARNING:
USE ONLY POTABLE
(DRINKING
QUALITY) WATER
IN
THE TANK.
TO
INSURE CLEAR,
FRESH
WATER, DRAIN THE TANK AFTER USE.
FLUSH
AND
DRAIN
BEFORE
EACH USE
AND
SANITIZE
IF
THE TANK
IS
NEW, HAS NOT
BEEN
USED
FOR
A
MONTH
OR
MORE,
OR
BECOMES
CONTAMINATED.

Turn
the
pump
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.
Avoid leaving
water
in
the
tank
when
it
is
not
in
use.
Turn
the water pump off before draining the water
tank.
