The “ELECTRIC” water heater switch enables
electric operation of the water heater.
FRESH WATER HOLDING TANK
The fresh water tank can be filled by pressure
filling through the fresh water inlet (called city
water) or by gravity fill. There are plastic
overflow tubes plumbed into the fresh water
holding tank. They allow water to flow out of
the water tank. Occasionally, you may see
water coming from the overflow tubes (located
underneath the RV) when the fresh water
holding tank is filled. This is normal, and is
caused by external circumstances, including
the RV being parked on an incline, or the
motion caused by starting or stopping the RV
during travel.
Do not cap, block or modify the fresh water
tank overflow tubes in any way. Enough water
pressure can build up during the filling process
to damage the plumbing system if the overflow
tubes are obstructed.
FRESH WATER CONNECTIONS
There are two types of direct exterior fresh
water connections in your RV: city water and
gravity fill.
To use the city water fill
1. If needed, sanitize the water system.
2. Move the "water heater bypass valve" to
the NORMAL position.
3. Remove the connection cap and attach a
garden hose to the inlet.
4. Turn ON the water at the water source.
5. Enter the RV and open the cold water
supply faucets to bleed air from the water
lines.
6. The water heater will fill first, followed by
the supply lines and faucets.
When the water lines are nearly full, you
may experience some “air pockets.” Allow
them to escape before closing the cold
water supply faucets.
The fresh water connection should be
unplugged (i.e., the garden hose
disconnected) when the RV is left
unattended for any amount of time. If
something would happen to the water
system, this may help limit water damage
to a smaller area.
To disconnect the city water fill
7. Shut OFF the water at the water source.
8. Disconnect the garden hose and reinstall
the connection cap.
To reduce the chance of contamination,
prevent the garden hose from coming into
contact with the ground. Reinstall the
connection cap when the fresh water
connection is not being used. Do not remove
the following label from your RV:
