SECTION 7
PLUMBING SYSTEMS
Fig. 7.7 Potable water only label
The fresh water connection should be
unplugged (i.e., the non-toxic drinking
water hose disconnected) when the RV is
unattended for any amount of time. If
something would happen to the water
system, this may help limit water damage
to a smaller area.
USING THE CITY FIXTURES
Use this setting if you are at a campground or
other facility where the RV can be hooked up
to an external water source.
1. If needed, sanitize the water system prior
to travel.
2. Move the “water heater bypass valve” to
the NORMAL position.
3. Remove the city water connection inlet
cap and attach a non-toxic drinking water
hose to the city water connection inlet.
4. Place the utility center valves in the “City
Fixtures” position.
5. Turn ON the water at the external water
source.
6. Enter the RV and open the cold water
supply faucets to bleed air from the water
lines. When the water lines are nearly full,
you may experience some "air pockets."
Allow them to escape before closing the
cold water supply faucets.
7. The water heater will fill first, followed by
the supply lines and faucets.
8. Turn the appropriate (12-volt or 120-volt)
water heater control switch ON.
To disconnect
9. Shut OFF the water at the external water
source.
10. Disconnect the non-toxic drinking water
hose and reinstall the city water
connection inlet cap.
USING THE CITY TANK FILL
Use this setting to fill the water tank using the
city water tank fill.
1. If needed, sanitize the water system prior
to travel.
2. Move the “water heater bypass valve” to
the NORMAL position.
3. Remove the city water connection inlet
cap and attach a non-toxic drinking water
hose to the inlet.
4. Place the utility center valves in the “City
Tank Fill” position.
5. Turn ON the water at the external water
source.
6. Water will flow into the fresh water tank.
To disconnect
During the filling process, periodically check
the fresh water tank level using the monitor
panel located in the Command Center. When
the fresh water tank is full, it is normal to see
water running from the fresh water overflow
tubes onto the ground.
7. Shut OFF the water at the external water
source.
8. Disconnect the non-toxic drinking water
hose and reinstall the city water
connection inlet cap.
USING THE COUNTRY FILL
Generally speaking, this setting is used to fill
the water tank when dry camping.
1. If needed, sanitize the water system prior
to travel.
2. Move the “water heater bypass valve” to
the NORMAL position.
3. Remove the city water connection inlet
cap and attach a short non-toxic drinking
water hose running from your container of
potable water to the city water connection
inlet.
