There are two different water systems in your recreation vehicle:
The fresh water system consists of the fresh water holding tank, fresh water connections,
water pump, outside shower assembly (if so equipped), water heater, faucets, tub/
shower, and water purication system (if so equipped).
The waste water system consists of the waste water holding tank, sewage holding tank,
drains and toilet.

Check all ttings, pressure and waste, for leaks before each trip or before vehicle
storage as part of your normal maintenance:
Inspect all faucets, the water purication system (optional) and sink connections
(including drain baskets or lters).
Inspect connections at the water pump and water heater.
At the end of every trip, you should drain any unused water from the fresh water system.
All water contains contaminant and mineral particles that can cause fresh water system
odors. Untreated well water is a major source of water system odors.
The fresh water (or potable water) system needs periodic sanitization and winterization
to take care of all the components within the plumbing system and help discourage the
growth of bacteria and other organisms that can contaminate the water supply.
Typically, there are labels afxed to the exterior of the recreation vehicle sidewall that
indicate the locations of the water system drains and lls. Be aware some drain valves may
be located inside the vehicle (once the exterior label is found, go inside to nd the drain
corresponding location).
Monitor pAnel (if so equipped)
Depending on your model, the monitor panel may be located on an interior wall or on the
exterior utility center. The monitor panel allows you to monitor the fresh water, grey water,
black water and auxiliary battery levels. These functions are controlled using the “tact”
switches located on the monitor panel faceplate. The monitor panel operates on 12-volt DC
power supplied by either the converter or auxiliary battery. No power is drawn from the
battery unless a switch is pushed or turned ON. Fuses for the monitor panel are located in
the load center. Refer to the manufacturer’s operators manual for additional information.
