Plumbing System
There are two dierent water systems in your recreation vehicle:
The fresh water system consists of the fresh water holding tank, faucets and con-
nections, water pump, outside shower assembly (if so equipped), water heater, tub/
shower, and water purication system (if so equipped).
The waste water system consists of the wastewater and sewage holding tank(s),
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 (if so equipped) and sink connec-
tions (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 (potable water) system needs periodic sanitization and winter-
ization 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 axed to the exterior of the recreation vehicle sidewall that in-
dicate 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).
Refer to the manufacturer’s operating manual included in your warranty packet for the de-
tailed operating, sanitizing, and winterizing information for each water system component.
Monitor Panel
Monitor panel locations may vary by model. Typical loca-
tions are on the command center panel, on an interior wall, or
on the exterior utility center. Some models may be equipped
with a touch screen system that monitors tank levels electron-
ically. 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. It op-
erates on 12-volt DC power supplied by either the converter
or auxiliary battery. No power is drawn from the battery un-
less a switch is pushed or turned ON. Fuses for the monitor
panel are located in the load center. Refer to the manufactur-
er’s operators manual for additional information.
Press only one tact switch at a time. As you push either the FRESH, BLK GREY1 or GREY2
switch, one or more LED lights will illuminate (from left to right) indicating the content
If your RV has secondary black or gray tanks, there may be an
additional tank monitor. It is typically labeled as a convenience center.
