WATER SYSTEMS - INTRODUCTION
This section contains information about the operation and care of the various water system equip-
ment found in the motorhome. Optional water equipment will also be discussed, so not all information
may be applicable to the motorhome. More detailed information with CAUTION or WARNING instruc-
tions for the various equipment, other than what is found in this section, can be found in the manufac-
turer’s manual in the owner information box.
It is hard to imagine how much water is used by the average person. Newcomers to a self-contained
motorhome soon discover water does not last long unless consumption is drastically reduced. For
example, less water can be used for showering if the shower is turned off while soaping down, then
turned back on to rinse. This way a good shower uses a couple gallons of water or less. There is plenty
of water to meet personal needs once habits are adjusted.
Fresh Water System:
The fresh water system consists of the fresh water tank, water
pump, gravity fill connection, water filter(s) and a water hose for
potable water use only. Proper care of the hose is necessary. After each
use, drain the water hose. Roll the hose up onto the hose reel. Attach
the regulator and plug to keep out insects and debris.
Waste Water System:
The waste water system consists of a waste holding tank (grey
water), a sewage holding tank (black water), flush system, toilet and
drains.

ARNING:
Water is electrically conductive. Do not use any electrically
powered item or electrical outlet that may be exposed to a
water source, such use can result in a serious shock caus-
ing injury or death.
