The fresh water system should be sanitized at the initial filling,
after a period of storage or if contaminated. See “Sanitize
Fresh Water System” in this section.
Please fill tank slowly.
Filling the Fresh Water Tank:
1) Make sure fresh water tank drain valve is closed,
located in the compartment door #3
2) Remove cap on fresh water fill inlet.
3) Using a 3/8 hose adapter, fill the water tank through
the exterior fill spout slowly at a low volume until
water overflows out of the vent or check tank monitor
and fill until it reads 100%.
4) Set pump control switch to ON.
5) Open each faucet one by one until water flows
evenly, and no air bubbles are evident.
6) Top off water tank through the exterior fill spout to
replace water used in filling the water heater and
purging the water lines of air.
7) Replace cap and lock the access door.
City Water Connection
Attaching to an Outside Source of Water
1) Remove the cap from the fresh water inlet on the side
of the Camper.
2) Attach one end of the fresh water hose to the outside
source of water.
3) Connect the other end of the hose to the camper city
water inlet.
4) Turn on the outside source of water. Gradually open
the hot & cold water at the sinks and tub to clear air
from the lines.
5) Close the faucets when the water is flowing freely.
Water System Drain
The water system should be drained if it will be out of service
for more than one week. This will prevent algae and bacteria
contamination of your fresh water system.
To Drain your Camper:
1) The camper should be level and pump control switch
in OFF position.
2) Open all faucets and shower-head.
3) Open water tank drain valve.
4) Open Alde relief valve. (See Winterization and
Storage section for more info.)
Sanitizing Fresh Water
System
Sanitize the fresh water
system and piping at
initial use, at least once a
year and whenever the
camper sits for a prolonged period. This will help keep the
tank and lines fresh and will discourage the growth of bacteria
and other organisms that can contaminate the water supply.
Rinse the tank with a chlorine/fresh water solution as follow:
1) Drain water system. (See Drain Water System).
2) Prepare a chlorine solution with one gallon of water
and ¼ cup household bleach.
3) Pour one gallon of solution for each 15 gallons of
tank capacity into fill spout.
4) Fill tank with fresh water.
5) Open each faucet and water heater relief valve until
water flows evenly.
6) Set pump switch to OFF.
7) Allow solution to stand for 3 hours.
8) Drain and flush with fresh water.
9) To remove any chlorine taste or odor, fill tank with
one-quart vinegar to 5 gallons of water. Allow
solution to remain in tank several days if possible.
10) Drain and flush with fresh water.
Potable water only. Sanitize, flush and drain before using. See
instruction manual. Failure to comply could result in death or
serious injury.
