City Water
Your Roadtrek can operate in either fully self-contained mode, or can be connected to a water supply such as a campsite's
faucet.
The city water connection is in the driver's side rearmost compartment. Unscrew the white plastic protective cap and connect
your clean hose to the water faucet and a water pressure regulator attached to this connection point. Turn the faucet on and
check for leaks, tightening the connections as necessary.
For more details, please refer to the HOWTO: Potable Water Use section.
Summer and Winter modes
The water system in your Roadtrek has an exterior and interior water tank. In summer mode (above freezing) both tanks can
be used. In mildly sub-freezing conditions, the exterior tank must be drained and the system set to winter mode. See the
HOWTO: Summer and Winter Mode for a concise description of how to operate your system in either mode. In temperatures
lower than mildly sub-freezing, or any freezing temperatures when the Roadtrek is not constantly heated, you must winterize.
Summer Use
In summer mode, both the interior and exterior tank are used to store fresh water. The tank isolator valve in the water line
connecting the two tanks is open, and water is drawn from the exterior tank by setting the tank selector valve to the exterior
tank position. As water is used from this exterior tank, the interior tank, which is positioned higher in the vehicle, drains into
the exterior tank by gravity, thus providing you with full use of the combined capacity of the two tanks. The valves to the
outside shower are open, allowing use of that facility as well.
Winter Use
In winter mode, only the interior tank is used to store fresh water. The tank isolator valve in the water line connecting the two
tanks is closed, and the exterior tank is drained. The interior water tank has a capacity of approximately ten gallons, and this
water is protected in moderate sub-freezing conditions by the tank's position inside the heated vehicle. The valves in the
water lines to the outside shower are closed, so it cannot be used, and neither can the city water connection.
