HOWTO: Potable Water Use
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 under the back bumper on the driver's side. Unscrew the white plastic protective cap and
connect your clean hose to the water faucet and to a water pressure regulator attached to this connection point. Turn the
faucet on and check for leaks, tightening the connections as necessary.
Campgrounds and municipalities vary greatly in supplied water pressure. Before connecting to external water
supplies, make sure your Roadtrek is equipped with a pressure regulator. If not, purchase and install a pressure regulator
inline with the water connection.

the words "Water Pressure Regulator" on
the plastic collar
In a typical campground you may see the faucet with a backflow preventer attached. These look similar to a pressure
regulator but do not affect the pressure. The backflow preventor is there to protect the campground. You need the pressure
regulator to protect yourself from excess pressure.
