12 WATER/PLUMBING
SYSTEM
Your motorhome is designed with a fresh water, grey
water, black water systems and associated plumbing
to handle all of the water and waste requirements. Re-
view this section carefully to understand each system
and how they function together.
12.1 FRESH WATER SYSTEM
There are two sources for fresh water in your
motorhome:
1. A water tank located within your motorhome.
2. By connecting to “city water” by means of a water
hose.
Both can supply water to the sink, shower, bathroom,
toilet and the water heater.
The water system built into your motorhome provides
full service similar to the system used in your home. A
12-volt self-priming pump draws water from the fresh
water storage tank to supply presurized water to the
system. An automatic pressure switch, located in the
water pump maintains a positive line pressure.
Commander units:
The city water connection is located in the utility
module on the road side of the coach. The water
pump and lter are also located in the utility module.
The water tank is either installed under the rear bed or
under the oor depending on the model.
The utility compartment located on the drivers side of
the vehicle contains, the water pump, the potable city
water ll selector valve, winterization bypass valve, and
the water tank drain.
Embassy units:
The City Water connection is located on the driver side
exterior wall.
The water pump and lter and the water tank drain are
located next to the water tank under the rear bed.
