PLUMBING SYSTEMS AND
HOLDING TANKS
The plumbing systems in your motor home are
constmcted
of durable thermoplastic materials.
Holding tanks and piping components are
strong, lightweight, and corrosion resistant.
Holding tanks are
of three types:
• Fresh - Fresh potable water
• Grey - Lavy/shower effluent
• Black - Toilet effluent
It is recommended to discharge as many fluid
tanks as practical before driving.
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Fresh, potable water is available ii'om either an
external
"city water" hookup or on-board storage.
External Fresh Water Hookup
The external system is pressurized by the water
system at an
RV park or city water supply. The
connection
is located in the utility compartment
on the rear left side
of the motor home.
To
connect to pressurized city water:
1. Connect one end of a potable water hose to
the RV park or city water snpply. This will
usually
be a faucet or valve similar to your
garden hose valve at home.
Potable water
hoses are available
at RV supply stores.
2. Run the city water supply for a few sec-
onds to clear the line. Turn off the water.
3. Attach the other end of the potable water
hose to city water connection located on
the motor home. Make sure all connections
are tight.
4. Turn
on the RV park/city water snpply.
Open all faucets inside the motor home to
clear the lines. Then turn off faucets.
External Fresh \¥caeI' Connection
CAUTION
Since water pressures at campgrounds vary, we rec-
ommend
you install an in-line pressure regulator (if
not equipped) at the water supply faucet. This will pro-
tect the motor home water system and your supply
hose from
excessively high water pressure.
To disconnect the city water:
I. Turn OFF the city water supply.
2. Remove the hose from the city water supply
valve.
3. Drain and store the hose.
Filling the On-Board Water Tank
The on-board fresh water tank can be filled in
two ways: (1) city water pressure or (2) gravity.
I. City water pressure
- When connected to
the city water supply as described above,
turn the bypass
valve located in the utility
compartment
to "Water Tank Fill" from the
"Normal" setting. This will fill the on-
board fresh water tank.
Make sure the external gravity fill connec-
tion is open (remove the cap) to allow air
to escape from the on-board tank. When
water flows out
of this external fill, the on-
board tank is full.
After filling, turn the bypass valve to
"Normal,"
