Gravity Water Fill

The gravity water fill is located on the side of the trailer,
behind a locked compartment. It is used to fill the fresh
water tank with potable water� A small vent is located
next to the port to allow air to expel from the tank as it
is filled.
Fill the water tank by inserting a high-pressure RV/
Marine FDA approved drinking water hose of at least
½-in� diameter made from material that is tasteless,
odorless, and non-toxic� It's a good idea to let the water
run through the hose for a short time to flush it out.
RVers sometimes fill their tanks with "home" water to
avoid strange water that may be distasteful to them on
short outings� Remember, the more water you carry in
the fresh water tank, the less cargo carrying capacity
you have for other items� The amount of water in the
tank may be checked on the Monitor Panel�

City Water Hookup

The city water hook-up is located on the side of the
trailer. For consistent water flow and plumbing line
safety, an in-line regulator limits pressure to 50 psi�
Use a tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic high-pressure
hose of at least 1/2 in� diameter designed for RV use�
The city water inlet is a standard garden hose thread�
We suggest you carry two lengths of hose, in order to
reach hookups farther away than normal, plus, to have
a spare�
After hooking up the hose and turning on the city
water valve provided in the park, slowly open a faucet�
There will be a lot of spurts and sputtering until all
the air is expelled from the trailer system� If the water
heater is empty, it will take some time before all the air
is expelled and a steady flow of water occurs at the
faucet. Once a steady flow is achieved at one faucet
the others should be opened long enough to expel the
air in the lines going to them�
Your plumbing system has a built-in pressure regulator
to protect your lines and faucets from extremely high
pressures on some city water systems�
