SECTION 8: PLUMBING SYSTEM
PLUMBING SYSTEM
There are two different water systems in your RV:
•
The fresh water system consists of the fresh
water holding tank, faucets and connections,
water pump, water heater, tub/shower. On
some models, it may also include the water purification system or
outside shower assembly (if equipped).
•
Depending on your model, the waste water system consists of
the grey (wastewater) and black (sewage) holding tanks, drains,
and toilet.
Plumbing System Maintenance
•
Check all lines and fittings for leaks before each trip or before RV
storage as part of your normal maintenance.
•
Inspect all faucets, the water purification system (if equipped)
and sink connections (including drain baskets or filters).
•
At the end of every trip, you should drain any unused water from
the fresh water system.
Typically, there are labels affixed to the exterior of the RV sidewall that
indicate the locations of the water system drains and fills. Be aware
some drain valves may be located inside the RV (once the exterior
label is found, go inside to find the drain corresponding location).
Refer to the manufacturer's operating manual included in your
Customer Information Packet for the detailed operating, sanitizing,
and winterizing information for each water system component.

MONITOR PANEL
Monitor panel locations may vary by model. Typical locations are on
the command center panel near the door, on an interior wall, or on
the exterior utility center. The monitor panel allows you to monitor
the fresh water, grey water, black water and auxiliary battery levels.
It operates on 12-volt DC power supplied by either the converter or
auxiliary battery. No power is drawn
from the battery unless a switch is
pushed or turned ON. Fuses for the
monitor panel are located in the load
center.
Some models may be equipped with a
touch screen system that monitors tank
levels electronically.
If your RV has secondary black or gray tanks, there may be an
additional tank monitor. It is typically labeled as a convenience center.
