City Water; Water Tank; Water Systems Convenience Center; Sanitizing The Water Tank - Gulf Stream Travel Trailer Owner's Manual

CITY WATER

Open the CITY WATER INLET DOOR and connect a hose to a city pressurized water faucet and to the vehicle's
CITY WATER INLET. Some models have a separate water fill for the FRESH WATER TANK. Others have a selector
switch to select either LOCAL SUPPLY or FRESH WATER TANK. To use CITY WATER make sure the selector is set
to LOCAL SUPPLY. The fresh water tank and water pump are by-passed when the city water hook-up is used.
CAUTION: A PRESSURE REGULATOR SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED WHEN CONNECTING TO CITY WATER.
EXCESSIVE WATER PRESSURE CAN DAMAGE LINES AND CONNECTIONS, CAUSING WATER DAMAGE TO
YOUR RV. MAKE SURE WATER PRESSURE NEVER EXCEEDS 60 PSI.

WATER TANK

UNLOCK the GRAVITY WATER FILL HATCH and use a hose or vessel to fill the water tank. Or, select FRESH
WATER TANK after hooking the hose to the CITY WATER. Watch your monitor panel inside to determine when the
tank is full.
WARNING: NEVER LEAVE YOUR COACH UNATTENDED WHEN FILLING THE FRESH WATER TANK!
ALTHOUGH PROPER VENTING IS ALLOWED FOR OVERFLOW, THE WATER PRESSURE CAN EXPAND
THE TANK AND CAUSE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE AND A POSSIBLE EXPLOSION RESULTING IN DEATH
OR INJURY!
Use only fresh, potable water in the storage tank. To insure that the tank is clean, drain after each trip. Sanitize the
tank when new, whenever contamination is suspected, or whenever it has not been used for a long period of time.

WATER SYSTEMS CONVENIENCE CENTER

Some models are equipped with a Water Systems Convenience Center
located on the exterior road side of the trailer. This area allows for
supplying local city water, filling the water holding tank and
draining the sewage holding tanks in one, convenient location.
The Water Systems Convenience Center may contain:
-City water hookup
-Selector switch for filling water tank, normal usage or winterizing the water lines.
-Black holding tank flush hookup (optional)
-Release valves for waste water and sewage holding tanks
-Water heater bypass valve for winterizing (optional)
-Fresh water filtration system (optional)
-Hot and cold water line low point drains
-Rally kit (exterior shower)

SANITIZING THE WATER TANK

As approved by the U.S. Public Health Service
To assure complete disinfection of your potable water system, it is recommended that the following procedures be
followed on a new system, one that has not been used for a period of time, or one that may have become
contaminated. This procedure is also recommended before long periods of storage such as over the winter.
