FRESH WATER SYSTEM

Fresh Water Tank.......... 86 gal.
The fresh water system provides water to the
galley sink, shower, bathroom lavatory, toilet and
water heater. Water may be supplied by either of
two sources:
− a water tank located within the motor home,
or
− any external water source to which the motor
home may be connected, known as "city
water".

FRESH WATER TANK FILLING
PROCEDURES:
Always fill the fresh water tank at an approved
potable water filling facility or a known purified
drinking water source.
To Pressure Fill Water Tank from City Water
Connection:
1. Attach a hose from a city water faucet to the
city water connector in the water center on
the left (driver) side of your coach.
2. Open the Gravity Fill door to provide ade-
quate air venting and avoid pressure buildup.
3. Turn the tank fill valve to the WATER
TANK FILL position.
SECTION 7
PLUMBING SYSTEMS
Turn tank fill valve to FILL position.
4. Tank is full when water begins to flow from
the overflow vent tube beneath the coach.
NOTE: Because city water pressure varies from
location to location, we recommend us-
ing an in-line water pressure regulator
to prevent damage to any components,
connections and seals in your fresh wa-
ter system.
A water pressure regulator may be ob-
tained from any well stocked RV dealer-
ship retail center and some retail
discount centers. These devices simply
connect in-line between the supply hose
and the city water input on the coach.
We recommend a regulator that controls
water pressure to 40 psi maximum.
NOTE: Always keep the tank fill valve closed un-
less you are filling the tank. If this valve
is open while using the city water, the
water will keep flowing into the tank and
out the gravity fill tube.
