Plumbing Systems And Holding Tanks; Fresh Water System; External Fresh Water Hookup; Filling The On-Board Water Tank - Fleetwood 2014 Terra Storm Owner's Manual

The plumbing systems in your motor home are
constructed of durable thermoplastic materi-
als. 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 from 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 road 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 supply. 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 supply.
Open all faucets inside the motor home to
clear the lines. Then turn off faucets.

External Fresh Water Connection
Since water pressures at campgrounds vary, we rec-
om mend you install an in-line pressure regulator (if
not equipped) at the water supply faucet. This will
protect the motor home water system and your supply
hose from excessively high water pressure.
To disconnect the city water:
1. Turn OFF the RV park or city water sup-
ply.
2. Remove the hose from the RV park or city
water supply valve.
3. Drain and store the hose.

Filling the On-Board Water Tank

NOTE
3
Inspect your vehicle and determine if it has a "city
water fill" for the following procedure.
The on-board fresh water tank can be filled
using the external gravity fill.
Gravity fill –The gravity water fill is located on
the exterior of the motor home. The on-board
water tank can be filled here. To fill the fresh
water tank, remove the cap, remove the vent
plug, and fill the tank using a potable water
hose.
