Filling The Freshwater Tank - Tiffin Motorhomes 2014 Allegro Owner's Manual

TIFFIN MOTORHOMES
Turn the city water supply "on" for a few seconds to clear the line.
Once the hose has been flushed, turn the supply "off." Connect
the other end of the hose to the city-water connections (Figure
11-6) on the motor home. Once the city water fill valve is opened,
water is supplied to the freshwater system including the hot water
heater, faucets, and toilet.
Turn "on" the water supply and open all of the faucets to clear
any trapped air within the plumbing lines within the
motor home. Once any air pockets have purged from the water
lines and water flows freely, close all of the faucets. The
city water supply is pressurized; therefore, the water pump is not
needed when the water system of the vehicle is connected to the
city water system.
To disconnect from the city water supply on the motor home, close the valve and remove the hose from the city water
supply. Disconnect the hose from the city water connection and store the hose in the water compartment.

Filling the Freshwater Tank

The freshwater tank is normally filled from the potable water connection; although certain
Allegro models may have an additional valve to permit filling from the city water
connection. The valve (Figure 11-7) located in the service compartment near the water
connection determines whether the city water is going through the water system or into the
freshwater tank.
Since there is not an automatic shut-off when filling the freshwater tank, check the level from
the monitor panel while filling the freshwater tank on the motor home. The excess water will
be vented from an overflow in vent pipe onto the ground when the capacity of that tank has
been reached. This pipe is installed in the freshwater tank to prevent possible tank rupture
from inadvertent overfilling.
