Operation
Pump cycling may be caused by excessive pressure
created by one or more of the followings, within a
plumbing system:
 Low flow from partially open faucet.
 Water filters not on separate feed lines.
 Clogged water filters.
 Restrictive elbows and valves are possible in
the first 2 feet after the pump.
 Flow restrictors in faucets and shower
heads.
 Long lengths of small I.D. (inside diameter).
 If replacing pipe/tubing, be sure it is at least
½" I.D. for main lines.
To minimize cycling, consider removing plumbing
restrictions or install an accumulator after the pump.
Cycling should be minimized to prevent pulsing
flow and to achieve maximum pump life. DANGER
do not use automotive antifreeze to winterize
potable (drinkable) water systems. Such solutions
are highly toxic. Ingestion may cause serious injury
or death.

Water Tank Fill

The fresh water system should be sanitized at the
initial filling, after a period of storage or if
contaminated. Fill tank slowly. Do not overfill. Do
not leave unattended while filling. Structure damage
may occur.
Filling the fresh water tank:
1) Close water tank drain petcock located at the
rear or rear side of the camper.
2) Open cap on fresh water fill inlet.
3) Using a 3/8" hose adapter, fill the water tank
through the exterior fill spout slowly at a
low volume until water overflows out of the
vent. Do not force water into spout since air
in the tank must be released during filling.
Do not put the potable water hose into the
mouth of the fill.
4) Set pump control switch to ON.
5) Open each faucet one by one until water
flows evenly, and no air bubbles are evident.
6) Top off water tank through the exterior fill
spout to replace water used in filling the
water heater and purging the water lines of
air.
7) Close cap and lock the access door.

City Water Connection

External Hook-Up
Water provided from outside
the recreational vehicle is
pressurized by the system from which it is
delivered. When you connect your recreational
vehicle to an outside source, the fresh water tank
and the water pump are kept separate from the
remainder of the system by in-line check valves.
Your camper is outfitted with a system designed to
provide fresh (potable) water service from an
onboard water tank or a city water connection with
a fresh water tank fill located on the roadside of the
camper.
When connecting to the city water hookup, use only
a non-toxic water hose, available at most camper
supply stores. Since water pressures at
campgrounds and household hookups vary, you
should install an inline pressure regulator at the
water supply faucet. This will protect both the
camper water system and supply hose from
excessively high-water pressure. (This comes
supplied with the camper)
Water provided from outside the recreational
vehicle is pressurized by the system from which it is
delivered. When you connect your recreational
vehicle to an outside
source, the fresh water tank
and the water pump are
kept separate from the
remainder of the system by
in-line check valves.
CAUTION
DO NOT turn the pump on if the fresh water tank is
empty. Doing so could cause damage to the pump
or blow a circuit.
Attaching to an Outside Source of Water
1) Remove the cap from the fresh water inlet
on the side of the camper.
2) Attach one end of the fresh water hose to the
outside source of water.
