3) Connect the other end of the hose to the
camper city water inlet.
4) Turn on the outside source of water.
Gradually open the hot & cold water at the
sinks and shower to clear air from the lines.
5) Close the faucets when the water is flowing
freely.
NOTE: Do not turn on the water pump when using
water from an external source. Only use the water
pump when obtaining water stored in your fresh
water tank.
To Disconnect from the Outside Water Source
1) Turn off the outside source of water.
2) Disconnect the hose from the supply valve
and the recreational vehicle inlet.
3) Remove the hose and store it.
4) Reinstall the cap on the recreational vehicle
inlet.
When an outside source of water is unavailable,
water can be drawn from the fresh water storage
tank in the camper. The tank is filled through a
gravity-controlled water spout on the exterior of the
vehicle.
It's a good idea to purchase a pressure regulator to
protect your camper from possible damage due to
excessive water pressure.
To supply city water to your camper's water system
and bypass the water pump:
1) Attach a potable water hose to the exterior
city water inlet connection.
2) Pump switch should remain in OFF position.
3) Open each faucet until water flows evenly.
Traveling with Water
When traveling, you may want to drain the tank or
keep the quantity of water to a minimum. This will
reduce the total weight of the camper for travel. The
location of the fresh water drain is next to the
entrance step and the waste water tank drain valve
is in the front left corner of the camper.
NOTE:
When draining the entire onboard fresh water
system, be sure to open faucets, water heater drains
and system low-point drains to remove all fresh
water from the system. Be sure the water pump is
turned OFF.
NOTE:
When leaving the camper for extended periods, it is
advisable to shut off the water supply at the park
spigot.
Water System Drain
The water system should be drained if it will be out
of service for more than one week. This will prevent
algae and bacteria contamination of your fresh
water system.
To Drain Your Camper:
1) The camper should be level and pump
control switch in OFF position.
2) Open all faucets and shower-head.
3) Open water tank drain valve
4) Open water line low point drains usually
located in or under shower area.
5) Open water heater drains and relief valves.
(see Winterization and Storage section for
more info.)
Sanitizing Fresh Water System
Sanitize the fresh water system and piping at initial
use, at least once a year and whenever the camper
sits for a prolonged period. This will help keep the
tank and lines fresh and will discourage the growth
of bacteria and other organisms that can
contaminate the water supply. Rinse the tank with a
chlorine/fresh water solution as follow:
1) Drain water system.
2) Prepare a chorine solution using a gallon of
water and ¼ cup of liquid household bleach
(5% sodium hypo-chlorinate solution). Use
one gallon of solution for each 15 gallons of
tank capacity.
3) With an empty tank and all faucets and
drains closed, pump into the tank, via the
potable tank fill, either with a manual or
electric water pump. Or pour 1/2 cup of
bleach (1/4 cup per 15 gallons of capacity)
into the hose before connecting it to the
water source. The water source pressure will
push the chlorine and water into the tank,
making the correct solution when the fresh
water tank is full.
4) Completely fill the tank with fresh water.
