Water and Drainage Plumbing

Your VENTURE RV has a complete water system, to carry fresh water,
as well as holding tanks for used water.
explanation along with its own operation.

Fresh Water System

Tanks

Water containers are installed under the coach between frame members
and protected with a cover and a steel frame carrier. Each storage tank
has an overflow line, 4 times smaller than a fill hose. Leaving tank being
filled unattended may cause tank to be overfilled, pressurized, breaking,
leaking, and bending carrier frame, which is NOT a manufacturing defect.
Overflow line is attached to gravity water fill. Water will come out of the
screen when full. STOP FILLING!
Filling Fresh Water System
To place water in to your coach fresh water system, use one of the
following methods.
A. Gravity Water Fill
To place water into the fresh water tank,
remove cap from fill. Insert water hose 4 to 6
inches into the 1 1/4" flex tube. Open the
water supply faucet. DO NOT overfill the
tank as it could burst. It is not designed to
hold pressure. During the tank filling
process, view monitor panel for
volume of tank fullness.
B. City Water Fill
Water may be received into the system
through a direct hook-up referred to as "CITY
WATER FILL". After attaching a supply hose
to the hook-up, open the faucet from supply
line. Enter coach and open all faucets to
relieve air from the lines. The water heater (if
so equipped) will fill first. You will experience
some air pockets. Allow them to escape
before closing the faucets.
