There are two separate water systems in your RV, the Fresh Water System and the Waste
Water System.
• The Fresh Water System consists of the fresh water holding tank, fresh water connec-
tions, water pump, water heater, faucets, shower or tub, water filter system and outside
shower assembly.
• The Waste Water System consists of the waste water holding tank (gray), drains, toilet
and sewage holding tank (black). This plumbing permits the drainage of these fixtures
to an outside terminal. The vehicle should be reasonably level for the best operation of
both wastewater systems.
The wastewater system is divided into to subsystems, each with its own tank and control
valve. Both drain through a common sewer drain hose.
• The gray water system is for wastewater from the sinks, shower, and washing machine.
• The black water system is for sewage waste from the toilet.
Before each trip or vehicle storage, and as part of normal maintenance, inspect the follow-
ing for leaks:
• ALL fittings on BOTH water systems. See
• ALL water pump and water heater connections.
At the end of each trip, ALWAYS completely drain your fresh water system. See
the Fresh Water System" on page
FRESH WATER SYSTEM — FIRST USE
Your new RV may have been winterized, as indicated by temporary labels located in the
wet bay.
• BEFORE first use, the system should be Sanitized, even if it has NOT been Winterized.
See "Sanitizing the Fresh Water System" on page
• Sanitizing the fresh water system will kill all bacteria and organisms that can contami-
nate your water supply.
