Plumbing Systems; Fresh Water System - Fleetwood Pace Arrow 1988 User Manual

PLUMBING SYSTEMS
The plumbing systems in your motor home are con-
structed of thermoplastic materials. Holding tanks and
piping components are strong, lightweight, and cor-
rosion resistant.
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Fresh water is available from either an external "city
!
water" hookup or onboard storage.
The external system is pressurized by the water
, system at an RV park or city water supply. When you
use this system, the onboard pump is isolated from
the city water pressure by a check valve. A manual
valve also isolates the onboard fresh water storage
tank. This valve can be used to fill the tank from the
city water supply. More on that later.

inlet.

Connect one end of a potable water hose to
park or city water supply. This will usually be
a faucet or valve similar to your garden hose
valve at home. "Potable water" hoses are
available at RV supply stores.
Run the city water supply for a few seconds
to clear the line.
Turn the supply OFF.
If a potable water hose is not already connected
to the inlet, connect the hose to the inlet fitting.
Turn the supply ON. Open all faucets and clear
the lines. Close faucets. If you want to fill the
fresh water tank from the city water supply
24
open the tank fill valve. Be careful when you
do this. Monitor the filling of the tank continual-
ly. The flow and pressure at some park and city
water supplies could damage the tank if left
unattended. After filling the tank, close the
valve.

Close the park or city water supply valve.
Remove the hose from the city water supply
valve.
Disconnect the hose from the inlet, coil and
store it.
Water Tank Fill
The onboard water storage tank may also be filled
through a special filler cap outside the motor home.
To fill the fresh water tank, open the spout and fill
the tank with the hose. After filling the tank, close
the spout.
