Section 8: Plumbing System; Fresh Water Holding Tank - Highland Ridge RV 2015 Owner's Manual

HIGHLAND RIDGE TOWABLE
There are two different 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 connections, water pump, outside shower assembly (if so
equipped), water heater, faucets, shower or tub, and water purification system (if
so equipped). The waste water system consists of the waste water holding tank,
sewage holding tank, drains and toilet.

□
Check all fittings, pressure and waste, for leaks before each trip or before
vehicle storage as part of your normal maintenance.
□
Inspect all faucets, the water purification system (if so equipped) and sink
connections (including drain baskets or filters).
□
Inspect connections at the water pump and water heater.
□
At the end of every trip, you should drain any unused water from the fresh
water system.
□
The fresh water (or potable water) system needs periodic sanitization and
winterization to take care of all the components within the plumbing system
and help discourage the growth of bacteria and other organisms that can
contaminate the water supply.
There are labels affixed to the exterior of the RV's sidewall that indicate the
locations of the water system drains and fills. Be aware some drains may be
located inside the RV (once the exterior label is found, go inside to find the drain
corresponding location).

ONITOR ANEL
The interior wall-mounted monitor panel allows you to monitor the fresh water,
grey water, black water and auxiliary battery levels. These functions are controlled
using the "tact" switches located on the monitor panel faceplate. The monitor
panel operates on 12-volt DC power supplied by either the converter or auxiliary
battery. Sensors installed in the holding tanks connect to a resistor assembly
(relaying an electronic message to the display board). No power is drawn from the
battery unless a switch is pushed or turned ON. Fuses for the monitor panel are
located in the load center.
Water pump switch (if so equipped)
When the water pump switch is ON the water pump runs until 45 pounds of
pressure has been achieved. The red light will stay ON. Turn the water pump
switch OFF when it is not in use.
Water heater switch (if so equipped)
The "propane GAS" water heater switch enables propane operation of the water
heater. The "ELECTRIC" water heater switch enables electric operation of the
water heater.

RESH ATER
The fresh water tank can be gravity filled or pressure filled using the fresh water
inlet (called city water). Plastic overflow tubes are plumbed into the fresh water
holding tank to allow water to flow out of the water tank.
