DO NOT drink water deemed microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
All water contains contaminant and mineral particles that can cause fresh water
system odors. Untreated well water is a major source of water system odors. 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.

Your RV may be equipped with the following city water fill fresh water connection.
Refer to the "Outside Convenience Center" section if a city water connection is not
available.
To use the city water fill
1. If needed, sanitize the water system.
2. Remove the connection cap and attach a non-toxic drinking water hose to the
inlet.
3. Turn ON the water at the water source. Enter the RV and open the cold water
supply faucets to bleed air from the water lines. When the water lines are
nearly full, you may experience some "air pockets." Allow them to escape
before closing the cold water supply faucets.
4. The water heater will fill first, followed by the supply lines and faucets.
The fresh water connection should be unplugged (i.e., the non-toxic drinking
water hose disconnected) when the RV is left unattended for any amount of
time. If something would happen to the water system, this may help limit
water damage to a smaller area.
To disconnect the city water fill
5. Shut OFF the water at the water source.
6. Disconnect the non-toxic drinking water hose and reinstall the connection cap.
Reinstall the connection cap when the fresh water connection is not being used.
We recommend that you use a non-toxic drinking water hose dedicated only to
supplying the RV with fresh water (to reduce the chance of contamination, prevent
the non-toxic drinking water hose from coming into contact with the ground). Install
the city water connection inlet cap when the fresh water connection is not being
used. Do not remove the following label from your RV:
