PLUMBING SYSTEMS
The plumbing systems in your motor home are con-
structed of thermoplastic materials. Holding tanks and
piping components are strong, lightweight, and corro-
sion 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.
Connect the city water system as follows:
• Open the protective door
over
the city water 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 open the tank fill
valve, remove the fresh water tank fill cap and vent
plug. Be careful when you do this. Monitor the filling
of the tank continually. 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,
replace tank fill cap and vent plug.

CAUTION: OVERFILLING THE FRESH WATER
TANK FROM A PRESSURIZED SOURCE MAY
CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE WATER TANK
OR STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS. MONITOR
WATER TANK FILLING CONTINUALLY.
Disconnect the city water as follows:
• 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.
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
remove
vent
plug, and fill the tank with the hose. After filling the
tank, close the spout, and replace the
vent
plug.
Avoid leaving water in the tank when the motor home
is not in use. Turn the water pump OFF before draining
the water tank. Whenever possible, drain the fresh water
tank before traveling. Water in the tank will reduce the
carrying capacity of the motor home. See "WEIGHING
AND LOADING" section.
EX,terior Shower
An exterior shower fixture is located in the water tank
compartment. The water pump must be ON or city
water pressure must be available for the shower to
operate.
Water Purifier System
The water purfier system can help provide consistent
drinking water quality as you travel. A special filter is
part of this system. The filter cartridge is located in the
cabinet under the galley sink. Your Owner's Informa-
tion Package. contains detailed operating and
maintenance instructions concerning this system.
