THE WATER PUMP
The on-board fresh water system is pressurized by a self-priming, 12-volt
DC pump. The pump operates automatically when the pump power
swi~ch
is
ON alld a faucet is opened. When the faucets are closed, the pump shuts off.
At free flow, the pump draws approximately 7 to 7
1
12 amps, and can run dry
for extended periods without damage. A IS-amp fuse in the panel board
(located at the foot of the bed) protects the water pump/water heater circuit.
See "ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS."
Turn the pump master switch ON to pressudze the system. When a faucet
is opened after the initial filling of the tank, the water may sputter for a few
seconds. This is normal and is not cause for concern. The water flow will
stabilize when all air is bled from the water lines.
WATER FILTER
Dirt, mineral scale, and organic matter are filtered out of the fresh water
system by an in-line water filter on the inlet side of the water pump. If you
suspect a clogged filter, it is easily removed and cleaned.
