Plumbing System; Fresh Water System; City Water Connection; Filling The Water Tank - Fleetwood Pace Arrow 1993 Manual

-----------------------21
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 on-board storage.
The external system is pressurized by the water system
at an RV park or city water supply.
CAUTION
Since water pressures at campgrounds vary,
we recommend you install an In-line pres-
sure regulator at the water supply faucet.
This will protect the motor home water sys-
tem and your supply hose from excessively
high water pressure.
A manual valve isolates the on-board fresh water stor-
age tank. This valve can be used to fill the tank from the
city water supply.
City Water Connection
Connect the city water system as follows:
Open the protective door over the city water inlet
(on some models only).
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 OFF the supply.
Connect the hose to the inlet fitting.
Turn ON the supply. Open all faucets and clearthe
lines. Close faucets.
PLUMBING
SYSTEMS
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.

Filling The Water Tank
On some models, you can fill the fresh water tank from
the city water connection. Open the tank fill valve and
remove the fresh water tank fill cap and vent plug.
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 WILL
CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE
WATER TANK OR STRUCTURAL COMPO-
NENTS. MONITOR WATER TANK FILLING
CONTINUALLY.
