The plumbing systems in your motor home are constructed
of thermoplastic materials. Holding tanks and piping com-
ponents are strong, lightweight, and corrosion 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 froni excessively
high
~ater
pressure.
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 clear the
lines. Close faucets.
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
CAUTION
Overfilling the fresh water tank from a pres-
surized source will cause serious damage
to the water tank or structural components.
Monitor water tank filling continually.
The on-board 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, and fill the tank
using a potable water hose. Check the monitor panel
often to determine when the tank is full. If water is flowing
from the top
vent,
your tank is overfilled. Stop filling.After
filling the tank, replace vent plug'and filler cap.
