FRESH WATER
SYSTEM
The fresh water system provides water to the
galley sink, shower, bathroom lavatory, toilet and
water heater. Water may be supplied by either of
two sources:
- a water tank located within the motor home,
or
- any external water source to which the motor
home may be connected, known as "city
water".
FRESH WATER TANK FILLING
PROCEDURES:
Always fill the fresh water tank at an approved
potable water filling facility or a known purified
drinking water source.
The tank may be filled either by gravity fill or
by pressure filling through the city water connec-
tion. A special diverter valve will route the water
from the hose either directly to the water lines for
city water hookup use, or to the fresh water tank
for filling.
Gravity Fill: Insert hose into fill opening and
turn water supply on. Tank is full when water
flows from tank vent tube beneath coach. The
gravity fill tube is located behind a small, lock-
able door on the right (passenger) sidewall to-
ward the back of the coach.

water connector. Open tank fill valve inside com-
partment, then turn water supply on. Tank is full
when water flows from tank vent tube beneath
coach.
SECTION 7
PLUMBING SYSTEMS
NOTE: Because city water pressure varies from
location to location, we recommend us-
ing an in-line water pressure regulator
to prevent damage to any components,
connections and seals in your fresh wa-
ter system.
A water pressure regulator may be ob-
tained from any well stocked RV dealer-
ship retail center and some retail
discount centers. These devices simply
connect in-line between the supply hose
and the city water input on the coach.
We recommend a regulator that controls
water pressure to 40 psi maximum.
NOTE: Always keep the tank fill valve closed un-
less you are filling the tank. If this valve
is open while using the city water, the
water will keep flowing into the tank and
out the tank vent tube.
Fresh Water Tank Capacity .... 60 gal.

WATER PUMP

(Located beneath bed)
When your coach is not connected to a city
water supply, water is supplied from the fresh
water tank by a water system demand pump.
