Section 7: Plumbing Systems; Fresh Water System - Winnebago BRAVE Owner's Manual

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.
Brave SE:
The water tank in Brave SE models is filled
through a gravity fill tube located behind a lock-
ing door on the exterior sidewall of the coach.
Brave:
The tank in basement model Braves may be filled
either by gravity fill or by pressure filling through
the city water connection. A special diverter
valve will route the water from the hose either di-
rectly 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.

City Water Pressure Fill: Attach hose to city
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.
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.
