Plumbing System; Fresh Water System; City Water Connection; Filling The Water Tank - Fleetwood Jamboree 1991 Manual

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 wa-
ter" 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
system and your supply hose from exces-
sively high water pressure.
On some models, a manual valve also isolates the on-
board fresh water storage 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 clear the
lines. Close faucets.

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. Moni-
tor the filling of the tank continually. The flow and pres-
sure at some park and city water supplies could damage
the tank if left unattended. After filling the tank, closethe
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
components. Monitor water tank filling
continually.
