H. THE WATER SYSTEM

Fresh Water: Your motorhome has two fresh water sources: a tank for fresh

water and a city water hookup. You can use the water in the tank when you are

driving; the city water hookup only when you are hooked up at a campground.

The freshwater tank can be filled through an opening on the side or rear of the

motorhome. Inside the motorhome on the monitor panel, is an indicator which

shows how full the tank is.

The following are the fresh water tank capacities:

Camperhome: 30 gallons (114 l)

Class C models: 30 to 40 gallons (114 l to 151 l)

Class A models: 70 gallons (265 l)

If you want to use the water from the fresh water tank, you must turn the electric

water pump on. The switch for the water pump is located either on the monitor

panel, or near the kitchen sink. On some models, a second water pump switch is

located in the bathroom.

If you are at a campground that has a city water hookup, you can use this water

directly. Attach the white fresh water hose to the city water hookup on the side of

the motorhome. Turn the water pump off. This hook up does not refill the fresh

water tank.

Caution: There are some campgrounds where the water pressure is so high that

it can burst the water pipes in the motorhome, thus causing leaks. The pipes can

withstand only 45 psi. It is MANDATORY that you use the water pressure

regulator that is provided with the water hose. If for some reason you do not have

a pressure regulator, fill the fresh water tank and use that water source. When it

gets low, simply refill the tank. If a pressure regulator has not already been

provided and you would like to purchase one, you can find them at most

campground stores for about $10 to $15. Save your receipt and present it when

you return for re-imbursement.

If the water in the tank goes stale, and you want to replace it, you can drain the

tank. The drain valves are located in different places on the various models. On

most Class C models it is located below the fill hole on the side of the unit. On

Flair models, it is usually located under the rear bed. On Storm models, it is

located under the floor by the water tank (access is obtained through an outside

compartment door). On Bounders and other Class A models, the valve is located

behind an outside compartment door. If you do drain the fresh water tank, be

sure to do so in an appropriate location.
