Before You Start
-
Make sure you have potable (drinkable) water only.
-
If this is your first time using the tank:
-
Sanitize, flush, and drain the fresh water tank.
-
-
Use a hose with a filter if possible to reduce sediment.
Filling the Fresh Water Tank (Gravity Fill)
-
Locate the fresh water fill port (left-hand side of the trailer).
-
Unlock the fill port using the provided key.
-
Insert your hose into the fill opening.
-
Turn on the water and begin filling.
How to know when it’s full:
-
Water starts spilling out of the breather valve, OR
-
Check the monitor panel inside the trailer.
-
-
Turn off the water when done.
-
Remove the hose.
-
Close and lock the fill port.
Using City Water Connection (Pressurized Water)
This gives you running water without using your tank.
What you need:
-
-
Water hose
-
Pressure regulator (50 PSI)
-
Steps:
-
Attach the pressure regulator to the water source (campground tap)
Do NOT attach it to the trailer.
-
Connect the hose to the regulator.
-
Connect the other end of the hose to the city water port on the trailer.
-
Turn on the water supply. You now have on-demand pressurized water.
-
When finished:
-
-
Turn off water
-
Disconnect hose
-
Close and lock the port
-
Draining the Fresh Water Tank
-
Go underneath the trailer near the tank.
-
Find the white drain valve.
-
Turn the valve toward the rear of the trailer to open it.
-
Let the tank fully drain (this may take a while).
-
After draining- turn the valve back toward the front of the trailer to close it.
Extra Tip: The wires connected to the tank are sensor probes that tell your monitor panel how full the tank is.
