How do I fill and use my trailer's water system? 

Please take a moment to watch the video below for step-by-step guidance, or follow the step-by-step written directions.

 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)

  1. Locate the fresh water fill port (left-hand side of the trailer).

  2. Unlock the fill port using the provided key.

  3. Insert your hose into the fill opening.

  4. 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.

  5. Turn off the water when done.

  6. Remove the hose.

  7. 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:

  1. Attach the pressure regulator to the water source (campground tap)

    Do NOT attach it to the trailer.

  2. Connect the hose to the regulator.

  3. Connect the other end of the hose to the city water port on the trailer.

  4. Turn on the water supply. You now have on-demand pressurized water.

  5. When finished:

    • Turn off water

    • Disconnect hose

    • Close and lock the port

 

Draining the Fresh Water Tank

  1. Go underneath the trailer near the tank.

  2. Find the white drain valve.

  3. Turn the valve toward the rear of the trailer to open it.

  4. Let the tank fully drain (this may take a while).

  5. 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.
