I learned more from your explanation than I ever knew before about the water system on my RV, which has always intimidated me because I was afraid of doing something wrong. Now I know what to do, step by step. Thank you so much!
Mait... I think you did an awesome job with this video. Learned a few helpful tips.... ones that I will remember and know will help me out there. Thanks
This was very helpful - I could see that you were very sincere in helping people and sharing your expertise. Thank you.
I appreciate that he said the regulator was 40 to 50 PSI. I was lost in that issue. TY 😃
Very comprehensive. Thank you for posting this.
Very clear, well-paced, and effective presentation. Well done, sir!
Plus I get to benefit from your knowledge from a whole other part of the world- gotta love the power of the internet.

Good video. Thanks for the info
Thank you
Good video thanks.
Was looking for this information and this video explained and answered my questions thoroughly. Thanks!
What a great video!! Thanks for making and sharing. Our biggest question for our camper is we would like to clean our holding tank but we have a city and holding tank in 1 connection like the camper shown in this video at the 7:20 point. We have bought the cleaning fluid as also mentioned in this video but since our connection is a pressurized gravity connection we can not figure out how to put that cleaner in! Any suggestions, adapters? Thanks!
Thanks for the walk through and tips! I'm leaving for a 3 month tour across Canada in a few weeks for my first ever rv adventure. Hopefully I'm not getting in over my head 😅
How did your trip go Ben Dawson?
Great Video! I have an NW Arctic Fox truck Camper, 2017, and am trying to find a video on proper filling and draining the system. I filled it, but there is a flow of water underneath from (i think) an overflow or drain valve, I'm not sure if I closed ALL water valves, the user's manual is vague AT BEST and has no pictures. Do you have videos for Truck Campers????
Idk why I’m watching this. I dont even have an RV
Neither do I but some of the RVs look so good I was like man if I ever get the money I'm going to get one...and if I do...I need to know how to get the damn water in and out of the RV. :)
LOL🤣 me too.
@@JohnDoe-yi4xd hahahah...#truth
hi very informative video- I need to install a bypass valve because my unit does not have one, there is one built into the waterpump I am told but I'm not in a place to replace the water pump just now. where in the line would you suggest splicing into the line to install this bypass valve?
Curious. When clean water tank is full. Can you run faucet/shower water using your water pump without filling up the water heater tank? Thanks.
I have a older (2000) 32' Class C & my last trip I was unable to take on city water or fill fresh tank. I took out the two-way valve that separates the two fill inlets and replaced with a piece of double male threaded pipe. I was still unable to take on water. Suggestions?
Clear as mud. Thanks.
Thank you! If I'm ever in Colorado, I might stop by
Please do!
10:02 Whoa....wardrobe change!
is it nec to sterilize the water tank if youre just going to hook up to city? thanks
Thanks!
Thank you for your comment!!
whet device goes into the hole that you connect the water hose to on the travel trailer? help please
Can you explain why this trailer has two city water connections?
Nice video but all i wamna know is why im not getting any water cumin out of any faucet are bathroom my water pump is on tank is full???
Did you ever figure this out? does the pump ever run? does it run all the time or when you open a faucet? I'm not sure if it's serviceable but i think they have a pressure switch of some kind that tells the pump to run, which could be defective or disconnected if it is not running at all. Also, the RV could be winterized and the pump might be bypassed or something. Be interested to know if you figured out.
Were are you located. I had friends helping me, but they've already begun to suggest I call someone else. I really need to learn so much!
Hello, Vilma T, Our address is 3511 West Service Road Evans Colorado 80620. If in the area we would love to help you with all your RV needs.
At 2:54, since you are hooked up to city water why are you talking about the pump?
Yeah, I was a little confused there too.
Cliff Hartle f
He talked a bit about working with your fresh water tank, as well as hooking up to a city water connection. I assume he was talking about the pump, in the case that one might be using their fresh water tank.
A little help here, for some reason I have water in the fresh water tank but, I never connected the fresh water tank to the hose. I am wondering why?
Hope you figured it out by now, but a few comments above people mentioned a check valve either being installed backwards or malfunctioning.
I have a 2013 Thor ACE 29.2 RV with low water pressure when using a water pump. Also, when connected to city water, my fresh water tank overflows. I've contacted Thor factory experts and could not come up to a solution. I could not find a location of a check valve. My water pump was replaced recently. I would appreciate any help.
Hello Sam, sounds like a valve is not turned the right way. Im assuming everything was working properly BEFORE the new water pump was installed? I would consult the folks who did your water pump replacement.
Happy Camping, Tom
My water pressure is fine but on our last outing while connected to city water, our fresh tank also started to over flow. I turned off the city water and drained the fresh water tank and then gave the water pump a few taps with a wrench, thinking there should be a check valve stuck open. I then turned on the city water and it seemed to do the trick. The fresh water tank did not fill up or over flow again.
I have hard water. Is it ok to use the water from my water softener? (Salt water)
I'm not an authority on hard water but I was reading that hard water (or, i guess salt treated hard water) will eat away a lot faster on the anode in your water heater. I guess untreated hard water will build up more deposits, so if that's the case you'd probably prefer the inexpensive thing that's meant to be expendable to be expended faster rather than dealing with all the other hard water issues.
If I can add to this conversation, yes, you may be replacing your tank anode a bit more often. But that's not a big deal, or expensive. Go ahead and use softened water, and check your anode once a year at the end of the season. If ANY of the wire core is showing, replace it. Easy!
So I'm hooked up to freshwater City water in my trailer but there is no water and there is water coming from the faucet but there is no water inside the trailer what do I do
@lisaashby1837 Be sure to have your RV's water system set to city water and not your fresh tank, as well as making sure your water pump is turned off. Give us a call at 970-313-4337 if you run into any other problems
How many gallons does a fresh water tank hold on the average.?
On smaller travel trailers you can expect fresh water tanks to be anywhere from 20 to 40 gallons while fifth wheels can have fresh tanks up to 100 gallons. Check with your manufacturer to confirm the tank size on your RV for the most accurate info!
Cant find a single help on a trickling water flow from city water line hook up. No leaks, no filters on taps. No in-line water filter, but very weak water flow.
I remember hearing about problems caused by a handheld faucet nozzle being closed despite the nobs being opened. I think it was an issue with luke warm water and not pressure, but still something to consider.
No pressure regulator when hooking up to city water.
Can you clarify what you are saying here, Jason? ( a year later, I know )
No, a regulator IS a good idea. My brother-in-law lives in Williams Lake, B.C. and his city water pressure is 116 psi! That's wayyyy too high and I installed a regulator to get that pressure down to 50 psi for his irrigation system. It was blowing the seals in the zone valves. That kind of ridiculous pressure can damage your RV plumbing system too, so play it safe and install a regulator. It's not expensive.
