9 years later and it's still great advice. Thank you.

Another good tip on water hoses is when you disconnect attach both ends of your hose together, it keeps dirt, dust and bugs out of your hose while driving so it's clean when ready to use.

Thank you for not only explaining the process well but showing the process as well.

Just found this channel recently and love the tutorials. Great for us newbies! Always feel like there is something to learn. Great to know how the system functions!

Just bought a Class C a couple days ago and it's my first motorhome. My first RV actually! Learned a few things from this video!!

This video is a quintessential tutorial on water hook up with a RV!

This is so 90s! And helpful 💖

You blew my mind twice somehow

thank you,very helpful! i just need water & sewer and i can go fulltime

YOU ~ ROCK ! !

Oooooh Tim and his crazy stories... 😉

Thanks❤

Thank you

Hi, this was somewhat helpful and I absolutely agree, it's important to know how your coach works. Unfortunately, mine didn't come with any manuals and even the manufacturer could only send me one from the year after mine was built. There's a brief paragraph explaining how to fill the fresh water tank but when I go out an look at things, what was written doesn't make any sense. Any ideas or suggestions?

I didn't know it was ok to leave the pump on while the faucets are closed. You can hear the pump building up pressure. Guess I'll go try it, and see if it shuts itself off, or busts a pipe/pump burns out.

I just found that my water pump takes the water from my holding tank and spits it out the city water hookup resulting in no toilet flushing or galley faucet water. Any ideas? Thank!!

Thanks for all you tips, is it ok to leave you water pump on most of the time while in the rv, and also a good idea to run your water heater all the time or shut it off when not in use

ok my water pump isn't functioning properly and I need to install a bypass valve where in the line would you suggest doing this. my city water line is going directly to my fresh water holding tank which then fills and leaks through the cap. I am told there was supposed to be bypass valve somewhere in the water line but I could not find it so I am going to install the bypass valve until I can get my water pump replaced.

My works too. I used Inplix handbooks and build it without any problems.

Does the generator half to be on to use the water system

Can you turn the hose on and leave it attached normally, or do you fill the system and disconnect? How do you know if your tank is full?

Full time rving

have a 1989 Travelmaster that has been gutted including all water lines. The tank and pump are still there. It has a city water hookup and tank fill hookup but no lines attached. Any video on what materials I need and how to install.

Mine is hooked to community water sys. No reason for the storage tank to be in operation. Yet, it's leaking out of the holding tank, and the light indicator shows the tank is full. Shouldn't the 'city' water bypass the holding tank? How can I check? (Really NEW to RV living!) Martha

I have a 1992 bounder and i cant find a city water hook up anywhere any ideas? Does anyone have the same motorcoach?

Y would someone remove the fresh water tank@ pump

My it just hook up to the main line suply the whole sistem , do i have to fill up my fresh water tank ? I never use it my rv its park for over twoo years i have no problem with my water sistem 🙄😁

So, is it correct to state that when connected to campsite water, you motorhome water pump need not be turned on, and the use of faucets will simply work due to the pressure coming from the campsite water connection? We newly started, and camped with the camp water connection, but turned on the water pump when we wanted water, thinking that the pump needed to be on to push water. Our fresh water tank level really reduced during the few days...(ok, not an issue), and I'm guessing we should simply have NOT used the pump. Evidently the pump use caused my tank depletion, and didn't use the camp water. Is this correct?

Hey is you off where are you

It is nessesary to hook up city water to a fresh water tank conection ??

Trav Harrell 1 minute ago (edited) I have a 2006 gulfstream cavalier with no holding tanks. Two weeks ago water was coming out of my sink faucets, shower, and toilet just fine. Water hose was not disconnected from water faucet or camper between then and now. I just turn my underground water meter valve on and off to turn water on or off. This weekend nothing. I unhooked the hose from the camper and there is plenty of pressure coming out of the hose. I can put my mouth on the intake to the camper and blow and air comes out the camper sink faucet. I put the hose back on and nothing. I have been using this camper in this location for almost 6 years. Any suggestions? I left the water hose attached with full pressure for a couple of hours and nothing. water is not running under the cabinets or anywhere. Could the intake valve behind the water hookup have gone bad and not be allowing water into the camper? I don't think I even have a water pump since I don;t have holding tanks.

I have the city water connected but still stops running

I have a problem getting my pump to suction the anti-freeze from the bottle. to winterize it. I had emptied all the water from the system and used 30 pounds of air to blow everything out through the low point drains and all faucets. I have the water heater bypassed and when I turn the pump on it runs but never has suction to begin to move the anti-freeze. I wondered if there was a problem with the pump but it has no problem with moving water from the fresh water tank. Any ideas?

I need help I put the water hose in and is leaking at the bottom

i purchase 2014 SABREE 5-th wheel . one morningin the almost finishing shower water stop flowing ..i hear the pump running . i shot off the velves --pump still running . I have to shut off the pump by switching it OFF . it means i have major leak or even one of the pipes disconnect somewhere . BUT !... where is that damn pump ?? i CAN'T find the plumbing system plan for SABREE anywhere on internet and i'm not eager to take apart the whole trailer before i learn where the pump is located > please help i live in that trailer since i'm wild fire victim in California ..it is urgent to fix that darn thing .

does hot water work with city water hookup?

if i leave my city water on it some how leaks water in my room i have a fleet wood 1993 and ideas?

Portable? Think you meant *Potable*

my daughter has an older motorhome....she is hooked up to city water....hose directly in....water come out of all faucets...except bathtub??? why would this be??? we cannot seem to see if there is a valve to turn on for that...if there is....where would that be located...on the outside or inside????...thanks

Oh boy. That just happened to me. So what happened to the rest of the story?????

When connected to city water. Why does the water flow into the water tank ? When it's full comes out from the over flow hose. It does not have a bypass valve

At first sight of the couple I was 💯 percent sure they were swingers

Are these people still alive? This is an old old video

Aaaaaaaaahhhhh! ! !

You lost my confidence at “portable”

Potable* water.. not portable...

Portable or potable? Oh, bother. I'm just a nit picker.
