Example.. Says to SANITIZE this unit when purchased new, which mine is. but doesn't say how to do it. Which one of these is the FRESH water inlet?

Thx in advance.

Not sure if you got the info you asked for. You can see a copy of your owner's manual by following this link.......

The information for your "wet bay" is on page 102 (Utility center).

The pic you inserted here, indicates that your system is set to "normal"..note that the first control is in position 3 and second one is in position 5. Thus the system is set to normal. To sanitize the first control would be set in the 2 position and the second one in position 4.

Normal is the setting to use when not connected to an external water supply. This uses fresh water from your fresh water holding tank and the on-board water pump to move water through the RV.

If you are connected to an external water supply (hose to a water outlet), you would set the controls to the "city water" position. Which would be first control in position 2 and the second one in position 5. This does not use water from your on-board holding tank so the water pump does not need to be on.

For reference: Left control dial pointing LEFT=position 1; Left control dial pointing UP=position 2; LEFT dial pointing Right=position 3........Right dial pointing LEFT=position 4; Right dial pointing UP=position 5; Right dial pointing RIGHT=position 6.

When packing up and heading home, do you always drain your hot water heater? Talking about a TT not MH.
Thanks, Mike

Did your dealer not do a delivery walkthrough with you? I would hook up and pay them a visit with ALL your questions. They should have labeled this for you. Then make checklists for every step of your camping experiences. It’s too easy to forget something, such as not securing the antenna, etc. even pilots with 10,000 hours use checklist. They work

We never drain our hot water heater unless we are winterizing or the rig will set for over a month. We go out at least once a month so the rig pretty much stays in use.

I created this explanation of the water valve alignments to help me remember when I was a newbie. I laminated it on a card and put it beside the water valves. After a year of camping you wont need it. Basically, City = water supplied by a hose, and everything else is using the onboard pump. Hope this helps.
