Dry Camping with Eagle Premiere 5W

[kisrael]

Help! We bought a 2013 Eagle Premiere 5W at auction and it came with no manual. I downloaded the manual online but no help there. We are trying to dry camp. We did it last summer, filled out water tank got to our spot for the week and low and behold, no water. Replaced the water filter and still nothing. The diagram of the water valves for city fill, country fill, etc is so impossible to understand and I can't find help for it anywhere. Any ideas how these work when dry camping? We filled the tank with hose from home before leaving. Maybe just had on wrong setting?

We own an Eagle Premier and the settings for water when dry camping need to be in "normal" setting.

A pic of your water panel will probably get you the answers.

We got it switched over but there is barely a trickle of water. Do you have any problems with your original water pump? Wondering if it is strong enough to pump the water out.

The pump has a filter screen which could be blocked. Which 5th do you have? You say it’s switched over, if it’s like my panel you want the “Normal” setting. There’s also no guarantee that a PO didn’t make some “special” mods to the water lines.

Sometimes the fresh water pump will loose it's prime especially if it was operated with no water in the fresh tank. You may have to prime the fresh water pump.
