RV Water System Explained
The RV Water System is pretty easy to understand, once you know what goes where and why.
Hooking Up RV Water or Filling the Tank is easy since your RV has all the comforts of home. Including running water! Of course, since this is a home on wheels, you need to either; fill the fresh water tank and take the water with you or hook up to a water supply when you get to a site with full or partial hookups.
In this video, we will show you how to install a water filter, where the charcoal filter is, what a pressure regulator does, where to fill the water tank and the difference between the water tank and the City Water Connection.

If you want more information about the RV Water System. We have made an additional video here: https://youtu.be/WCkVSM_xOSA
Just purchased a used 2004 Coachman Concord 225 RK , this is the channel that helped the most. Thanks
Very informative, thank you!
where is the pump inside the motorhome
good video, thanks. Is that a Pantera in the background? Had one in the 80's fun car
Absolute rookie here. Just got my first RV, a used 2008 BTCruiser, 31'. Pretty excited, but the manual is somewhat lacking in how-to. This was my first video. Explained a lot. Thank you!
In all the videos I've watched I've never heard anyone show where water goes into tank inside and talk about vent that spews water out if it gets full. My tank is empty and not hooked up to city water and fresh water inlet is weeping water outside. Cant figure it out.
Did you put a filter on the city side?
I know each RV is different but I’m wondering now after watching her video if I actually need two hoses One for the city fill and one for the tank ?
What is charcoal filter for?
didnt help me at all sorry
Thank you! It seems simple yet being new I tend to over think lol. Thanks for assuring me I was doing it right.
what are the two connections under the RV that are the pressurized hot and cold water? what are those for? simply for some external use?
Thanks for this very easy breakdown. I also liked your labeling and photos! Very helpful!
best video about RV water system, tks a lot!
You explain everything quite well sir. But I have found in my experience with my camper it is always better to put the filter on the RV side of the hose instead of this spicket that way your not getting funny tasting water from the hose so as if you have the filter at the end by the RV it's filtering out the taste from the hose as well as the sediment from the spicket. Sorry for the typos I'm at work and don't have time to fix it.
Hi, is there a special hose I need for my 1998 fifth wheel ? or will a regular garden hose do ? Thanks
thanks for the info man, straight to the point, i got one question, can you run the shower with just the city connection or do you need the clean water tank to shower?
Newb here….
Really a great video -got to the point (no long winded annoying intro with crap music) and was made for those of us who really do not have the experience yet and seeking advice.
Sooo, is the interior water pump ‘On’ when filling the Fresh Water tank? I believe from your video is it mentioned that it is off.
When do you turn the water pump switch on? When you are on the road (not connected to a water source)?
You didn't cover sanitizing the system. You should have a 90 degree elbow going into the city water and your blue hose is full of kinks. Learn how to coil it without kinks.
No discussion about the settings for filling?
Super helpful, thanks!
alot of people use the expanding hose for less storage space…..
Thanks! I learned from this.
Just came across this video explaining how the water works. Definitely great information for someone just looking to get into travel trailers. Most certainly we are going to subscribe to look at your other videos, if their anything like this it’ll be an easy transition to camping. This is the most information inside just shorts span we have seen to date. Thank you for the help in saving us from a lot of trouble in the future
Good video bud! Thanks for the info. I will say my rv has two options for filling the tank, we could also fill it with the city hook up we just need to open the fill tank valve.
If you have a connection from the city for water, do you need to fill the fresh water tank at all? I am not going to be traveling with my 5th wheel so it will stay parked
I learned something. Much appreciated!
Nice to see you are using the Drain Master dump system. I have it to and think it is great
