      How to Fill Water Tanks in Your Zone RV: Step-by-Step Guide

      Follow These Simple Steps to Fill Water Tanks in Your Vehicle Safely and Efficiently

      Filling water tanks in your vehicle is an essential part of preparing for any outdoor adventure. Whether you're camping or taking a road trip, it's important to know how to fill your water tanks safely and efficiently. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started.

      1. Ensure all TANK VALVES are in the CLOSED position

      Before you start filling your water tanks, make sure that all the tank valves are closed. This will prevent water from escaping while you fill the tanks.

      2. Ensure WASHING M/C VALVE is in the CLOSED position

      If your vehicle has a washing machine, make sure that the washing machine valve is also closed. This will prevent water from entering the washing machine while you fill the tanks.

      3. Connect a hose from water source to desired tank hose fitting

      Connect a hose from a clean water source to the hose fitting of the tank that you want to fill. Make sure that the hose is securely attached to the fitting to prevent leaks.

      4. Tanks should take about 10-15 mins to fill from empty

      The time it takes to fill your water tanks will depend on the size of the tank and the water pressure. On average, it should take about 10-15 minutes to fill a tank from empty.

      5. When filling from mains, only turn the tap to half pressure to ensure efficient fill rate

      If you are filling your tanks from a mains water supply, it's important to only turn the tap to half pressure. This will ensure that the water flows into the tanks efficiently and doesn't cause any damage to the tanks or fittings.

      6. Check on REDVISION display to monitor tank levels

      While you're filling the tanks, it's important to keep an eye on the REDVISION display to monitor the tank levels. This will help you to avoid overfilling the tanks, which can cause damage to the tanks or fittings.
