Question:
My husband and I are looking at a 1999 Coachman pop up camper and
one thing the current owners could not tell us about is the sink
because they never used running water in it. It has a white faucet
with a lever on the right side that when you pump it you can get water
from the holding tank, but when we hook the hose to the outside of the
pop up for "city" water, we are not getting any water. We are still
getting water from the holding tank. Does anyone know how to switch
over to city water line instead of holding tank? They seemed to think
it had something to do with a water regulating valve, that because
there was not one on there, is the reason why we were not getting any
water??? Does this sounds right? I would appreciate any help
Answer:
If the faucet is made by J&C water systems, you push the handle all the
way down till it locks for
city water or move handle up & down for tank water. You really need a
pressure regulator added
to the spigot first, then the hose connected to it, then connected to the
camper. Too much pressure
from a city water connection will blow out the hose fittings inside the
camper if you're not carefull.
You can buy a "BRASS" not blue plastic regulator at wally world for under
$5.00.
