  RV Plumbing 101

   

  Your water system is one of the most important thing that you don’t want to take for granted especially when you are camping or planning to travel and stay with your RV for a while. Having said that, it is important that you have at least a basic knowledge about how your RV plumbing works and that you have the right tools handy with you for small and quick fixes that can save you time and money. For the best brands and reliable plumbing parts and accessories you can visit rvpartshop.com.

   

  How does an RV Plumbing System work?

  The process of your RV plumbing system is actually pretty simple. The water tank that supplies clean water to your rig is typically located under the chassis. The water is distributed inside your RV with the help of the water pump that applies pressure to the system, allowing the water to go where it’s supposed to. The used or dirty water is then sent back to separate tanks under the chassis which will have to be disposed properly.

   

  Replacing freshwater on your tank is done with the help of a water hose that you can connect to a water source or by refilling it through portable water jugs that you can bring during your trips. Though there are still other technical processes involved with your RV plumbing system, this is pretty much the simplest picture.

   

  What are the basic tools, items and accessories I should keep handy?

   

  Portable water hose and Water hose extension

  These items are necessary to have during your camping or trips to keep your water system clean and to be ready in whatever situation you might encounter in the RV camp.

   

  Water pressure regulator

  This tool is important in making sure that your RV water system is safe from too much pressure when connected to any water source. Extreme pressure can cause major damage to the plumbing system so it is wise to have this tool handy every time you connect or refill for freshwater.

   

  Tank cleaners and water filters

  Keeping your tanks clean and free from dirt and odor is easy with the use of tank cleaners and water filters. Make sure that your water filter is working properly and replaced if needed, to keep your tanks from being contaminated. Tank cleaners are there to clean your water tanks after you dispose the dirty waters and before replacing them with clean water.  

   

  RV Water fresheners and softeners

  Theseproducts will help to keep your plumbing system in good shape, keep your water safe and healthy and keep you from expensive repairs due to hard water.  

   

  Water Jug

  If you are planning a long trip or camping and you do not expect to find a water source nearby, it is better to be ready than be sorry. Always bring few water jugs with clean water with you just in case you will need more or you won’t find any clean waters source. You can also use these water jugs to store your drinking water.

   

  Safety and sanitary items

  When disposing and replacing your water make sure to keep things clean and do not forget to wear your gloves. Your tissues, toilet paper and other items you dispose in your water tubes should also be considered.

  Kitchen – A Short Walk-Through

   

  When it comes time to get dinner on the table, all the helpful products we carry in our kitchen accessories section will be sure to have you cooking like a pro in no time. This is where to come when you're looking for small appliances, cookware, housewares, glassware, kitchen essentials, space savers, thermometers, kitchen tools, trash handling and accessories for your kitchen.

   

  One of the many pleasurable moments in taking your RV on the road is the fact that you can cook along the way. Cooking the food you like on your RV kitchen will allow your traveling companions to skip on fast foods, enjoy good old home cooking, while at the same time also saving you some money.

   

  Depending on the size of your RVs, your budget, and the type of kitchen you want, there are a whole lot of choices to meet your culinary needs on the road. Here’s a brief guide to different RV kitchens.

   

  Kitchen types

  Class A kitchens are usually inside the biggest RVs there are and certainly boasts of being the biggest and the most well-equipped. The only things missing would be the sprawling counter tops and a dishwasher. Hand-washing the dishes is not all that bad, either.

   

  Class B kitchens are small, but they have all you need to cook a decent meal, only in miniature. The designers are clever with their space-saving techniques but they don’t have much to flaunt. (Ovens cannot be accommodated.) They have a small refrigerator, two-burner stoves, and a single-basin sink.

   

  Some of the smaller class C kitchens also skip the oven and go small with the sink and refrigerator to save on space. Most, however, have full-size sinks, an oven and a stove, a refrigerator and a microwave.

   

  The fifth-wheel kitchens are the biggest and have most of the space there is in an RV, but still without a dishwasher.

   

  Appliances and equipment

  Not all RV kitchens have ovens. Some do but are largely unused because it is hard to get them started. You need to relight them every time when used, and they have the tendency to cook unevenly.

   

  RV stoves are gas-powered and they only have two burners (or sometimes three).  Cooking might then need an extra planning to cook all the food you want.

   

  Microwaves work the same way it does at home. Only, the RV can only pull a limited 30 or 50 amperes of power at one time. It is easy to trip a circuit breaker if you are using a hair dryer, toaster, air conditioner, coffee makers and such items.

   

  RV refrigerators can take up to 48 hours to work like new. Using it for the first time would need some water bottles to help it cool down faster. They can use propane or electricity, but if you have access to electric power, use the electric option to save on propane.

   

  Taps in RV sinks can pull water directly from your freshwater tank with a pump or allow water from an outside tap (source). The freshwater tank has limited water supply and it is important to ration water during stints without water hookups.

   

  In an RV, counter space in the kitchen are not easy to come by at all because of the limited space. It doesn’t make it easier either to have such limited prep space when cooking.

   

  However, all these limitations in an RV kitchen does not take away much of the fun in cooking and enjoying the food.
