What type of plumbing is used in RVs?
Plastic tubing, such as PEX tubing and ABS pipes, is often used in RV plumbing systems.
How does the plumbing system work in an RV?
The RV plumbing system is very similar to that in a residential home. The only difference is that the water comes from a storage tank instead of a water supply line while used water collects in separate holding tanks.
The freshwater system consists of a freshwater tank holding the water supply, a water pump pressuring the water, and various pipes and fixtures distributing the water. For waste management, RVs have separate tanks for holding gray water (wastewater from sinks and showers) and black water (waste from toilets). These tanks are usually located underneath the RV and equipped with valves for emptying.
What are the essential products for RV plumbing and sanitation?
Here are some essential RV sanitation and plumbing products that you should have on the road:
·A freshwater hose for filling your freshwater tank.
·A water pressure regulator to protect your RV’s plumbing system from high water pressure.
·A water filter to improve the quality of drinking water.
·Holding tank treatments to control odours in gray and black water tanks.
·A sturdy sewer hose for emptying waste tanks.
