Title: Water Valve Settings
Post by: custerhank on May 06, 2022, 01:08:18 pm

  Does anyone have pix of the water valve handle settings under the kitchen drawers? We have a 2019 3100, are on our first summer adventure and having a senior moment. Dewinterizing went fine but hot and cold are sporadic and are changing at will each spigot. Who would imagine there are so many possible combinations of valve settings? I just assumed all the handles should be "on" (parallel to the water lines) for summer use but does not seem so. Pix via email (hanknjoyce@netzero.net) or text (443-799-0045) would be most appreciated. Or just post here.

  Thanks,

Hank, the center valve should NOT be "On"--parallel with the pipe--it should be "Off"--cross-wise.  The two outside valves should be "On"--parallel with their pipes--just as you have them.
With the center valve also in "On" position, it is allowing hot and cold water to mix at that point.

Thank you.

I just googled and found it.  If you want to share the diagram with other RV owners, here is the link for sharing or downloading.

Ron,

  A belated Thank You for that great diagram. Very helpful. Even I can understand it. Do you think the next edition of the PC Owner's Guide will include it? Sure would help along with other diagrams/pix about where to find stuff like drain/shut off handles etc. I know the factory cannot cover all the bases (You Tube videos do help) but I was surprised by the lack of specificity in the latest Owner's Manual and the abundance of generalized instructions. But, to be fair, they do answer my questions when I call.
