1995 U295 Object Identity

Trying to identify a few things and looking for a little help from those that might have experience with my model year and make...

Pic 1 - The tags are no longer on the blue and red handles.  Anyone with a similar set up know what they are.  I'm assuming the RED is hot water circuit and one of the blues is the cold water circuit.  I have yet to find the main fill and dump valve (maybe one of them is the other blue?

Pic 2 - Does anyone know if the FRESH water input on these already has a pressure regulator?  I'm already super excited about some of the small little features such as the wastewater and sewage tank flush access!

Pic 3 - I'm assuming the coax input where my had is is the local site feed.  Is the one in the ceiling for an external TV?  Any idea if any of the other bays have one hiding?

Pictures are from 1997 U295. Is probably very similar to the 1995.

The valve for fresh tank fill on our coach is under the sink in the bathroom. There is no pressure regulator for fresh water on our coach.

I'll guess,

Photo 1.  Maybe the tank or system drains, as the right ends look to be going down into the bottom insulated layer of the belly pan.  Look under the coach for open pipe ends.

Photo 2.  Not have read that water systems have build in pressure regulators.  Have read they have check valves to prevent the onboard pump from pumping water back into the service bay.

Photo 3.  Your hand seems to be on the park cable feed inlet.  Good guess that the other might be for external walk out sat. dish maybe.

Hmmm, I would have thought that the park cable feed inlet would also be used for the external walk out sat and you would just move the coax from the TV to the sat box?  I take possession on Saturday and will have more time to dig into all of this through December.

Benjie,

Congratulations on the new coach.

On my 1995 U320,

Photo 1 - The drain valves are (from left to right) cold water lines, hot water lines and fresh water tank.

Photo 2 - The brass water hose style water pressure regulator is behind the panel and is screwed directly to the back side of the hose inlet fitting.  You can not see it unless you remove the top panel and look down the bottom panel with your head nearly inside the space.

Photo 3 - The coax inlet on the top panel is factory installed for park cable TV.  It is controlled by the multi-switch in the coach that has antenna, cable and VCR as selections.

The ceiling mount is after manufacture and my guess is Satellite TV.  If it is satellite, it will be routed directly to the satellite receiver area in your coach.  It will not work for satellite if routed through the selector switch used to select the cable TV input.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks Rudy!  Couple clarifications...

1. Will the top panel come off with just removing the four corner screws or do I first need to remove the electrical outlet, water pump switch, and CATV/phone inputs?  I'm hoping mine also has a regulator, but would hate to make the assumption.

2. Where is your water tank fill valve?

Thanks,
Benjie

Benjie,

The items mounted to the top panel will allow one to move the panel to where they can be disconnected or set to the side for viewing/working inside the space.

Remove the screws along either side securing the panel, pull it out first to see what will need to be disconnected.  Removing the faucet from its valve body will provide more room to work too.

My fresh water fill valve is a manual ball valve located in the floor of the bathroom sink cabinet.  I just open the door under the sink and turn the handle.  I can hear the water start to rush through the valve as I open it.

Benjie,
My fresh water fill valve is mounted by the pump and the controll switch is by the bathroom light switches on the side of the sink.
If you go to the trouble to open the panel to check on the pressure regulator i would have a new one (mine is a brass regulator) to install while you are there. I would also change both dump valves while i am in there.

Interesting. I'll check there as well as under the bathroom sink. Wonder why they would have had different locations in '95 unless they needed to move it due to coach length?

Remember, 320s had an electrically controlled fill valve. Poor people buying a lesser model had to operate the valve manually, so they left it under the sink where it had always been.

I'm not sure but maybe the manually operated valve would be better! Simple is good.

John,

Your are correct in not being able to see an electric valve in photo 1.  In my case, the fill valve is the simple manual ball valve located in the bathroom sink cabinet.

However, if I had an electric valve, it would be behind the drain valves in photo 1 right at the back wall of that space, behind the water pump.  It would be very hard to see and very hard to find if you were not sure it was there.  Been there and looked and looked for a friend's electric valve before I knew where to look for sure.

Mine has been replaced with a ball valve already. Most people did.
