Air in water on new Rpod 195 - Event Date: 27 Jun 2020

You should refill the RV's fresh water tank before bleeding the air out of the RV's water line. You will use this to exhaust all the air in the entire water system. Turn on the motorhome's water pump and open the faucet farthest from the pump. Close faucets and other water fixtures. Let the water run for a few minutes to a few hours or until you notice a steady stream of water. You won't hear any sputtering sound. Steady or solid flow is always a good indicator of the absence of air in your water line.

Is the hot water tank full?? If the hot water tank is not completely filled, you will get air until you finally draw enough water into the tank.

I've run my "self priming pump" 15 minutes without water flow. Finally used my antifreeze line to prime the pump and away it went. Nothing was bad, it just didn't self prime.

Ok so I have found all 3 shutoff / bypass valves in Rpod 2020. For the pump Valve enter via outside storage door and remove panel on right held by 4 screws. . For shutoff valves for water heater enter by vacuum cleaner. Yes you heard this right. It is ridiculous! But there is a small 4x4 panel held by 4 screws   Inside there are 2 valves. On function is the Handel inline with hoses which is what you want when hot water is in use. Off is perpendicular to hoses which is where you want them after system is drained and before you put in antifreeze to winterize rv.    Now to figure why water pump grabs air all the time

Hi Stephen. Thx for your reply. 1   I filled fresh water tank completely till overflowing. 2. I’m relying on water from tank not city water so pump is on 3. I can only locate the valve on water pump (accessed in front storage area opposite side of outdoor stove through kick out held by 4 screws) where I checked   the valve switch and it’s correct and in full position located between pump and suction hose to pull in anti freeze. But although I know where hot water heater is and that 1 valve I can not locate the 2 other valves to see if they are fully engaged in correct position. The hot water heater is at back of rig but no access to the hoses thT I can see   Any clue where to find them in my model.? Good idea to check those valves. Just gotta find them! Not much online yet about this model as it’s a new Rpod -195 model. 2020 year.
