Expert Answers about RV Fresh Water Tank


  • Can the Camco Motor Home Water Filter CAM40631 Be Used on RV Water Pumps?
  • No, the Camco Motor Home and Boat Premium Water Filter item # CAM40631 is just designed for exterior use on hose lines. For an RV water pump you would want the Clearsource Onboard RV Water Filter System - 2 Canister - 0.2 Micron - Indoor item # CS27FR.

  • Does the Empire Faucets RV Kitchen Faucet # EM22WR Have a Removable Aerator?
  • The Empire Faucets RV Kitchen Faucet # EM22WR does not have a removable aerator. This is going to be true for most all faucets this style and an easy solution is using a couple AquaFresh Interior Inline Replacement Water Filter w/ 1/2" Fittings # AF24FR. This is going to be similar to whole RV Filters # CAM40045 but has the much smaller fitting used on faucets inside an RV.

  • How to Determine Correct 3" Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank
  • Hi Joe, So you just need to know if the valve you are replacing slid over your pipe or into your pipe, and I'll go over how for you. If both ends of your waste valve slid into your sewer pipe you will need the Valterra Bladex Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - 3" Spigot to 3" Spigot # T40A. If both ends of your waste valve slid over your sewer pipe you will need the Valterra Bladex Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - 3" Hub to 3" Hub # T40B. If one end of your waste valve slid...

  • Replacement For Atwood Water Heater With no Tank Available
  • Hi Carl; Atwood (which made your water heater) is no longer in business and replacement tanks are not made for them, so the best we can offer is replacing your heater with a new one, the tankless Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR. These give you on-demand hot water and are far more energy efficient than heaters with tanks. I know it's not what you asked for but I thought I'd give you the option since a replacement Atwood tank isn't something made anymore.

  • Will Tankless Water Heater Conserve Energy While Off-Grid Camping
  • Hey Mike, that's a good question and the answer 100 percent is yes, go with a tankless water heater while off-grid camping. They use less energy and work faster so the only water and energy you use is exactly what is needed. All you need to do is find the best door size for your camper, though you'll have to make some adjustments/trimming with the cut out in order to replace your Atwood water heater there's honestly just no way around that because water heater door sizes are not universal....

  • Can the Valterra RV Water Tank # R8066 be Installed So That it is Taller or Shorter
  • The Valterra RV Water Tank # R8048 can be installed standing up for laying down as is demonstrated in the 2 attached photos. If you have it oriented so that it sits taller the drain plug will already be in a position to drain properly. Should you choose to mount it so that it has a lower profile you will simply need to use one of the pre-drilled holes as a drain. If you finish drilling them through to the tank you will be able to use them as a drain as you can see in the attached picture...

  • Recommended Flush Valve and Tank Rinser
  • Based on what you described I do not think the Flush King Reverse Flush Valve item # F02-4350 is going to be the right part for you. Sounds like you've got too much distance for the water to travel from the opening. Instead, I recommend using the Tornado 360-Degree RV Holding Tank Rinser w/ 6' Long Hose item # CAM40126. The Tornado item # CAM40126 installs in the side of your tank and has a 360-Degree rotating head with 10 high-pressure nozzles which reaches every area of your holding...

  • Will Water Pressure Damage 3-Way RV Water Heater Bypass Valve
  • When you winterize your trailer you should be draining the tanks before you bypass the water heater so there wouldn't really be any pressure to damage the # 37262255. Regardless, it should hold up to any pressure in the water line.

  • What Allen Key Is Needed for the Lippert FlowMax Fresh Water RV Pump
  • Hey Wayne, I'm not seeing anywhere on the Flow Max # LC689052 that has Allen heads and Lippert does not call out an Allen key anywhere, so I'm not too sure where it's needed - but, what you can do is just take an Allen set like # PT44ZR which has both SAE and Metric sizes, and just try different ones until one fits.

  • Replacement Atwood Water Heater for Model GC10A-4E
  • The best water heater replacement for your Atwood GC10A-4E is the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR98SR because the tankless feature means you have quicker and prolonged access to hot water, whereas your current heater is limited to the size of the tank. Tankless heaters are still fairly new so I'm attaching a review video for you to reference.

  • Replacement Recommendation for a G6A-7 Atwood Water Heater

Attached is a review video for you to check out!

  • Recommended RV Water Inlets For A 2005 Exiss Horse Trailer
  • Hey Lagina, If you're just looking for a water inlet then we have single (city water or potable water) or dual inlet options available. For a gravity fill water tank inlet you can use # A01-2003VP (white) or # A01-2003BKVP (black).

  • Water Heater Replacement Recommendation for GC6AA-10E
  • Atwood and Dometic basically stopped carrying the water heater you have so it would be time to go with something different. I don't know what your cut out is exactly but my parents replaced an Atwood water heater in their RV with the Furrion Tankless part # FR98SR and it worked really well and they prefer it to the older tank setup. The dimensions of this are 19-3/16" deep x 12-5/8" tall x 12-13/16".

  • Can Freshwater Tank in Trailer With Crack on Top & Algae be Fixed or Replaced
  • Hi Sheryl, Excellent question, and while replacing it is certainly a viable option, I think what I would do in your situation is first try the alternative you mentioned, which is seal it up and treat the tank because the crack is just at the top. If you find out you have to replace it then fine, but sealing it and treating it is a pretty inexpensive fix that I'd give a shot. Also, after cleaning the tank I do highly recommend using something to help prevent the algae growth, the Camco...

  • Flow Max RV Fresh Water Pump Shutoff Test Pressure
  • Hi Ken; I reached out to Lippert on this and they were unable to find the specific pressure from the # LC689052 testing. It is a large company and sometimes information gets lost across it with other brands like the Flow Max. I would say the pump is well built and we haven't had any reports of it leaking aside from a faulty one that was replaced under the 2-year warranty. The pump is going to operate at the 50 psi mark so when it drops below that it will turn on and then at 50-55 psi it...

  • Recommended Replacement Water Heater for an Atwood G6A6
  • Hey Bruce, I recommend going with the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR to replace your Atwood G6A6 water heater. This water heater has a 60,000 btu rating which is quite the step up from what you have currently, is a tankless unit so it'll provide hot water on demand (whenever you need it), and will produce up to 144 gallons of hot water per hour. You're also going to want to get some butyl tape # AL28FJ for the unit and access door mounting flanges, as well as some sealant #...

  • Replacement Water Heater for an Atwood G6A6 6 Gallon Water Heater
  • Thank you for all of the pictures and information! The Atwood line of water heaters went out of business a number of years ago so to replace your water heater I highly recommend the Furrion RV Tankless Water Heater # FR48SR because it has superior performance to the older tank-style heaters and is more efficient as well. Please note that the installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or gas supplier.
