Hello,

Well finally it is time to get to work on the camper. I am fired up. I have a few issues.

Picture one is where I hook up the city water (I am guessing), but it looks like I am missing a part. Can anyone help me out, please?

Picture two is where the water is draining when I flip the switch for the pump (I am guessing that is what the switch is for). I am guessing that this is where the fresh water tank empties when I need to empty it out for transportation. It appears that there should be something there to keep it from just dumping constantly when I turn on the pump. Is there an attachment or something that needs to be placed on here. I am thinking of installing a valve on the inside of the camper under the sink. Would that work better than finding the attachment I need for the underneath of the camper.

And lastly when I get it plugged and stopped, will that allow me to build enough pressure to take a shower?

I appreciate all the help in advance.

Picture 1 is where you fill the fresh water tank. You use your garden hose at home or the hose in a campground. At home you should use a hose made for fresh water.
Picture 2 is where you hook up hook up city water. the end is corroded off. also the back check valve is under there and it is bad, the reason water is coming out when the pump is on. Look at some of the manuals in the Reference Library. there are pictures that show these items.

Picture # 1 iswhere you fill your freshwater tank. Your pump draws the water from here. Picture #2 is for the campsites that have a water faucet on site. The built in check valve is leaking. Two solutions,Replace the whole unit ( may have at Walmart or any RV store) or a male hose plug at tyhe Rv store. This will stop leakage and alow the pump to presurize the water lines. Two types of camping one with water at your site and one with your only source of water from your freshwater tank that you possibly filled at home.

Nothing is missing from picture #1. You have all the parts. One time my neighbor and I were having a converasation while washing our HiLo. We left the fresh fill door open and crunched it when we lowered the HiLo. Straightened it out the best we could because a new one costs $60.00. sam

There should be a drain valve to drain the fresh water tank, many Hi-Lo trailers have it on the curb side front corner. If not there you may have to crawl underneath to find it.

I'm having problems filling my tank, like its airlocked and it spits the water back out. Believe having the forward end of the trailer too low may cause this.
Do I need to raise it pitched up slightly?
Thanks

Den, That sounds more like the tank is full. Have you checked it? There is a small hole to allow the air to escape - It is on the left in Cav117's photo #1. Even if that was blocked filling slowly should work,

One time this happened to me on a campout without my husband. A fellow camper came to my rescue. We lifted up the couch and took the clamp off the water hose. It must have had an airlock. Lifted up hose then clamped hose back. Has worked many years trouble free.

Den2,
You should have an access door to the inside next to the Tank fill door. I assume your fill is in the front like my 2209. Open it and check the fill hose inside, mine on the 2209 went up before going down, this causes the water to push back out. The fix was to put a large wire tie on the hose where it was going up and tie it down to one of the pipes, so that it all slants down hill. Hope you understand, not sure I explained it right.

Den2, We recently purchased our 2406 T that was having the very same problem. What I found was, when they were making the fill valve to tank connection, they had too much of the filler hose connected. It actually arced upward so that when the hose was inserted, the water was trying to run uphill and flowed back toward the outside filler. I took the filler hose off and cut an inch or two off it to make it drop downward slightly and it works fine now.
