Plumbing Diagram Needed

I have low water pressure in my coach and am looking for a plumbing diagram of the cold and hot water system.

Coach is a 2008 Camelot, but any diagram close will help me.

Good luck. Do you have a whole house water filter? Change it. Do you have a pressure regulator? Take it out of the system and check pressure.

Just City water, pump or both with low pressure? If just city, check all hose connections for screens being clogged with sand/debris. Then check/remove regulator, it's usually one or the other

Only city water. That is what I figured, but I can't find them. That is why I was looking for a diagram. Hard to see behind the wet bay panel. Only access is from the bay to the front side, looking through an access panel. I can get my head in there, OR one arm, but not both. Making it difficult when I don't know where to look.

I don't know your coach, sorry. Usually the regulator is at or just after the first hose type connection on the coach. It could be about 2" square and anout 3 " long. If you can't find it, at least break all hose type connections and look for any screened washers. Clean and or replace. Hopefully someone with a like coach will be along soon.

I have the same problem with my 2008 Camelot Monaco - I have moved the filter to the wet bay - changed hoses - nothing has improved the pressure even without a regulator in the system. I would like to get a fresh water plumibing diagram if anyone has one. They can email me direct at clacy39@sbcglobal.net Thanks Clarence

I can't find it. Do you have an exact link to the page. Closest I found was in the owners manual for 2008 Camelot. Page 139 is in the plumbing section, but there is not a diagram.

I have similar coach - 2008 Camelot PDQ.

These were built when Monaco was in the process of going broke and I have found lots of situations where the drawings don't match the "as built".

For example, my coach shows the water filter should be mounted on the wash bay panel, but it's not. They stuck it way back behind the panel on the floor under the black and gray tanks. The pump is in there too. The only access without pulling the panel is through a small hatch in the adjacent basement bay and that hatch is hard to detect since it's edges blend into the fabric on the wall of the bay.

Once you find and pull the hatch, you need to be young, small, and nimble to get in there and I am none of those.

I never had the low pressure problem, but I did have a clogged macerator pump and they located that behind the panel too, so I finally had to pull the wash bay panel. That was not easy either, but once it is out, you will have rull access to all your plumbing and you really won't need a schematic, since it's all there in front of you.

Rather than put that old plastic panel back in, I'm having my shop fab me a new one out of a sheet of aluminum. I'll make sure to install it such that it is easy to remove the next time and I'm going to relocate the filter to the front of the panel like it should have been in the first place.

That is the same layout as mine with the pump and filter behind the panel. I have been in there several times. I have not yet had to pull the front white panel.

My problem is fixed, even though I do not know what I did to fix it. Just removed a bunch of fittings, filter, and one way valve. All looked good, assembled same way and have better pressure. I must have knocked some trash loose somewhere.

FYI, the solar panel controller is mounted to the ceiling inside that compartment. That would be a hard find if I had not just happened to look up.
