water system diagram?

Does anyone have a fresh water system plumbing diagram, as currently used on the Dutch Star, Mountain Aire, & London Aire.

One that shows
> how fresh water is routed to the house pex & fresh water tank
> location of switching valves & water pump
> hot & cold lines to the external shower
> hot water line to the generator compartment

Trying to determine how best to connect -
> soft water system
> de-ionize water system
> pressure washer faucets, hot & cold

Thanks.

Newmar gave me some basic plumbing and electrical diagrams on a CD. They are not super specific, Newmar, for example, does not use wire harnesses, all wiring is point to point. Maybe they have better ones now, try calling their service line, they will try to help.

The majority of the plumbing connections to are in the wet bay, behind the dress panel. It is relatively difficult to remove since components are attached to it on both sides and lines are going thru it. With some agility it is possible to work on things by reaching from under the panel. For power washer connection I removed the outside shower and replaced it with two boiler faucets. The Mountain Aire and London Aire may come with a cold water hose in on the panel.
If you order a coach from Newmar you may be able to specify some of your connection requirements as specials. Click image for larger version

Have been meaning to do this as well, but don't have it completed. Just wanted to agree with earlier post that almost everything of interest is behind the panel in the wet bay. Carefully feeling around and taking pictures will answer a lot of questions. One note I wanted to make is to watch out for the non-return (check) valves. Where you think the water can go, it sometimes can't. For example, you can't fill the fresh water tank using the winterize suction hose and then opening the fill valve...a non-return prevents that.

By the way, there is a trick to accomplish that if you make a mod similiar to what's shown in the earlier post where the shower is replaced with hose bibs or similar (I used a Phoenix faucet that has a plug in option for a garden hose). Then you can connect your fresh water hose to this outlet. Sounds a bit like plugging an extension cord back into itself, but then if you use the winterize suction hose into a water carrier you can top off your fresh water tank.
