Water Safety Water Filtration

Learn how to make sure your RV water is the cleanest possible.

From "RV Roadtrips"
episode DRVR-110

Host Gary Bunzer explains to Michael Foster how the water at RV Parks isn't always the cleanest or the safest. They examine the Foster's interior water filter and decide it's time to install an exterior water filter that filters all water before it enters the rig. They mount the filter bracket and run the proper hoses to and from the filter.

Gary Bunzer shows Michael Foster how to install an exterior water filtration system.
