[VAC] Pressurized Water Systems

[wescott50@xxxxxxxxx (Bill Scott)]

Excellent reply Don Horn.  My 61 Bambi has an air pressure water system
and it works so well,  I wonder why the system was changed to on demand.
The beauty of the system, is that when you hook up to hose bib water,
and open the valve under the couch to the aluminum tank, the tank
becomes an accumulator tank.  The tank will fill almost to the top,
using the small amount of air in the tank, as the "cushion" and as the
"accumulator".  When I disconnect from the hose bib, and travel home,
the water system is charged, and I usually have pressure for 3 or 4 days
travel.   That is using the water sparingly of course.  I rarely fill
the water tank, because it will fill automatically, when I hook up to
city water.  My little 12 volt compressor works well to charge the
system when "boondocking",  and if need be, the schrader valve on the
water tank filler neck, can be used to charge the system, so it can be
blown dry for winter.
So,.........what's not to like???
