Default Air in Water Line

This is my first trip (2 wks) out and boy am I learning a lot about my RV (1998 Coach House). One problem I haven't solved: when I hook up the water and first turn it on (using the water pump) air spurts out and makes an awful mess.

How do I eliminate the air in the line so it doesn't do that?

(A lesson learned: if you don't want to blow your fuses and/or trip your breakers, plug into the 30 amp, not the 20 amp when you're using AC and microwave.)

Default Re: Air in Water Line

If you have an outdoor shower or tap open that first....you can release the air first by flushing the toilet....open the taps just a crack so no water comes out and just air. Do this for the hot and cold water prior to turning on the water heater.
