When hooking up to water, Jacyo Class C motorhomes have a couple of settings.
Check out this video on how the system works.
City Water Connection, connection point on the right, is to connect your water hose to the outside spigot. Use the dial (use below) to adjust how you are using the water. The left water connector is Sewer Flush this is used ONLY to flush the black tank and must follow proper procedure, so you don’t shoot water into the RV!!
Normal is position 3 and 5. Normal is for when you want to use water onboard and NOT hooked up to an outside spigot. Water will be coming from your freshwater tank and will require the Water Pump to be ON to pull water from the freshwater tank.
City Tank Fill, position 1 & 6, is for filling the freshwater tank. You must be connected an outside spigot. You will know the freshwater tank is full because water will come out of the overflow value on the bottom of the camper. This is for filling ONLY, not for using water on board.
City Water Fixtures, position 2 & 6, is for using water onboard while hooked up to an outside spigot. The water pump must be OFF. In this position, you will NOT fill the freshwater tank onboard, as it is not needed.
Winterizing and dewinterizing your RV may sound like routine tasks, but the benefits extend far beyond just safeguarding your vehicle from the harsh winter elements. In this article, we will discuss the often-overlooked benefits of RV winterization and maintenance. Particularly with a focus on the need for roof and wall inspections.
GETTING TO KNOW WINTERIZATION
RV winterization? Just how important is it to RV Care?
It’s like giving your trusty companion a warm coat. Imagine shielding your rig from the icy grip of winter. It’s a must!
Remember, that it’s not only about the pipes. It’s about protecting every spot against the freezing temperatures. It’s your RV’s shield against winter’s chill. Forgetting to winterize your RV can lead to big problems like frozen pipes and damaged fixtures. You don’t want to let that happen to you!
7 RV WINTERIZATION BENEFITS

Winter RV maintenance extends the life of your vehicle by addressing the unique challenges posed by colder months. As we explore these benefits, keep in mind, it’s not just about surviving winter; it’s about thriving in it. It’s about enhancing the overall RV experience and is an absolute game-changer for your RV’s health.
1. Protecting Your Investment and Extending Lifespan
RV Winterization benefits go beyond mere preservation. Think of it as a shield for your investment, shielding it from the onslaught of winter. The roof and wall inspections during this process ensure that your RV’s structural integrity remains intact, leading to a longer lifespan. Protecting it from wear and tear associated with winter elements and the need for expensive repairs caused by winter-related damage.
2. Energy Efficiency: Saving More Than Just Money
Dewinterizing an RV involves preparing it for active use. Did you know that this process can contribute to energy efficiency? By optimizing insulation through roof and wall inspections, your RV becomes a cozy space, saving both energy and money in the long run.
3. Preserving Resale Value: The Silent Appreciation
or those considering selling or upgrading their RV in the future, winterization is a silent appreciator of resale value. The meticulous attention given to roof and wall inspections ensures that potential buyers see not just a vehicle but a well-maintained investment.
4. Prevention of Freezing Pipes
Winterizing helps prevent the freezing of water pipes and plumbing systems, reducing the risk of costly repairs.
5. Structural Integrity Year-Round
Winter RV maintenance ensures your vehicle’s structural integrity is maintained throughout the year. By focusing on roof and wall inspections, you’re not just preventing winter damage but also fortifying your RV for every season. Investing time and effort in winter maintenance pays off when you embark on your next RV adventure, guaranteeing a smooth and trouble-free travel experience.
6. Prevention of Interior
Investing time and effort in winter maintenance pays off by safeguarding against temperature extremes. Winterization helps preserve the interior components of your RV, including furniture, appliances, and electronics.
Additionally, proper ventilation and moisture control during winterization reduces the risk of mold and mildew growth inside the RV.
7. Cultivating a Joyful RV Experience

With COVID-19 throwing the economy into a tailspin, we’re all looking for ways to bring in some extra income. Fortunately, if you own a recreational vehicle (RV), you can generate a return on your investment by renting it out when you’re not using it. We at Williamson Auto & RV, LLC, specialize in RV consignment and serve as property managers for RV owners seeking to rent out their campers without any of the hassle.
An RV can be a major expense, and it might seem like it’s not worth the outlay if you’re only using it a few weeks a year. Why not offset some of the costs of ownership and generate passive income while your camper would otherwise just sit idle and unused? Owners of RVs who choose to work with us benefit from hands-off renting while still being able to use their camper whenever they wish.
What is included in RV Consignment?
When you list with us, we take over all of the day-to-day responsibility. We market your unit to targeted audiences and handle all customer inquiries. We provide storage for your RV, process bookings and meet with customers for RV pick-up and return. We show customers how to hook and unhook water, electric and sewage lines, and overall how to work the unit. When needed, we deliver units to customers at their home or destination. Between rentals, we clean your camper in and out, change out the linens, replenish supplies and take care of all the turnover logistics. You just leave the keys with us and watch money show up in your bank account after every rental.
We’re always looking to add new units to our fleet and are specifically looking for Class A and Class C drivable units at this time. Whether you’ve already made the investment in an RV or are considering buying one and looking to reduce the overall cost, give us a call and we’ll grab a coffee and chat. Your investment is our investment, and we’d be happy to discuss the process with you and answer any questions you might have.
So you’ve decided you want to rent a recreational vehicle (RV) for your next vacation or family gathering. Now you need to figure out the right type of RV for your needs. The best choice will depend on a number of factors, including whether you want a drivable or towable unit, the towing abilities and capacities of your towing vehicle if you go that route, the features you want the vehicle to include and the number of people you need to house. Williamson Auto & RV, LLC, has a fleet of both drivable and towable units that can sleep between four and nine people, so we have a great camper ready for you that’s ideal for your next getaway.
People use a range of terms for RVs, and while many are interchangeable, others denote important distinctions. To start, recreational vehicle/RVs and campers are broad terms for moveable motor vehicles or trailers designed with living quarters for human accommodation. Drivable units feature an incorporated cab for all-in-one convenience, and towable units allow drivers to use their own truck or SUV to haul the trailer.
Types of Drivable RV Units
Drivable units, also known as motorhomes, are subdivided into Classes A, B and C based on their size and design. Class A units resemble flat-front buses and offer the most space and luxury of the different RV styles. Class B units, often called campervans, are the smallest and most fuel-efficient option of the drivable varieties, and they generally feature one bed and don’t include amenities like showers and toilets. Class C units split the difference between the two extremes and provide more living space, often including an alcove berth over the cab, than a Class B as well as restroom facilities and more room for cooking, dining and sleeping.
Class A
Class B
Class C
Types of Towable RV Units
Towable units include conventional travel trailers, fifth-wheel trailers, pop-ups and sport utility haulers. Conventional travel trailers vary from one-person teardrop trailers that can be towed behind a car or small sport utility vehicle to complex multi-bedroom layouts that require a dually pickup truck built for heavy hauling. Fifth-wheels are like conventional travel trailers, but instead of connecting to a rear ball hitch, they link to a robust fifth-wheel hitch installed in the bed of a pickup truck. Lightweight pop-ups have canvas sides and slide-out beds as well as basic amenities like kitchen tables, sinks and propane stoves. Finally, sport utility haulers offer all the features of a full-size camper as well as enclosed space to bring along equipment like motorcycles, ATVs, kayaks, paddleboards and more.

There’s nothing like traveling by recreational vehicle (RV). With the open road and endless opportunity for adventure ahead, you and your loved ones can create lasting memories with every mile while keeping all the comforts of home close at hand. However, RV ownership can be costly as well as time-consuming, leading many people to believe this kind of travel is out of their reach. Fortunately, RV rental creates an affordable way to vacation by RV without any of the costs or hassles of ownership.
Who is Williamson RV Rental LLC?
Here in southern Indiana, Williamson RV Rental LLC, offers a wide range of RVs, campers and travel trailers for you to choose from for your next getaway. We own a few of these units ourselves and also serve as property managers for independent RV owners looking to generate some return on their investment, and together, we have a varied fleet of Class A, Class C, fifth wheel and travel trailers ready for you to take on your next vacation. Think of us like Airbnb for RVs!
What Are the Benefits?
If you’re planning on a long road trip, a drivable Class A or Class C offers all-in-one convenience. Folks looking to set up shop at a campground might prefer a travel trailer so they can detach the towing vehicle for day trips and leave the camper behind. Both options provide the benefits of a hotel on wheels that you can take wherever you go. Alternately, they can also create extra bedrooms for houseguests, so an RV can come in handy for family get-togethers even if you’re staying at home.
Whether you’re looking to enjoy a long weekend with a group of friends, bring the kids to a family-friendly campground, head out with your significant other on an extended summer trip to tour the country, or just keep some space between you and your in-laws on their annual visit, we have an RV that’s right for your needs.
We’re centrally located between Indianapolis and Louisville in Scipio, Indiana, just an hour from these two major cities and an hour and a half from Cincinnati. Keep Williamson RV Rental LLC in mind for your next adventure!
