# What changes with the RoamRig plumbing upgrade?

## This is a total tear-out and overhaul! RoamRig plumbing completely replaces all freshwater components in the stock plumbing system.

Our upgrade features a custom valve that allows *one* simple port to control all plumbing functions. We also use brass fittings braided stainless steel hoses wherever possible, minimizing connections to simplify the system.

#### Control Panel – 2nd & 3rd Generation Revels![2-3g panels](https://customers.roamrig.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2-3g%20panels.webp?width=600&height=305&name=2-3g%20panels.webp)

#### Control Panel – 1st Generation Revels

Curious to see more? We took this video while installing the 2nd/3rd generation plumbing upgrade!

### Optional: Water Tank Upgrade

During the plumbing upgrade, at RoamRig HQ we can also upgrade the fresh water tank to the S&B 35 gallon tank to increase your water storage capacity (only available for 2nd and 3rd Generation Revels).

![2ndGen-TankUpgrade\_480x480](https://customers.roamrig.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2ndGen-TankUpgrade_480x480.webp?width=480&height=349&name=2ndGen-TankUpgrade_480x480.webp)

### Optional: Exterior Fill Port

Some people prefer to have an exterior fill port so they do not need to open their back doors to fill the tank. It is not standard practice for us to do this since we don’t like to cut holes in bodywork (it’s a corrosion risk). However, if it is something you want, it is possible to add on 2nd and 3rd generation Revels. Talk to your installer for details.
