The RV toilet in your Airstream is a design that has been used for many years. There are two pedals. The
large pedal opens and closes the slide mechanism, and the smaller pedal opens and closes a water valve.
In normal use, when you are hooked up to city water, both pedals are depressed together. This dumps the
sewage and fresh water and flushes down the side of the bowl. Water will continue to run into the bowl for
a short time after the pedals are released.
When you wish to conserve water hold the hand-spray head over the bowl and hold down the thumb-
operated lever. Now when you depress the pedal all the water is routed through the hand-spray.
CAUTION: When you dump the bowl of the toilet make sure all paper and solids have cleared the
slide mechanism before you allow it to close. Failure to do so can cause the groove for the slide to
become jammed and the slide will no longer close completely.
If the problem should occur a small nail or bent clothes hanger can be used to "pick" the material out of the
groove.
