Awning
Complete operating instructions have been provided
with your awning. Make sure your traveling companion
is familiar with the operation of the awning.
The awning’s primary function is sun protection.
Therefore, roll up your awning in case of heavy rain,
wind or snow. To prevent water buildup on the awning
during a light rain, position one upper arm lower than
the other to create enough of a slope for adequate
water runoff.
NOTE
If wind or extended periods of rain are expected,
roll up the awning and secure in traveling position.
CAUTION
The effects of wind and rain on any awning are
unpredictable. Severe damage to the trailer and/or
the awning may result and cannot be covered by
warranty.
Exterior Shower
Nest is equipped with an exterior shower. This shower
consists of a shower hose, shower head, and water
valve inside of a lockable exterior door. Water is
supplied by the pump or city water hookup. Be sure to
shut and lock the door when not in use.
City Water Hookup
The city water hook-up is located on the side of the
trailer. For consistent water flow and plumbing line
safety, an in-line regulator limits pressure to 50 PSI.
Use a tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic high-pressure
hose of at least 1/2 in. diameter designed for RV use.
The city water inlet is a standard garden hose thread.
We suggest you carry two lengths of hose in order to
reach hookups farther away than normal, plus, to have
a spare.
After hooking up the hose and turning on the city
water valve provided in the park, slowly open a faucet.
There will be a lot of spurts and sputtering until all
the air is expelled from the trailer system. If the water
heater is empty, it will take some time before all the air
is expelled and a steady flow of water occurs at the
faucet. Once a steady flow is achieved at one faucet
the others should be opened long enough to expel the
air in the lines going to them.
Your plumbing system has a built-in pressure regulator
to protect your lines and faucets from extremely high
pressures on some city water systems.
Coax Cable/Satellite/Internet Inlet
Ports for cable TV, satellite and/or Internet hook-up are
located on the road-side of your Nest.
