Plumbing Systems
The bathing facilities in your RV function similar to those in
your home. Keep the water heater and holding tank capacities
in mind when using the fresh water system. The used water
will drain through the plumbing pipes into the grey water hold-
ing tank.
1. Be sure the water heater is ON and had sufficient time
to heat the water.
2. If dry camping, be sure your 12-volt water pump is ON.
3. Adjust the hot and cold faucets to the desired tempera-
ture before bathing.
4. To conserve water while showering, wet down and turn
the water OFF while you use soap, then rinse.
5. When you are finished, shut the water faucets OFF.
Unlike your home, the RV does not contain a water pressure
balance valve. If someone is using the shower, it is recom-
mended that the fresh water system NOT BE USED until they
are finished.
Maintenance
Refer to the manufacturer’s operator manual.

tank and supply lines:

3. Remove the caps from the “low point drains.”
4. Drain the sink by removing the drain cap.
