Black Tank Flush Connection
The black tank flush inlet is used to aid in cleaning out the black water (sewer) tank. One
end of a hose (do not use your fresh water hose) is connected to the inlet, the other end to a
pressurized water source.
To use; turn on the water source which sprays water inside the black water tank. This helps
move waste out of the tank. When finished, turn off the water source and disconnect the
hose from the inlet and at the water source.
Outside Shower
An outside shower connection is also included. It has a detachable hose, and includes both
hot and cold water faucets for rinsing outside the RV.
1. Be sure the water heater is ON and has had sufficient time to heat the water (storage
water heater).
2. Open the outside utility center compartment.
3. If dry camping, be sure the 12-volt water pump is ON. If using the city water connection
inlet, the pump is not required.
4. Water heater bypass valves should be set to Normal. ( Refer to Water Heater Bypass
section )
5. Attach the shower hose to the quick disconnect fitting. Take the shower head out of the
utility center.
6. Turn ON the hot and cold faucet knobs, and adjust the water temperature as desired.
7. To activate the handheld shower turn ON the sprayer head attachment (if equipped)
(some models).
IMPORTANT: To turn off the flow of water,
always
close the faucet knobs.
The lever on the shower head will not completely stop the flow of water; this is intentional to
allow for draining. After the water has been allowed to drain from the shower head, replace it
in the utility center. Any remaining water in the shower hose will drip or run out; this is not
a leak but performs as intended. If dry camping: turn the pump switch OFF. Water should
always be turned off using the hot / cold control knobs rather than turning off the water with
the lever on the shower head. Turning off the water with the shower head lever can create a
condition where the hot and cold water will mix through the outside shower faucet, thereby
reducing the temperature of the hot water. It can appear as though the hot water heater is
not working properly.
Disconnect the shower hose from the utility center after use. Store it in one of the storage
compartments where it won’t become damaged.

The water heater is designed to heat water quickly and efficiently. The water heater
manufacturer has preset the sensing limit to maintain the water temperature when the water
heater is activated.
