EXTERIOR WATER HOSE
Your trailer is equipped with an exterior water hose
(Fig. 46) to spray off equipment before loading it into
the trailer. Make sure you read, understand and follow
all information supplied with your trailer on the
function of this water hose. Also, be sure to follow
instructions as indicated on the hose compartment
door’s label when winterizing your trailer’s plumbing
system.
OUTSIDE SHOWER (OPTION)
A convenient exterior faucet assembly (Fig. 47) with hot and
cold water may be installed on your trailer. This will allow for
washing and rinsing on the outside of the trailer.
OPERATION
1. Activate the pump.
2. Open the door with the key and allow it to hinge down.
3. Remove the shower head and open the valve.
4. Open the faucet valves and adjust the water temperature
as desired.
5. To turn off, close the faucet valve(s) and allow the water
to drain from the shower head.
6. Close the shower head valve.
Water remaining in the hose will drip or run out of vacuum breaker. This is NOT a leak, but
performs as intended. Water in the A.B.S. plastic box will drain out along the outer edge.
The shower head can be removed to drain the hose faster. If you choose to remove the
shower head to drain the hose, reassemble it for storage. Coil the hose and arrange it with
the shower head inside the faucet assembly. Make sure that the hose is not being pinched
and the shower head is not being damaged when the door is closed. Keep the door closed
when not in use for sanitary reasons.
WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM
A water purification system may be installed on your trailer. This system is equipped with a
long-life cartridge to effectively reduce chlorine, taste, odor, sediment, organic chemicals
and inhibit bacteria growth. Whenever the water system has not been used for some time,
allow water to flow for several minutes to flush the system. When the system is not in use,
store the water filter cartridge in the mounting bracket located near the water system, and
when necessary, out of freezing temperatures.
RV antifreeze will damage the water filter cartridge. The water purification system
manufacturer has supplied a clear plastic bypass hose with fittings on either end which is
designed to replace the water filter when the trailer is winterized. The hose should be stored
when the filter is in use and kept available to reuse.
