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 recommended that the
fresh water system NOT BE USED until he or
she is finished.
Maintenance
Read the OEM operator’s manual. The tub
and shower walls (if applicable) in your RV
are made of ABS plastic material. Use a mild
detergent soap and warm water to clean
(these cleaning instructions are similar to
those recommended for fiberglass tubs and
shower walls). Contact your RV dealer for
repair or replacement.
Do not use gritty or abrasive particle soaps or
scouring compound to clean ABS plastic.
Avoid using “Citrus” or biodegradable
cleaners which contain “D-Limonene.” They
will damage plastic materials.

The water purification system is located under
the kitchen sink. If the water supply has not
been used for some time, allow the water to
flow for several minutes to flush the system.
When not in use, the water filter cartridge
should be stored out of freezing temperatures.
RV antifreeze will damage the water filter
cartridge. The OEM has supplied a clear
plastic bypass hose with fittings on either end
to replace the water filter cartridge when the
RV is being winterized. This clear plastic
bypass hose is re-usable; store it when it is
not in use.
Each new RV is winterized with RV antifreeze
before it leaves Jayco, Inc. To use the water
purification system the clear plastic bypass
hose must be removed and the water filter
cartridge installed.
Replacing the water filter cartridge
Replace the water filter cartridge when water
flow from the kitchen faucet is too slow for
convenience, or at least once a year.
1. Drain the fresh water system.
2. Place a container beneath the water
cartridge filter to catch any spillage.
3. Unscrew the fittings at the top and bottom
of the water filter cartridge. Pull the water
filter cartridge down and out of the fittings.
4. Insert the new water filter cartridge and
tighten the fittings securely by hand.
Dispose of the used water cartridge filter.

To drain the fresh water holding tank and
supply lines:
1. Open all faucets, including the outside
shower faucet.
2. Open the “fresh tank drain” valve.
All permanent fresh water
tanks can be drained by
one of two types of drain
valve: a white plastic drain
is attached to the exterior
wall (open valve to drain)
or a valve located inside
the RV adjacent to the
water tank (this knob turns
45° to open or close).
3. Open the “low point drains” by turning,
then pulling the handles up.
These valves are placed near the floor
and may be located under cabinets,
dinettes, sofas, beds, or in storage areas.
As their name indicates, they will be at the
lowest point of water lines. A label is
placed on the outside of the travel trailer
to indicate where the drains are located.
The drains will
typically need to be
opened from inside
the trailer. Once the
label is found on the
outside of the trailer,
go inside to find the
corresponding
location of the
drains.
4. Turn ON the water pump and allow it to
run as needed.
