Section 8: Plumbing System

Outside Shower (if so equipped)
A handheld shower assembly with both hot and cold water may be included for use outside
of your recreational vehicle.
1.
Be sure the water heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the water.
2.
Open the outside shower compartment door.
3.
If dry camping, be sure the 12-volt water pump is ON.
4.
Remove the handheld shower from its holder.
5.
Turn ON the hot and cold faucet knobs, and adjust the water temperature as desired.
6.
To activate the handheld shower turn ON the sprayer head attachment (some models).
To turn off the water,
always
close the hot/cold control (faucet) knobs. The lever on the
shower head will not completely stop the flow of water; this is intentional to allow for drain
-
ing. After the water has been allowed to drain from the shower head, return it to the outside
shower compartment. Any remaining water in the shower hose will drip or run out; this is
not a leak but performs as intended. If you are dry camping, turn the water pump OFF.
Turning off the water with the shower head lever can also 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.
Draining and Winterization:
If the recreation vehicle is to be stored over the winter months, the water heater must be
drained to prevent damage from freezing. Damage to the water heater caused by freezing
is not warrantable. It is recommended the water heater be drained and bypassed during the
winterization process,
particularly if introducing RV antifreeze into the plumbing sys-
tem
.
Never drain the water heater when it is HOT or UNDER PRESSURE.
To drain the water heater:
1.
Turn off electrical power to the water heater either at the switch from the electrical ele
-
ment of at the breaker.
2.
Shut off the propane supply to the water heater.
3.
Turn off the pressure pump on the water system.
4.
Open both hot and cold water faucets.
5.
Remove the anode rod from the tank.

sections of this manual.
NOTE:
The shower head may be removed from the hose so that
it will drain faster. If you remove the shower head, be sure to reas
-
semble it prior to storage.
NOTE:
When putting the shower assembly back into the storage
compartment, make sure the hose is not pinched or the shower head
is positioned in a way it can be damaged.
