NOTE: In the Water Heater Bypass Diagram, valve D is the fresh water tank shutoff.
Valve E is used to introduce RV antifreeze into the lines when winterizing the system and
has a clear hose attached to it. See
Winterizing the Plumbing System in this manual.
Valves D & E are typically located in the vicinity of the water pump which can be under a
dinette bench, kitchen island, or bed.

A handheld shower assembly with both hot and cold water may be included for use outside
of your recreation 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
draining. 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.

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 reassemble 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.

AUCETS
The bathroom, kitchen and outside shower faucets operate much the same way as the
faucets in your home. Make sure there is sufficient water available and the 12-volt water
pump is turned ON before operating.

NOTE: There may be air in the water plumbing lines which needs to be bled out
before a steady stream of water comes from the faucet.

HOWER
The shower faucet includes a vacuum breaker for the shower. There are two purposes for
this breaker:

To prevent siphoning water through the hose from another fixture.

To prevent water from being retained in the hose.
WARNING
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can cause severe burns instantly or death from
scalds; therefore, be careful when using hot water. Always test the water temperature
before showering or washing.
