The showerhead DOES NOT have a complete shut-off valve (the complete shut-off is at
the faucet). The showerhead may drip slightly in the OFF position after use; this is normal
and does not indicate a leak or defect.
There may be air in the plumbing lines that will need to be bled out before a steady stream
of water comes from the faucet.
The bathing facilities in your recreation vehicle function similar to those in your home.
Keep the water heater and holding tank capacities in mind when using the fresh water
system. The used water will drain through the plumbing pipes into the grey water holding
tank.
Be sure the water heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the water.
If dry camping, be sure your 12-volt water pump is ON.
Unlike your home, the recreation vehicle 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 they are finished.
Maintenance
Refer the manufacturer’s user guide or label instructions for detailed cleaning information.
The tub/shower walls in your recreation vehicle are made of ABS plastic material. Use a
mild detergent soap and warm water to clean. 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. Contact
your dealer for repair or replacement.

Permanent water tanks may be drained through a valve located near the tank. A recreation
vehicle with a demand pressure pump system will have low-point drains attached to the
water lines (normally located near the water tank).
These low-point drains will release water in the supply lines by opening the valves and all
faucets. The water heater has its own drain plug. To drain the permanent fresh water
holding tank and supply lines:
1.
Turn the water heater power OFF (Turn off the electric & LP
gas
switches).
2.
Open all faucets, including the outside shower faucet.
3.
Open the “fresh tank drain” valve. All permanent fresh water tanks can be drained by
one of two types of drain valves. 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).
4.
Open the “low point drains” by turning, then pulling the handles up. As their name
indicates, they will be at the lowest point of water lines. A label is placed on the
outside of the RV to indicate where the drains are located. The drains will typically
