2. If dry camping, be sure your 12-volt water
pump is ON.
3. Adjust the hot and cold faucets to the
desired temperature before bathing.
4. To conserve water while showering, wet
down and turn the water OFF while you
use soap, then rinse.
5. 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 or label
instructions. The tub/shower walls (if
applicable) in your RV are made of ABS
plastic material. Use a mild detergent soap
and warm water to clean. 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.
For more information
Refer to the OEM operator’s manual and the
label on the water filter cartridge.

If your RV came with the factory-installed
power package option you have the
convenience and added benefit of an air
compressor, water pressure washer and
battery jumper pack. Read the individual
component OEM operator’s manuals. If you
have further questions, consult with your RV
dealer, the OEM or Jayco Customer Service.
To utilize the exterior water connection
The RV is equipped with a quick coupler
water connection on the exterior sidewall.
Water can be used from this connection when
the RV is attached to a city water source (or
from the on-board fresh water tank with the
use of the 12-volt on-demand water pump).
Use this connection to access water through
the fresh water system to spray off
equipment, vehicles, etc.
