HOWER
A handheld shower assembly with both hot
and cold water is available for washing or
rinsing with the outside shower.
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 cease operation, close the faucet knobs.
After the water has been allowed to drain from
the shower head, replace it in 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.
F
AUCETS
The faucets operate much the same way as
the faucets in your home. Make sure there is
sufficient water available and, if dry camping,
the 12-volt water pump is turned ON before
operating.
To open the faucets, turn the hot and cold
knobs ON and adjust the temperature to your
comfort level. Close the faucets when a
sufficient amount of water is released.
The tub/shower faucet requires a vacuum
breaker when the shower hose and head are
used. There are two purposes for this
breaker:
□ To prevent siphoning water through the
hose from another fixture.
□ To prevent water from being contained in
the hose.
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.

HOWER
The bathing facilities in your motor home
function similar to those in your home. Keep
the water heater and holding tank capacities
in mind when using the fresh water system.
Long showers are not suggested due to the
limited amount of water available. The used
water will drain through the plumbing pipes
into the grey water holding tank.
1. Be sure the water heater is ON and had
sufficient time to heat the water.
2. If dry camping, be sure your 12-volt water
pump is ON.
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.
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 motor home does not
contain a water pressure balance valve.
