Bath and Shower
Your bathtub and shower are built with ABS, vinyl, or fiberglass material,
similar to those in your home. Shower curtains are provided with the
coach and must be used to prevent water from spilling onto the floor,
possibly causing damage.
The shower head used in the bathroom has a non-positive shutoff valve
and will drip slightly in shut-off position. A vacuum breaker is also built
into the faucet to permit water in hose to drain out as a code requirement.
Before beginning your shower, be sure the water heater is lit. Adjust the
faucet for temperature before entering the tub or shower. When shower
is completed be sure to turn water off at the faucet.
Used water will drain through the plumbing pipes into the gray water
holding tank. Remember capacities of your water heater and gray water
holding tank. Long showers in a recreational vehicle are NOT suggested
due to the amount of water that is available. To conserve water, wet
down, and turn water off while you soap up, then rinse.
Outside Spray Port or Outside Shower
A convenient Hot & Cold faucet, with a 15’
coil hose, and spray nozzle is located on the
exterior of the unit. This faucet, hose, and
nozzle can be used for exterior washing, and
rinsing of hands, utensils or other needs.
This faucet contains mandated backflow
prevention. Faucet must be drained for
storage or if freezing weather is expected.
To Operate Outside Spray Port
1. Open door.
2. Attach coil hose to faucet quick connect.
3. Open faucet valves, and adjust to desired temperature.
4. To end water usage, close faucet valves and disconnect coil
hose.
Excessive pressure from water supply systems may be
encountered in some parks, especially mountain regions.
Water pressure regulators are available to protect your
system against such high pressure. A regulator at 45 pounds
rating is recommended to prevent damage to the plumbing
systems or components.
