12-Volt Demand Pump
When water is desired and you are not hooked up to city water, your
tank will be your supply. On your monitor panel is a switch to turn
on the 12-volt demand pump. Energy for the pump is supplied by
the auxiliary battery or converter. The pump will self-prime when
started, supply water, and continue to run until approximately 40
pounds of pressure is achieved. When pressure drops to 20
pounds, pump will restart. Some cycling in pump may occur. A
check valve is built within the pump to prevent water from flowing
into the supply tank.
When pump is not in use, turn 12-volt power off at the switch.
Faucets
The basic operation of a faucet is the same as in your home. Open
the knobs or raise the single lever. Close faucets when sufficient
water volume is achieved. It is normal to experience occasional air
pockets in the system.
Bath and Shower
Your bathtub and shower are built with ABS 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.
Excessive pressure from water supply systems may be encountered in
some parks, especially in mountain regions. Water pressure regulators are
available to protect your system against such high pressure. A regulator at
45 pound rating is recommended to prevent damage to the plumbing sys-
