P-Traps and Waterless Traps
This article provides an overview and care and maintenance recommendations for traditional and waterless p-traps.
P-Traps
The sinks and shower drain have a water trap to prevent
holding tank odors from entering the coach. These traps
must have water in them in order to trap the odors. While
traveling, the water may leave the P-Trap. While stored,
the water may evaporate, allowing an odor to enter the
coach. If this occurs, run water from the faucet into the
drain, allowing water to fill the trap.
Waterless Traps
Some coach models with a rear shower may have
waterless traps in lieu of conventional P-traps. Waterless
traps are designed to allow water to drain and to
prevent odor from entering the coach without the height
requirements of the conventional p-trap. Pressure builds
and the self-sealing valve opens as water drains from
a fixture. The valve closes to form a tight seal after the
water has completely drained from the sink or shower.
No routine or seasonal maintenance is required for the
waterless trap.

Aqua View Fresh Water Reclamation System Overview
for 2022 Super Star Super C Coaches
This article provides basic operation instructions for a Aqua View (SinkMi$er, ShowerMi$er) Fresh Water Reclamation
System as it is installed in 2022 Super Star Super C coaches.
If standing water occurs in your shower, do not
attempt to unplug or open the drain with a coat
hanger or a sewer snake. Before taking your coach
to a service center, try leveling your coach so that
the rear is raised slightly higher than the front. This
may correct the condition and prevent drain-cleaning
or a service repair. If this does not correct the issue,
Newmar recommends taking your coach to a service
center for drain-cleaning or repair.
IMPORTANT
!
Foreign objects, such as hair, in the trap may allow odor
to enter the coach and impede or slow water drainage
and require occasional cleaning. When removing the
waterless trap for cleaning, the ridges must be down and
the direction of water flow must be correct when re-
installed.
Coaches equipped with an Aqua Miser Fresh Water
Reclamation System have the ability to conserve water
and grey tank capacity. This system is especially useful
when dry camping.
Over the past several years, Newmar has used several
different types and styles of Aqua View systems. The exact
system setup will vary by year, model, floorplan, and faucet
style. The following information is based on 2022 Super
Star Super C coaches.
NOTE FROM NEWMAR
By using water in the system supplied by the pump or
pressurized water from a city water connection, this
system allows you to redirect or recycle the cold water
back into the fresh water tank before it comes out of the
shower head. This water would normally go down the
drain, filling up the gray water tank and wasting the fresh
water supply. Once the water is warm, the blue “magic
mushroom” will let the user know when it is time to adjust
the diverter in order to allow water to freely flow from the
shower.
