PLUMBING
⚠ CAUTION BE SURE TO CLOSE HOT AND COLD KNOBS ON THE
OUTSIDE WASH STATION AFTER USE. FAILURE TO DO SO
CAN CAUSE BACK FEEDING OF WATER INTO PLUMBING
LINES.
CARE OF SHOWER
From time to time you will want to remove soap film from the shower wall. Use any mild
household foam cleaner. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasives on the shower walls or
shower base. After taking your shower, leave the bath door open to allow the humidity
and moist air to escape. Also, leave the bath door open when the unit is not in use. This
allows circulation of air and prevents mildew.
TOILET
Your Oliver Travel Trailer is equipped with either a standard porcelain toilet or an optional
composting toilet.
For operating instructions and troubleshooting, view the manufacturer’s manual.
BACK-FLOW PREVENTER
One of the most important things in the bathroom is the back-flow preventer. The black
T-handle near the bottom of the wall is connected to a blade valve that controls the flow
of used water from your shower pan and sink to the grey tank. If you ordered the optional
electric blade valve on the Legacy Elite II, you will find the switch in the main closet of
your Ollie. The black T-handle will not be present if you selected the optional electric Auto
Drain option.
NOTICE IT IS IMPORTANT TO OPEN THIS VALVE DURING CAMPING
AND CLOSE THE VALVE BEFORE TRAVELING. THIS WILL
PREVENT ANY WATER LEFT IN THE GREY TANK FROM
BACK-FLOWING INTO THE SHOWER PAN WHILE DRIVING.
DUMPING WASTE
WASTEWATER SYSTEM
The wastewater system in your Oliver can be described as two separate systems; a gray
water system that consists of the drain lines and a holding tank for wastewater from the
sinks and shower and a black water system, which includes the holding tank and drain
for toilet wastes. Each system is self-contained and allows disposal of the wastewater at
designated dump stations.
The gray water system has drain traps. Both tanks are vented to equalize air pressure and
disperse odors caused by drain water and waste. Sometimes stop and go while driving
may empty the drain traps of water and allow the odors of the gray water tank to come
into the coach. Residue in the drain water lines also can produce odors. To combat gray
water holding tank odor, an approved deodorizing agent should be used. An agent that
dissolves grease and fats and contains a detergent will help keep tank and drain lines
clean and free-flowing.
