SHOWER VALVE PRESSURE BLEED-OFF
After using the shower, you may notice water dripping from the shower faucet assembly. The dripping
results when vacuum in the shower hose (after closing the shower faucet) slowly releases and allows water
remaining in the hose to drain down. This is a normal function of the shower valve assembly and is not a
leak or defect.
CAUTION
If items are placed into the shower tub before shower valve vacuum release is complete, they may
become wet.
WASTE WATER SYSTEM (HOLDING TANKS)
The drainage system is self-contained and uses two separate holding tanks to contain the waste water until it
can be dumped t an appropriate waste water disposal site. This means you can use the toilet, sinks and
shower even in areas where utility hookups are not available.
The main holding tank contains the sewage from the toilet, and is commonly called the black water tank.
The second holding tank contains the waste water from the galley sink, bathroom lavatory and shower, and
is commonly called the gray water tank.
The two holding tanks are both dumped through a common outlet located on the left side of the vehicle, near
the rear wheels.
Dumping Holding Tanks
1.
Remove drain hose from rear bumper or exterior storage compartment.
2.
Remove dust cap from drain and connect drain hose. Be sure it is firmly attached.
3.
Place the other end of sewer hose into disposal opening.
4.
Open the (large) black water tank valve with a quick pull. OPEN ONE VALVE AT A TIME.
Move hose gently about to dislodge any waste and to ensure complete drainage.
5.
Close sewage valve and open (small) grey water valve with a quick pull. Make sure
there are no sags in the hose during drainage. Close valve handle as soon as tank is
empty.
6.
After both tanks have been drained, run several gallons of water into the sewage tank
through the toilet. Then open sewage dump valve and drain the black tank again. Close valve
and replace dust cap securely.
Note: If equipped with black tank flush, connect fresh water hose to black tank
flush connection open black tank valve, turn on water to black tank flush and this will automatically flush out your
black tank. Shut off water, close black tank valve and disconnect fresh water hose and sewer hose and store be sure
to replace dust cap.
