SECTION 8
PLUMBING SYSTEMS
Open the door with the key and allow it to
hinge down.
1. If dry camping, be sure the 12-volt water
pump is ON.
2. Remove the hand held showerhead and
hose from its holder and turn ON the
sprayer head valve.
3. Open the faucet knobs and adjust them to
the desired temperature.
To cease operation, close the faucet knobs
and the showerhead valve. After the water
has been allowed to
drain from the
showerhead, replace it
in the outside shower
compartment. Any
remaining water in the
shower hose will drip
or run out of the
vacuum breaker; this
is not a leak but
performs as intended.
Water will drain out
along outer edge of
the ABS plastic box.
The showerhead can be removed to drain the
hose faster. If you choose to remove the
showerhead to drain the hose, reassemble it
for storage. Coil the hose and arrange it with
the showerhead inside the faucet assembly.
Make sure that the hose is not being pinched
and the showerhead is not being damaged
when the door is closed. For sanitary reasons,
keep the exterior shower compartment door
closed when not in use.

AUCETS
The faucets operate much the same way as
the faucets in your home. Make sure there is
sufficient water available and, if dry camping,
the 12-volt water pump is turned ON before
operating. To open the faucets, turn the hot
and cold knobs ON and adjust the
temperature to your comfort level. Close the
faucets when a sufficient amount of water is
released.
The shower faucet (if so equipped) requires a
vacuum breaker when the shower hose and
head are used. There are two purposes for
this breaker:
□
To prevent siphoning water through the
hose from another fixture.
□
To prevent water from being contained in
the hose.
Vacuum Breaker
The showerhead DOES NOT have a
complete shut-off valve (the complete shut-off
is at the faucet). The showerhead may drip
slightly in the OFF position after use; this is
normal and does not indicate a leak or defect.
There may be air in the plumbing lines that
will need to be bled out before a steady
stream of water comes from the faucet.

Your bathing facilities in the RV function
similar to those in your home. Prepare the
bath or shower curtains to prevent water from
spilling onto the floor. Keep the water heater
and holding tank capacities in mind when
using the fresh water system. Long showers
are not suggested due to the limited amount
of water available. The used water will drain
through the plumbing pipes into the grey
water holding tank.
1. Be sure the water heater is ON and had
sufficient time to heat the water.
2. If dry camping, be sure your 12-volt water
pump is ON.
3. Adjust the hot and cold faucets to the
desired temperature before bathing.
4. To conserve water while showering, wet
down and turn the water OFF while you
use soap, then rinse.
5. When you are finished, shut the water
faucets OFF.
Unlike your home, the RV does not contain a
water pressure balance valve. If someone is
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can
cause severe burns instantly or death from
scalds; therefore, be careful when using
hot water. Always test the water
temperature before showering or washing.
