JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 8-PLUMBING SYSTEMS
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 recreation vehicle does not contain a water pressure balance valve.
If someone is using the shower, it is recommended that the fresh water system NOT BE
USED until they are finished.
Maintenance
Read the manufacturer’s operator manual or label instructions. The tub/shower walls (if
applicable) in your recreation vehicle are made of ABS plastic material. Use a mild
detergent soap and warm water to clean. Contact your RV dealer for repair or replacement.
Do not use gritty or abrasive particle soaps or scouring compound to clean ABS plastic.
Avoid using “Citrus” or biodegradable cleaners which contain “D-Limonene.” They will
damage plastic materials.

Permanent water tanks may be drained through a valve located near the tank. A recreation
vehicle with a demand pressure pump system will have low-point drains attached to the
water lines (normally located near the water tank).
These low-point drains will release water in the supply lines by opening the valves and all
faucets. The water heater has its own drain plug. To drain the permanent fresh water
holding tank and supply lines:
1. Turn the water heater power OFF (Turn off the Electric & LP
GAS switches).
2. Open all faucets, including the outside shower faucet.
3. Open the “fresh tank drain” valve. All permanent fresh water
tanks can be drained by one of two types of drain valves. A
white plastic drain is attached to the exterior wall (open valve to
drain) or a valve located inside the motor home adjacent to the
water tank (this knob turns 45° to open or close).
4. Open the “low point drains” by turning, then pulling the
handles up. As their name indicates, they will be at the lowest
point of water lines. A label is placed on the outside of the RV
to indicate where the drains are located. The drains will
typically need to be opened from inside the motor home. Once
the label is found on the exterior sidewall, go inside the motor
home to find the corresponding location of the drains.
