Section 8: Plumbing System
If dry camping, be sure your 12-volt water pump is ON.
Unlike your home, the recreational 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.
The shower faucet may include a vacuum breaker for the shower. There are two purposes
for this breaker:
To prevent siphoning water through the hose from another fixture.
To prevent water from being retained in the hose.
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.
Maintenance
Refer the manufacturer’s user guide or label instructions for detailed cleaning information.
The tub/shower walls are made of ABS plastic material. Use a mild detergent soap and warm
water to clean. 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.
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can cause severe burns instantly there-
fore, be careful when using hot water.
Always test the water temperature
before showering or washing.
Black/Grey Water System and Tanks
Water from the sinks and shower flows into the gray water (or wastewater) holding tank.
Water from the toilet will flow into the black water (or sewage) holding tank (see Black/Grey
Water Holding Tanks).
Drain Pipes with P-Trap (if so equipped)
The drain pipes may be equipped with a “P-trap”
installed to help prevent odors from escaping into
the RV. During travel, water from the P-traps may
spill and permit odors into the RV. By adding wa-
ter and using a RV approved deodorizing agent you
will dissolve the contents faster and will keep the
drain lines and tanks clean and free flowing. These
chemicals are available at an RV supply store or
your dealer.
Drain Pipes with Dry Sealing Valve (if so equipped)
Your RV may be equipped with a dry sealing valve that prevents the escape of odors from
your waste system and eliminates the need for P-traps. Should the RV drain piping system
become clogged, it is important that the dry valve be removed before passing a mechanical
cleanout tool through the piping to open the drain. Passing a cleanout tool through the wa-
terless valve may cause damage to the internal seal that may potentially allow sewer gases
to escape into the RV interior. The waterless trap can be unscrewed from the water lines. A
label has been placed near the location of the waste valve that reads as follows:
