Water System
12-Volt Demand Pump
When water is desired and you are not hooked up to city water, your tank
will be your supply. On your monitor panel is a switch to turn on the 12-
Volt demand pump. Energy for the pump is supplied by the auxiliary
battery or converter. The pump will self-prime when started, supply
water, and continue to run until approximately 40 pounds of pressure is
achieved. When pressure drops to 20 pounds, pump will restart. Some
cycling in pump may occur. A check valve is built within the pump to
prevent water from flowing into the supply tank.
When pump is not in use, turn 12-Volt power off at the switch, located on
wall or on monitor panel if so equipped.
The pump has a small filter attached on the “in port” side to prevent any
foreign material from entering into pump. You need to annually or more
often unscrew cap and clean out screen or replace it.
Faucets
The basic operation of a faucet is the same as in your home. Open the
knobs or raise the single lever. Close faucets when sufficient water
volume is achieved. It is normal to experience occasional air pockets in
the system.
Bath and Shower
Your bathtub and shower are built with ABS, Fiberglass & Waterproof
Vinyl material, similar to those in your home. Shower curtains are
provided with the coach and must be used to prevent water from spilling
onto the floor, causing potential damage.
The shower head used in the bathroom has a non-positive shutoff valve
and will drip slightly in shut-off position. A vacuum breaker is also built
into the faucet to permit water in hose to drain out as a code requirement.
Before beginning your shower, be sure the water heater is lit. Adjust the
faucet for temperature before entering the tub or shower. When shower
DO NOT leave tank unattended while filling.
Excessive pressure from water supply systems may be
encountered in some parks, especially in mountain regions.
Water pressure regulators are available to protect your
system against such high pressure. A regulator at 45 pound
rating is recommended to prevent damage to the plumbing
system or components.
