If you are at a site where the unit is hooked up to city water, you will not be able to chlorinate the system because
the water flows straight to your faucets and not through the fresh water tank. Filters should be changed every 6 -
12 months depending on the quality and quantity of water that is used in your unit.
Water Heater By-Pass System
The water heater by-pass valve is located in an outside compartment near the water heater. By closing the water
heater supply valve and opening the by-pass valve you can divert water away from the water heater. This is done
when winterizing your unit. Using the by-pass will keep antifreeze out of the water heater when winterizing the
system. Draining the water heater during winterizing is
REQUIRED
.
Fresh Water Lines
Vibration and flexing during traveling can cause pipes and fittings to work loose. Check all of the plumbing
connections for leaks on a yearly basis. If the water pump runs when all faucets are turned off, check for a leak.
Be sure the drain valves are closed. Connections at the kitchen and bathroom faucets normally seal with hand
tightening and a half turn with a wrench. If a fitting leak persists, disconnect it completely and check for mineral
deposits or foreign material on the sealing surfaces. Clean the surfaces thoroughly and reinstall the fitting. Take
the coach to an authorized service center for repairs if the system continues to leak. Follow the winterizing
instructions given in Chapter 9 to reduce the risk of leaks caused by cracks from freezing pipes. Freezing damage
can be extensive and expensive.
Exterior Shower
A feature on your coach may be the exterior shower. If installed, the exterior shower would be located on the off
door-side of the coach. The exterior shower feature allows you to do such things as rinse off sand or grass, muddy
shoes, or bathe your pet outside of your unit. The faucet operates just as it would in your kitchen or bathroom.
WASTE WATER SYSTEM
General Information
The waste drainage system was designed to provide adequate and safe storage and/or disposal of waste materials.
All of the materials used in the making of this system are tested by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. The
drainage system uses plastic piping and fittings connected to the sinks, toilet, and holding tanks. This provides for
their drainage to an outside termination. The unit should be reasonably level for best operation of the system.
There are two separate waste systems. The gray water system is for waste water from the sinks and shower. The
black water system is generally for sewage waste from the stool. Each tank has its own control valve, and both
tanks drain through the sewer drain hose.
Toilet
The standard toilet in your unit is a china stool. The toilet operates with water from either the fresh water tank
with the water pump on or the city water supply. Before using the stool, add water to the bottom of the tank. Refer
to the “BLACK WATER TANK” instructions in this chapter. The stool flushes waste directly into the black water
holding tank. The stool uses high velocity water injection to produce a swirl effect in the bowl. The greatest
problem that causes stool solids to build up in the holding tank is lack of liquids. When using your stool, it is wise
to fill the stool 3/4 full of water. This will help to wash the solids away from directly below the stool and to
ensure complete dumping of the holding tank. To add water to the stool bowl, lift or raise the flush lever until the
desired water level is reached. To flush the stool, push down on the lever until the water swirls. A small amount
of water should remain in the bowl.
