PLUMBING
Waste Water Drain Lines
The drain lines are plumbed from the
sinks, showers, and toilets are sloped
to drain waste water to the grey or
black tank. However, if the coach is
equipped with a lift pump, refer to
the “Lift Pump” article. If the coach
is equipped with macerator toilet(s),
refer to the toilet article(s).
The drain lines connecting slideout-
installed components, such as the
kitchen sink and other optional equipment utilizing the
coach water supply, are typically hard-plumbed within
the slideout. The hard plumbing from the kitchen slideout
connects to the hard plumbing from the tank using a
braided drain line to ensure flexibility as the slideout
extends and retracts. The fresh water plumbing lines are
normally tied to the flexible drain pipe and extend and
retract smoothly as the slideout travels.
Care and Maintenance
The maintenance requirements for sinks and the shower
are on an as-needed basis. Occasionally, the attached
drain and trap may need to be cleaned of soap scum and
hair to maintain e ffi cient drainage. The basins and shower
walls can be cleaned to maintain the original luster. Clean
the entire surface, including the exterior, of the lavatory
and kitchen sinks and shower with mild soap and warm
water. Wipe the entire surface completely dry with a
clean, soft cloth.
This article provides an overview and care and maintenance recommendations for sinks, tubs, and showers.
The sink and shower are the beginning of the waste water system. The basic purpose is to contain the used
water so it can be drained via the attached waste water drain line to the holding tank.
Sinks, Tubs, and Showers
Follow these tips to maintain the shower(s) in the coach:
1. Make sure the shower doors are closed and latched
or locked prior to travel.
2. Check for leaks in the shower seals. Reseal them as
needed.
3. Using a mild detergent and a soft cloth, wipe down
the shower walls and glass enclosures after each use
to avoid soap scum and hard water deposits.
4. When winterizing the coach, clean up any remaining
antifreeze in the shower, as it may cause staining.
Avoid using “S.O.S.” type cleaning pads or other
abrasive cleaners because they may scratch the
surface. Do not use cleaners that contain harsh or
abrasive chemicals. Alcohol or similar solvents should
never be used.

P-Traps and Waterless Traps
This article provides an overview and care and maintenance recommendations for traditional and waterless p-traps.
P-Traps
The sinks and shower drain have a water trap to prevent
holding tank odors from entering the coach. These traps
must have water in them in order to trap the odors. While
traveling, the water may leave the P-Trap. While stored,
the water may evaporate, allowing an odor to enter the
coach. If this occurs, run water from the faucet into the
drain, allowing water to fill the trap.
Waterless Traps
Some coach models with a rear shower may have
waterless traps in lieu of conventional P-traps. Waterless
traps are designed to allow water to drain and to
prevent odor from entering the coach without the height
requirements of the conventional p-trap. Pressure builds
and the self-sealing valve opens as water drains from
a fixture. The valve closes to form a tight seal after the
water has completely drained from the sink or shower.
No routine or seasonal maintenance is required for the
waterless trap.
