PLUMBING
The fresh water system in the coach is designed to
operate at a maximum of 60 PSI. Water pressure levels
above this level can damage the fresh water plumbing
in the coach. If the water pressure ever surpasses 60
PSI, a pressure regulator must be installed to reduce the
incoming pressure, or fill the fresh water tank and use the
internal water pump to supply water to the coach.
Before connecting to the coach, use a potable water
source to purge any remaining air and stale water in the
hose.
Then, connect the hose from the potable water source
to the coach or the hose from the coach to the city water
supply (if equipped with a hose reel). Turn on the supply
valve at the water source, and open each of the faucets to
remove any air pockets in the coach plumbing lines. Once
the water flows freely, close the faucet(s).
To disconnect from the city water supply, close the valve
from the water supply. Release the pressure by rotating
the fresh water valve to the tank fill position. Remove the
hose from the city water supply, and store it in the water
compartment. Once the pressure is relieved, rotate the
fresh water valve to the appropriate operating position.
CAUTION
!
For non-powered, spring-retracting hose reels, do
not release the fresh water hose during the retraction
process. Spring tension on the hose reel can cause
the hose to retract very quickly, and can cause
physical harm to you and/or damage to your coach.
There are two separate waste systems: the gray tank system and the black tank system. Each tank has its
own control valve, and both tanks drain through the sewer drain hose.
Waste Water System
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
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.
IMPORTANT
!
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.
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.
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.
