of the water heater tank. This air pocket will form in the tank by design; however, it will be
reduced over time by the everyday use of your water heater. To replenish this air pocket:
1. Turn o the water heater.
2. Turn o the cold water supply line.
3. Open a faucet in the recreation vehicle.
4. Pull out the handle of the pressure relief (P&T) valve and allow water to ow from the
valve until it stops.
5. Release the handle on the P&T valve - it should snap closed.
Close the faucet and turn on the cold water supply. As the tank lls, the air pocket will
develop. Repeat this procedure as often as needed to reduce the frequency of the weeping
P&T valve.
If the recreation vehicle is to be stored over the winter months, the water heater must be
drained to prevent damage from freezing. Damage to the water heater caused by freezing
is not warrantable. It is recommended the water heater be drained and bypassed during the
winterization process,

Faucets
The bathroom, kitchen and outside shower faucets operate much the same way as the faucets
in your home. Make sure there is sucient water available and the 12-volt water pump is
turned ON before operating.
There may be air in the water plumbing lines which needs to
be bled out before a steady stream of water comes from the faucet.
Outside Shower and Courtesy Light
A handheld shower assembly with both hot and cold water is available in the utility center
for washing or rinsing. The coiled hose for the shower has a quick connect tting that at-
taches between the shower control knobs. Be sure the 12 volt power for the water pump is
on, or the city water connector has water available to it.
Water should be turned o using the hot / cold control knobs rather than turning o
the water with the lever on the shower head. Turning o the water with the shower head le-
ver can create a condition where the hot and cold water will mix through the outside shower
faucet, thereby reducing the temperature of the hot water. It can appear as though the hot
water heater is not working properly.
After the water has been allowed to drain from the shower head, replace it in the exterior
universal docking center.
The is operated with a rocker switch located on the utility center panel.
Any remaining water in the shower hose will drip or run
out; this is not a leak but performs as intended.
