Outside Shower (if so equipped)
A handheld shower assembly with both hot and cold water may be included for use outside
of your recreational vehicle.
1. Be sure the water heater is ON and had sucient time to heat the water.
2. Open the outside shower compartment door.
3. If dry camping, be sure the 12-volt water pump is ON.
4. Remove the handheld shower from its holder.
5. Turn ON the hot and cold faucet knobs, and adjust the water temperature as desired.
6. To activate the handheld shower turn ON the sprayer head attachment (some models).
To turn o the water, close the hot/cold control (faucet) knobs. The lever on the
shower head will not completely stop the ow of water; this is intentional to allow for drain-
ing. After the water has been allowed to drain from the shower head, return it to the outside
shower compartment. Any remaining water in the shower hose will drip or run out; this is
not a leak but performs as intended. If you are dry camping, turn the water pump OFF.
Turning o the water with the shower head lever can also 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.
5. Before using the water system and the water heater, check the color of the water coming
out of the faucets. If water is slightly red, rinse again. If water is clear, decalcication
is nished.
6. Turn OFF the water supply or turn OFF the water pump.
7. Remove the warning signs placed earlier.
Please refer to the water heater manufacturer’s instructions included in your warranty packet.
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.
Bathroom Tub / Shower
Keep the water heater and holding tank capacities in mind when using the fresh water sys-
tem. The used water will drain through the plumbing pipes into the grey water holding tank.
Be sure the water heater is ON and had sucient time to heat the water.
If dry camping, be sure your 12-volt water pump is ON.
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can cause severe burns instantly there-
fore, be careful when using hot water.
