Faucets
The basic operation of a faucet
is the same as in your home.
Open the knobs or raise the
single lever. Close faucets
when sufficient water volume is achieved. It is normal to experience
occasional air pockets in the system when filling system.
Bath and Shower
Your bathtub and shower are built with ABS, vinyl, or fiberglass
material, similar to those in your home. Shower curtains are
provided with the coach and must be used to prevent water from
spilling onto the floor, possibly causing damage.
The shower head used in the bathroom has a non-
positive shutoff valve and will drip slightly in shut-off
position. A vacuum breaker is also built into the faucet
to permit water in hose to drain out as a code
requirement.
Before beginning your shower be sure the water
heater is lit. Adjust the faucet for temperature before
entering the tub or shower. When shower is
completed be sure to turn water off at the faucet.
Used water will drain through the plumbing pipes into the gray water
holding tank. Remember capacities of your water heater and gray
water holding tank. Long showers in a recreational vehicle are NOT
suggested due to the amount of water that is available. To conserve
water, wet down, and turn water off while you soap up, then rinse.
Outside Spray Port or Outside Shower

nozzle is located on the exterior of the unit. This faucet, hose, and
nozzle can be used for exterior washing, and rinsing of hands,
utensils or other needs.
This faucet contains mandated backflow prevention. Faucet must
be drained for storage or if freezing weather is expected.
