Bath and Shower
Your bathtub and shower are built
with ABS or fiberglass material,
similar to those in your home. Shower curtains or
doors 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.
Fresh Water Lines
Two (2) lines, generally red for hot and blue for cold, transport water
through out the coach. Valves to direct flow are near the city water
fill or pump area. Connector elbows and tees are plastic or copper,
and held together with compression rings for no leakage.
LOW--Point Drains
Low-Point drains are placed on recreational vehicles to drain water
from lines, tanks, and water heater to prepare coach for
winterization and sanitizing systems.
Fresh water supply tanks will have their own separate drains under
floor and/or frame, with a valve to be opened to drain, over flow
drain line may be close by.
Plumbing lines also have Low-Point drains located in various areas.
You may find them (2) for hot and cold coming out of storage areas,
outer metal skirt, through under belly covers, control centers etc.
Water should always drain out to the ground, not into underbelly
cover.
