Water Filter
An in-line water
filter attached to the
inlet side of the
water pump filters
dirt, mineral scale,
or organic matter out
of the fresh water
system. If you
suspect a clogged
filter, it is easily
removed and cleaned. Loosen the clear filter cap at the inlet
end of the filter.
Flush out and clean screen.
Reverse procedure to install and check for leaks.
Inspect the filter after the first 90 days of use, clean it
if necessary, and inspect annually thereafter.
Shower
The shower-head is removable for hand-held use and equipped
with a water flow control device to allow you to conserve
water while showering. After showering, there may be some
water discharge at the sink faucet. This water is draining from
the shower hose through an anti-siphon valve in the faucet and
is normal.
Due to design precautions, hand held shower-heads, when in
the “hold” position must have a built-in leak rate of less than 1
gallon per 30 minutes of time. This leakage is not a defect but
is an attempt to reduce the possibility of scalding accidents
due to temperature changes from fluctuating water pressure.
Exterior Wash Station (Shower)
The exterior wash station is in the service center on the
roadside compartment for exterior use. It uses water from the
fresh water tank or when connected to the city water hookup.
The shower-head is equipped with a flow control to allow you
to conserve water. This flow control is not a permanent shut
off.
After use of the shower, the water must be shut off at control
valves or possible damage could occur to the shower-head
and/or hose.
For severe weather camping, by-pass valves are provided to
shut off the water to the exterior wash station to prevent the
system from freezing.
Waste System
The waste holding system in your camper is made up of sinks,
shower, toilet plumbing drain and vent lines, “gray water”
holding tank, and “black water” holding tank. The holding
tanks make the system completely self-contained and allow
you to dispose of wastewater at your convenience. A flexible
sewer hose is used to connect the holding tank outlet to the
inlet of an approved wastewater dump station or sewer system.
Fresh Water Flush Toilet
Your camper is equipped with a marine-type recreational
vehicle toilet. This toilet is especially designed to operate with
a minimum of water usage. The flushing mechanism, a hand-
operated lever, allows a valve in the bottom of the bowl to
open, permitting the contents to be flushed into the holding
tank below. A stream of water under pressure from the
camper’s water system swirls around the bowl, cleaning and
flushing the contents. Most models have two levers, each
working independently of the other so the bowl can be filled
with water prior to use. For additional information, please
refer to the operating manual supplied with the toilet.
NOTE: If the toilet requires a water supply for proper use.
This can be from either a city water hookup, if available, or
from the on board fresh water tank supply. The 12-volt water
pump switch must be in the “ON” position when using water
from the tank.
Black Water Holding Tank
This holding tank must be primed with 2 gallons of water and
one odor control chemical package at each initial use. Add
more odor control chemical if needed until dumping is
required. Refer to the chemical package available at most RV
outlets for specific instructions.

Bathroom
The bathroom walls are sealed and waterproof; so, do not
worry if water splashes on it. Some models are equipped with
a power roof vent in the bathroom.
Toilet
The toilet is designed to flush with a minimal amount of water
and still provide for proper disposal and odor control. Toilet
chemicals are available at most RV retail outlets. Review the
