6.8 WATER / PLUMBING SYSTEM
A trailer water system consists of a fresh, grey
and black water system plus a water heater and
plumbing. Be sure to review, understand and
follow all operating instructions for the system.
6.8.1 WATER HEATER
The water heater is located next to an outside wall
and is only accessible from the outside. Water
heaters are designed to operate using either LP
gas or 120 volt electric power. Both electric and
gas power sources require water in the tank before
starting to heat water or the element will burn out.
To select electric power:
1. Open water heater access door on the out-
side of the vehicle. (Figure 6-8)
Do not touch the heater canister and burner
exhaust vent. These components are
extremely hot and contact can cause
serious burns.
2. Remove the click pin lock through the rocker
switch. (Figure 6-9)
3. Depress the on portion of the switch to turn the
power on to the electric heating element.
IMPORTANT
The electric water heating system will operate
when turned on only when the shoreline is
plugged in and there is sufficient 120 volt AC
power available. If there is insufficient or no
power, you may elect to revert back to gas to
heat the water.

4. Refer to operator's manual in information
package for more detailed operating instruc-
tions.
To select LP gas power only:
1. Depress the off portion of the rocker switch.
2. Secure with click pin.
3. Turn on the water heater switch located in the
kitchen. A red light in the system switch will
come on when the burner has ignited.
IF YOU SMELL GAS
1. Extinguish any open flame, pilot lights and all
smoking material.
2. Do not touch electrical switches.
3. Shut off the LP tank valve.
4. Open doors, windows and roof vents.
5. Leave the area until the odour is gone.
6. Have the system checked for leaks and
make the necessary corrections and repairs.
