Faucets; Bath And Shower; Outside Shower (Option); Drainage - Jayco Eagle 264 BH Owner's Manual

Faucets

Bathroom or kitchen faucets operate the same as in
your home. Open by turning knobs. There may be air
in lines which needs to be bled out. Close faucets when
sufficient water is released.

Bath and Shower

Your bathroom facilities function similar to those in your home. Prepare bath or shower
curtains to prevent water from spilling onto floor. Ensure water heater is in operation
before bathing. Adjust the faucets for desired temperature before entering tub or shower.
Used water will drain through plumbing pipes into gray water holding tank. Remember
there are limited capacities in the water heater and gray water holding tank. Long showers
in a recreation vehicle are NOT suggested due to the amount of water that is available.
Any tub or shower faucet requires a vacuum breaker when a shower hose and head is
used. There are two purposes for this breaker; first to prevent siphoning water through
the hose from another fixture, and secondly to prevent water from being contained in the
hose. The shower head also DOES NOT have a complete shut-off valve. Any drainage
from either part is normal function and NOT a leak. The complete shut-off is at the
faucet.

Outside Shower (Option)

A convenient faucet assembly with hot and cold water is available for exterior use
washing and rinsing on the outside of the camper.
OPERATION
1. Activate pump.
2. Open door with key and allow to hinge down.
3. Remove shower head and open valve.
4. Open faucet valves and adjust to temperature as desired.
5. To cease operation, close valve(s) on faucet and allow water
to drain from shower head.
6. Close valve on shower head.
Any water remaining in the hose will drip or run out of vacuum breaker. This is NOT a
leak, but performs as intended. Water in A.B.S. plastic box will drain out along outer
edge. The shower head can be removed to drain the hose faster. Reassemble and place
onto bracket. Keep the door closed when not in use for sanitary reasons.

Drainage

All permanent fresh water tanks can be drained by one of two types of
drain valve:
1. A white plastic drain is attached to outer wall. Open valve and
allow to drain. (Fig. 4-11)
2. A valve is located inside of coach adjacent to the water tank. The
knob turns 45° to open and close.
