Water Heater
Your water heater is manufactured by Atwood Mobile Products. Complete safety,
operating and maintenance instructions are supplied by Atwood with your motorhome.
Make sure you read, understand and follow all instructions before operating the water
heater. If you have further questions, consult with your independent, authorized dealer
and/or visit the manufacturer's website at www.atwoodmobile.com.
BATHROOM
Your bathroom facilities function similar to those in a home. Ensure the water heater is
operating before bathing. Adjust the faucets for desired temperature before entering the tub
or shower.
Used water will drain into the 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. Refer to waste
disposal and plumbing sections of this manual for further information on operation and
emptying the holding tanks.
Tub or shower faucet requires a vacuum breaker when a shower hose and head is used.
There are two purposes for this breaker:
• To prevent siphoning water through the hose from another fixture.
• 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.
Toilet
The operation of the toilet in your motorhome is important and needs to be understood to
keep it operating correctly. The capacities, function and emptying of your holding tanks are
also an important part of proper operation covered in this manual. Make sure that you read,
understand and follow all information about the function of your sanitation system.
The care and maintenance of your toilet are important. Make sure that you read the toilet
manufacturer supplied information on its operation and care. If you have further questions,
consult with your independent, authorized dealer and/or visit the manufacturer's at
www.thetford.com.
Faucets
Faucets in your motorhome operate the same as in a home. There may be air in the lines
when tanks are filled or when you first hook up to exterior water sources. Make sure you
allow the air to escape before turning the faucet off. Close faucets when sufficient water is
released. Refer to instructions supplied with your motorhome for operating instructions.
