Bath and Shower
Your bathroom facilities function similar to those in your home. Prepare your bath or shower
curtains to prevent water from spilling onto the floor. Be sure the water heater is in operation
before bathing. Adjust the faucets for desired temperature before entering the tub or shower. The
shower heads are equipped with a vacuum breaker to prevent pressure buildup. This valve allows
water to bleed out. Turn the water off at the tub/shower faucet, not the shower head.
Used water will drain through the plumbing pipes in the gray water holding tank. Remember your
capacities of water heater and gray water holding tanks. Long showers in a recreation vehicle are
not suggested due to the amount of water that is available. To conserve water, wet down, and turn
water off while you use soap, then rinse.
