Faucets; Bathroom Tub / Shower - Jayco JAY FEATHER Towables 2020 Owner's Manual

NOTE: The shower head may be removed from the hose so that
it will drain faster. If you remove the shower head, be sure to reas-
semble it prior to storage.
NOTE: When putting the shower assembly back into the storage
compartment, make sure the hose is not pinched or the shower head
is positioned in a way it can be damaged.

Faucets

The bathroom, kitchen and outside shower faucets operate much the same way as the faucets
in your home. Make sure there is sufficient water available and the 12-volt water pump is
turned ON before operating.
NOTE: There may be air in the water plumbing lines which needs
to be bled out before a steady stream of water comes from the
faucet.

Bathroom Tub / Shower

Keep the water heater and holding tank capacities in mind when using the fresh water sys-
tem. The used water will drain through the plumbing pipes into the grey water holding tank.
Be sure the water heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the water.
If dry camping, be sure your 12-volt water pump is ON.
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can cause severe burns instantly there-
fore, be careful when using hot water. Always test the water temperature
before showering or washing.
Unlike your home, the recreational vehicle does not contain a water pressure balance valve.
If someone is using the shower, it is recommended that the fresh water system NOT BE
USED until they are finished.
The shower faucet includes a vacuum breaker for the shower. There are two purposes for
this breaker:
To prevent siphoning water through the hose from another fixture.
To prevent water from being retained in the hose.
The showerhead DOES NOT have a complete shut-off valve (the complete shut-off is at the
faucet). The showerhead may drip slightly in the OFF position after use; this is normal and
does not indicate a leak or defect.
