The faucet in your motor coach is a single lever faucet with sprayer. To use the sprayer,
pull out on the head of the faucet. Press the button on top to release the water. To
reinsert the hose, gently guide it back to the original position. If you are not hooked up to
a pressurized water system at the city water fill, you must turn the water pump switch on.
You can find the water pump switch on the monitor panel .The water pump is a demand
pump, so it will only operate when a faucet is opened to release the pressure.
There is a power roof vent in the bathroom ceiling for use during shower and hot water
use. By opening the vent and turning the fan on, hot moist air will escape, reducing
condensation in the motorhome. It is extremely important that you use the fans and vent
every time you use the shower or tub to eliminate excess condensation.
The shower hose has a bracket that keeps the shower head from dropping and
contaminating the fresh water system. It also has a vacuum breaker to prevent the head
from siphoning water back into the fresh water system. The shower operates just like
the shower at your home with two knobs that control the mix and flow of water. You can
adjust the height of the shower head by sliding the shower head up or down the
The toilet in your motorhome is a marine type toilet. It can be flushed by depressing the
foot pedal at the front of the toilet. The toilet comes with an attached hand sprayer. You
can use this to rinse out the bowl, as there is not a continuous flow of water, such as in
your home. Make sure that you use only biodegradable toilet paper. Also use plenty
of water to flush to prevent backups or blockages in the system. The toilet should be
cleaned regularly for sanitation and operational efficiency. See the product's owners
manual for proper cleaning and maintenance procedures.
