Bath And Shower; Drainage - Jayco Mini-Motorhome Owner's Manual

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 floor. Be sure water heater is in
operation before bathing. Adjust the faucets for desired temperature before entering tub
or shower. Shower heads are equipped with a vacuum breaker to prevent pressure
buildup. This valve allows water to bleed out. Turn water off at tub/shower faucet, not
the shower head.
Used water will drain through plumbing pipes into gray water holding tank. Remember
your capacities of 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. To conserve
water, wet down, and turn water off while you use soap, then rinse.

Drainage

To drain the permanent fresh water tank on full basement models, open the tank low
point drain valve in the utility center. On other models, open the tank low point drain
valve near the fresh water tank.
To drain the supply lines locate and open the "low-point" drains. On full basement units,
they are located in the utility center. On other units, they are located near the floor, and
may be under cabinets, dinettes, or sofas.
TO DRAIN SYSTEM:
1. Open all faucets including optional exterior shower.
2. Open fresh water tank drain.
3. Open water heater drain.
4. Open all (2 to 4 depending on the model of your unit) low-point drains.
