UTSIDE
HOWER
A handheld shower assembly with both hot
and cold water is available for washing or
rinsing outside the RV. Be sure the water
heater is ON and had sufficient time to heat the
water.
1. Open the door with the key and allow it to
hinge down.
2. If dry camping, be
sure
the
12-volt
water pump is ON.
3. Remove the hand
held
showerhead
and hose from its
holder and turn ON
the sprayer head
valve.
4. Open
the
faucet
knobs and adjust
them to the desired
temperature.
To
cease
operation,
close the faucet knobs and the showerhead
valve. After the water has been allowed to
drain from the showerhead, replace it in the
outside shower compartment. Any remaining
water in the shower hose will drip or run out of
the vacuum breaker; this is not a leak but
performs as intended. Water will drain out
along outer edge of the ABS plastic box.
The showerhead can be removed to drain the
hose faster. If you choose to remove the
showerhead to drain the hose, reassemble it
for storage. Coil the hose and arrange it with
the showerhead inside the faucet assembly.
Make sure that the hose is not being pinched
and the showerhead is not being damaged
when the door is closed. For sanitary reasons,
keep the exterior shower compartment door
closed when not in use.

AUCETS
The faucets operate much the same way as
the faucets in your home. Make sure there is
sufficient water available and, if dry camping,
the 12-volt water pump is turned ON before

operating. To open the faucets, turn the hot
and cold knobs ON and adjust the temperature
to your comfort level. Close the faucets when a
sufficient amount of water is released.
WARNING
Water temperatures over 125°F (49°C) can
cause severe burns instantly or death from
scalds; therefore, be careful when using hot
water. Always test the water temperature
before showering or washing.
The tub/shower faucet requires a vacuum
breaker when the shower hose and head are
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 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. There may
be air in the plumbing lines that will need to be
bled out before a steady stream of water
comes from the faucet.

Refer to the OEM operator's manual located in
your Goodie Bag.

HOWER
Your bathing facilities in the RV function similar
to those in your home. Keep the water heater
and holding tank capacities in mind when
using the fresh water system. Long showers
are not suggested due to the limited amount of
water available. The used water will drain
through the plumbing pipes into the grey water
holding tank.
1. Be sure the water heater is ON and had
sufficient time to heat the water.
2. If dry camping, be sure your 12-volt water
pump is ON.
