SECTION 7 –
PLUMBING
Chlorine will be removed from drinking water
by the Full-Coach Water Filtration System.
Superchlorination does not affect city water
usage, only the fresh water tank.
SHOWER HOSE VACUUM
BREAKER
After using the shower, you may notice water
dripping from the shower faucet assembly. The
dripping results when vacuum in the shower hose
(after closing the shower faucet) slowly releases
and allows water remaining in the hose to drain
down. This is a normal function of the shower
valve assembly and is not a leak or defect.
If items are placed into the shower tub before
shower valve vacuum release is complete, they
may become wet.
EXTERIOR SHOWER/WASH
STATION
–If Equipped
The Exterior Shower/Wash Station feature
allows you to do things such as rinse off sand or
salt after a swim, rinse off muddy boots, or bathe
your pet outside the coach. Some models may
have a Water Pump switch located near the
shower faucet for convenience.

TOILET

–If Equipped
The toilet in your motorhome is very similar
to the household type, except that it is designed to
use only a small amount of water per flush. It
uses a high velocity jet of water, producing a
swirl effect, to efficiently cleanse the bowl.
Important "Don'ts"
Don't use facial tissue or regular toilet tissue in
the RV toilet. These will not disintegrate
sufficiently and will often cling to the sides of
the holding tank. Toilet tissue made
specifically for use in RV toilets and holding
tanks is available at most RV supply centers.
Don't dispose of sanitary napkins or other
non-dissolving items in the toilet.
Don't put automotive antifreeze or caustic
chemicals, such as laundry bleach or heavy
detergents into the toilet or holding tank.
These products may damage plastic or rubber
parts in the system.
See winterizing instructions at the end of this
section to prepare the toilet for storage in freezing
conditions.
Further Information
See the toilet manufacturer's operation
information in your InfoCase for complete
operating, care, and maintenance information.
TOILET – ELECTRIC FLUSH
–If Equipped
Your coach may be equipped with an electric
macerating toilet, which provides powerful, yet
whisper quiet operation. It is equipped with a
wall-mounted push button control and operates
on minimal water consumption.
