PLUMBING SYSTEMS

DOES
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.

Your bathing facilities in the park trailer
function similar to those in your home.
Prepare the bath or shower curtains to
prevent water from spilling onto the floor.
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.
3. Adjust the hot and cold faucets to the
desired temperature before bathing.
4. To conserve water while showering, wet
down and turn the water OFF while you
use soap, then rinse.
5. When you are finished, shut the water
faucets OFF.
Unlike your home, the park trailer does not
contain a water pressure balance valve. If
someone
is
using
recommended that the fresh water system
NOT BE USED until he or she is finished.
Maintenance
Read the OEM operator's manual. The tub
and shower walls (if applicable) in your park
trailer are made of ABS plastic material. Use
a mild detergent soap and warm water to
clean (these cleaning instructions are similar
to those recommended for fiberglass tubs and
shower walls). Contact your dealer for repair
or replacement.
DO NOT use gritty or abrasive particle soaps
or scouring compound to clean ABS plastic.

The water purification system is located under
the kitchen sink. If the water supply has not
been used for some time, allow the water to
flow for several minutes to flush the system.
When not in use, the water filter cartridge
should be stored out of freezing temperatures.
RV antifreeze will damage the water filter
cartridge. The OEM has supplied a clear
plastic bypass hose with fittings on either end
to replace the water filter cartridge when the
park trailer is being winterized. This clear
plastic bypass hose is re-usable; store it when
it is not in use.
Each new park trailer is winterized with RV
antifreeze before it leaves Jayco, Inc. To use
the water purification system the clear plastic
bypass hose must be removed and the water
filter cartridge installed.
Replacing the water filter cartridge
Follow the instructions on the water cartridge
filter. Replace the water filter cartridge when
water flow from the kitchen faucet is too slow
for convenience, or at least once a year.
1. Drain the fresh water system.
2. Place a container beneath the water
cartridge filter to catch any spillage.
3. Unscrew the fittings at the top and bottom
of the water filter cartridge. Pull the water
filter cartridge down and out of the fittings.
Insert the new water filter cartridge and
tighten the fittings securely by hand. Dispose
of the used water cartridge filter.
