    JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 7 – FUEL SYSTEM Open the main valve slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane to the excess flow valve causing propane freeze up. If you experience a propane “freeze-up,” close the main valve and wait at least fifteen (15) minutes before trying again.
  • Page 84 SECTION 7 – FUEL SYSTEM JAYCO TOWABLE Two stage regulator The two-stage regulator has the only moving components in the propane system. Its sole function is to reduce the pressure from the propane containers to a safe and consistent low operating pressure. The first stage reduces the container pressure to 10-13 lbs.
  • Page 85 JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 7 – FUEL SYSTEM Open the main valve in the propane container slowly to avoid a fast rush of propane vapor through the excess flow valve causing propane “freeze-up.” Should you experience propane “freeze-up,” close the main valve and wait 15 minutes before trying again.

Each has a different BTU rating, and you will need to consider them to determine how long your propane supply will last.
  • Page 87 JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS There are two different water systems in your RV: the fresh water system and the waste water system. The fresh water system consists of the fresh water holding tank, fresh water connections, water pump, outside shower assembly (if so equipped), water heater, faucets, shower or tub, and water purification system (if so equipped).
  • Page 88 SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE Operation Press only one “tact” switch at a time. As you push either the “FRESH”, “BLACK” or “GREY1” switch, one or more LED lights will illuminate indicating that holding tank content level. When pushing the “BATT” switch, the highest LED light illuminated indicates the estimated auxiliary battery condition.
  • Page 89 JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS To use the city water fill If needed, sanitize the water system. Remove the connection cap and attach a non-toxic drinking water hose to the inlet. Turn ON the water at the water source. Enter the RV and open the cold water supply faucets to bleed air from the water lines.
  • Page 90 SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE 12-V & S ATER WITCH QUIPPED Once activated, the water pump (also known as the on-demand pump) will self- prime, and provide water. The water pump continues to run until approximately 45 lbs. of pressure is achieved and shut off.
  • Page 91 JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS WARNING Do not replace any component part with an accessory part that is not authorized by the water heater manufacturer, such as an “add-on” electric heating element. Such items are not approved to be installed and could create an unsafe condition and will void all warranties.
  • Page 92 SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE Odor from the hot water system Many water supplies contain sufficient amounts of sulfur to produce an odor, often called “sulfur water.” Sulfur water can be caused by a chemical action or by bacteria.
  • Page 93 JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS Consult with the local propane company, your dealer or the water heater manufacturer for proper derating of the water heater. Change out of the orifice (derating) should be done by the dealer or a qualified service agency.
  • Page 94 SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE The city water connection inlet is located in the utility center. We recommend that you use a non-toxic drinking water hose dedicated only to supplying the RV with fresh water (to reduce the chance of contamination, prevent the non-toxic drinking water hose from coming into contact with the ground).
  • Page 95 JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS AUCETS 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 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.
  • Page 96 SECTION 8 - PLUMBING SYSTEMS JAYCO TOWABLE & S ARDWARE INK OR HOWER IXTURES Use mild dish soap and water to clean these fixtures. Do not use harsh chemicals or sprays. A mild solution of vinegar and water works well to remove hard water spots and stains from the sink or shower fixtures.
