Turn off the pump if you are going to be away from your coach for an extended period of
time Remember to turn it on again when you return. You will not need to prime the pump
or perform any other action to restart the system.
Cold Weather Use
The entire freshwater system, including the tank and lines directly from the tank, is located
within the insulated and heated areas of your coach. Freezing should not be a factor under
normal conditions. However, there are some guidelines that should be followed when
operating your coach in extremely cold weather.
The water lines are hidden in closets and cupboards. Make sure that warm air can get to
those areas.
Keep the doors ajar, let the faucets drip a little to prevent the freezing of pipes and keep
the air in the coach circulating adequately. Do not put anything in those cabinet areas that
will prevent warm air from reaching the pipes. Keep the interior of the coach warm.
The tank and some plumbing lines are located in the basement, which is insulated and
heated. The forced air furnace supplies heat to the basement when the temperature nears
the freezing level.
The furnace has an adjustable slide-gate located at the end of the ducting on the bottom of
the plenum. In the closed position, heat will not circulate to the basement and freezing can
easily occur in cold weather.
WARNING: In extremely cold weather (below 32°F) open the kitchen cabinets to
Toilet
The toilet in your coach is a self-flushing marine model. It is designed to use as little
water as possible, while flushing cleanly and controlling odors. It differs from a home
toilet in several ways and there are guidelines to follow for best results.
The inlet to the toilet is connected directly to the fresh water system. A valve behind the
toilet allows the water supply to be cut off if necessary. Normally, the flush lever controls
water flow. Raising the lever allows water to flow into the bowl.
