Shower Valve Pressure Bleed-Off; Exterior Shower/Wash Station; Waste Water System; Dumping Holding Tanks - Winnebago 2004 Itasca Sunstar Owner's Manual

To disconnect from the external source:
1. Turn the external source off.
2. Open a faucet inside the vehicle to relieve
line pressure.
3. Disconnect the hose from the vehicle and
replace the cap on the connection.

SHOWER VALVE PRESSURE BLEED-OFF

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.
The International Association of Plumbing
and Mechanical Officials Standard TSC 21-85
(PAR. 4.3) states:
"Shower heads which incorporate shutoff
valves, shall have a minimum "drip rate" of one
(1) quart in thirty (30) minutes."
CAUTION
If items are placed into the shower
tub before shower valve vacuum
release is complete, they may become
wet.

EXTERIOR SHOWER/WASH STATION

The exterior shower is located in the water
center compartment on the outside of the coach
as shown. This 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.

WASTE WATER SYSTEM

(HOLDING TANKS)
The drainage system is self-contained and
uses two separate holding tanks to contain the
waste water until it can be dumped at an appro-
priate waste water disposal site. This means you
can use the toilet, sinks and shower even in areas
where utility hookups are not available.
The main holding tank contains the sewage
from the toilet, and is commonly called the black
water tank. The second holding tank contains the
waste water from the galley sink, bathroom lava-
tory and shower, and is commonly called the grey
water tank.
The two holding tanks are both dumped
through a common outlet located on the left side
of the vehicle, near the rear wheels.

DUMPING HOLDING TANKS

1. Remove drain hose from rear bumper or
exterior storage compartment.
2. Remove dust cap from drain and connect
drain hose. Be sure it is firmly attached.
3. Place the other end of sewer hose into dis-
posal opening.
4. Dump the black water (sewage) tank first
and then the grey water (waste) tank second.
OPEN ONLY ONE VALVE AT A TIME.
