Shower System (Option on Some Models)

The shower system in the folding camping trailer is designed to provide an easy and
convenient method of showering while in the privacy of your personal camper.
To operate the shower facility, observe the following steps:
1. Open shower countertop and secure lock.
2. Install shower hose and head. Observe 2 brackets to mount shower head, first
bracket beside faucet is for travel and storage, second bracket mounted on the roof
to use when taking a shower.
3. Prepare your curtains, shower and privacy to prevent water from reaching areas
other than shower pan.
4. Ensure water heater is in operation.
5. Open faucets and adjust to desired temperature.
6. All used water will drain in gray water tank located below camper floor.
7. To drain gray holding tank, attach a 1¼ x ¾" swivel adaptor and hose to termination
valve. After attachments are secured and hose placed in proper approved facility,
open valve and drain tank. Rinse gray water tank as desired with fresh water.
NOTE: The water heater has a six gallon capacity. The holding tank has a ten gallon
capacity.
CAUTION: In units with the bath/shower option, ensure the shower head is
secured in the wall holder before closing your camper for moving or storage. If the
shower head is left in the ceiling holder when the camper is closed, damage can
result.
