connections and seals in your fresh wa-
ter system.
A water pressure regulator may be ob-
tained from any well stocked RV dealer-
ship retail center and some retail
discount centers. These devices simply
connect in-line between the supply hose
and the city water input on the coach.
We recommend a regulator that controls
water pressure to 40 psi maximum.
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 coach.
4. Stick your finger up inside the connection
and gently press the backflow valve upward
to drain any water left in the line
5. Replace the protective plug back into the
threaded collar 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.
PLUMBING SYSTEMS
EXTERIOR SHOWER/
WASH STATION
The exterior shower/wash station feature
allows you to do things such as rinse off sand or
salt after a swim, rinse off muddy boots, or bath
your pet outside the coach.
The shower is located in the service center
compartment on the left side of the coach, just
ahead of the rear wheels.
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
gray water tank.
The holding tanks are dumped through a com-
mon outlet located on the left side of the vehicle,
near the rear wheels.
