PLUMBING & BATH FEATURES
FRESHWATER LINES
Check all of the plumbing connections for leaks at least on an annual basis.
If the water pump runs when all faucets are turned “off,” check for a possible leak. Be sure that the drain valves
are closed. Connections at the kitchen and bathroom faucets normally seal by hand-tightening them and then
making an additional half-turn with a wrench.
If a fitting leak persists, disconnect it completely and visually inspect it for mineral deposits or foreign
material stuck on the sealing surfaces. Clean the surfaces thoroughly and reinstall the fitting.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The waste drainage system was designed to provide adequate and safe storage and/or disposal of waste
materials. All of the materials used in the fabrication of this system are tested by a nationally recognized testing
laboratory. The drainage system uses plastic piping and fittings connected to the sinks, toilet, and holding tanks.
This plumbing permits the drainage of these fixtures to an outside termination. The vehicle should be
reasonably level for best operation of both of the wastewater systems.
There are two, separate wastewater systems. The gray-water system is for wastewater from the sinks and
shower. The black-water system is for sewage waste from the toilet. Each wastewater tank has its own control
valve and both drain through a common sewer-drain hose.
TOILET
The toilet (Figure 13-9) operates with water from either the fresh water
tank with the water pump “on” or the city water supply. Before using
the toilet, add water to the bottom of the tank. Refer to the “BLACK
WATER TANK” instructions.
The toilet flushes waste directly into the black-water holding tank. It is
imperative that you use as much water as possible when flushing to
prevent tissue and other solids from clogging the holding tank outlet.
When using your toilet, fill the toilet ¾ full of water. To add water to the
toilet bowl, push the pedal
lever 1/4 of the way down
until the desired water level is
reached. To flush the toilet,
push down on the lever until
the water swirls. A small
amount of water should
remain in the bowl.
