Maintenance

Read the OEM operator’s manual or label
instructions. The tub/shower walls (if
applicable) in your RV are made of ABS
plastic material. Use a mild detergent soap
and warm water to clean. Contact your RV
dealer for repair or replacement.

Do not use gritty or abrasive particle soaps or
scouring compound to clean ABS plastic.
Avoid using “Citrus” or biodegradable
cleaners which contain “D-Limonene.” They
will damage plastic materials.

The water purification system is located under
the kitchen sink. If the water supply has not
been used for some time, allow the water to
flow for several minutes to flush the system.
When not in use, the water filter cartridge
should be stored out of freezing temperatures.
RV antifreeze will damage the water filter
cartridge. The OEM has supplied a clear
plastic bypass hose with fittings on either end
to replace the water filter cartridge when the
RV is being winterized. This clear plastic
bypass hose is re-usable; store it when it is
not in use.

Each new RV is winterized with RV
antifreeze before it leaves Jayco, Inc. To
use the water purification system the clear
plastic bypass hose must be removed and
the water filter cartridge installed.

Replacing the water filter cartridge

Replace the water filter cartridge when water
flow from the kitchen faucet is too slow for
convenience, or at least once a year.

1. Drain the fresh water system.

2. Place a container beneath the water

cartridge filter to catch any spillage.

3. Unscrew the fittings at the top and bottom

of the water filter cartridge. Pull the water
filter cartridge down and out of the fittings.

4. Insert the new water filter cartridge and

tighten the fittings securely by hand.
Dispose of the used water cartridge filter.

For more information

Refer to the OEM operator’s manual and the
label on the water filter cartridge.

If your RV came with the factory-installed
power package option you have the
convenience and added benefit of an air
compressor, water pressure washer and
battery jumper pack. Read the individual
component OEM operator’s manuals. If you
have further questions, consult with your
dealer, the OEM or Jayco Customer Service.

To utilize the exterior water connection

The RV is equipped with a quick coupler
water connection on the exterior sidewall.
Water can be used from this connection when
the RV is attached to a city water source (or
from the on-board fresh water tank with the
use of the 12-volt on-demand water pump).
Use this connection to access water through
the fresh water system to spray off
equipment, vehicles, etc.

1. Locate the quick coupler connection

2. Attach the coupler to the trailer by:

a. Pushing back on the sleeve on the

trailer socket.

b. Inserting the quick coupler plug that

and release the sleeve.

c. Pushing the plug until the sleeve

snaps forward, locking the plug into
the trailer socket.

3. Connect a garden hose to the quick

coupler to access the water.
