5. Operation Guidelines

5.1. Waste Management

• TST Orange Drop-Ins: After emptying your black water tank, drop one TST Orange Drop-In into the toilet and flush with sufficient water. This helps break down waste and control odors.
• RV Toilet Tissue: Use the provided RV-specific toilet tissue. Its rapid dissolving properties prevent clogs in your RV's plumbing system.
• Sewer Hose: Always empty the black water tank first, then the gray water tank. This helps rinse the sewer hose. Close all valves after emptying.

5.2. Water System Use

• TastePURE Drinking Water Hose: Use this hose exclusively for potable water to prevent contamination. Do not use it for waste disposal or other non-potable applications.
• Brass Water Pressure Regulator: This device automatically reduces incoming water pressure to a safe level (typically 40-50 PSI), protecting your RV's internal plumbing from damage due to high pressure.

5.3. Electrical Power

• 15M/30F PowerGrip Adapter: This adapter allows you to power your 30-amp RV from a standard 15-amp household outlet. Be mindful of the lower amperage; avoid running multiple high-draw appliances simultaneously to prevent tripping breakers.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning Your RV

• Wash & Wax: Mix the 32 oz. Wash & Wax solution according to its label instructions. Use the provided wash sponge to clean your RV's exterior. This product cleans and leaves a protective wax finish.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water after washing.

6.2. Component Care and Storage

• Sewer Hose: After each use, rinse the sewer hose thoroughly with water. Store it in a dedicated, sealed compartment or in the provided bucket to prevent cross-contamination.
• Drinking Water Hose: Drain all water from the hose after each use. Store it in a clean, dry place, separate from the sewer hose.
• Electrical Adapter: Keep the adapter clean and dry. Inspect for any signs of damage before each use.
• Bucket: The bucket can be used to store all kit components when not in use, helping to keep them organized and contained.

7. Troubleshooting Common Issues

7.1. Low Water Pressure

• Check Regulator: Ensure the water pressure regulator is functioning correctly. Some regulators can restrict flow if faulty.
• Campground Supply: Verify the campground's water pressure is adequate.
• Hose Kinks: Inspect the drinking water hose for any kinks or obstructions.

7.2. Sewer Hose Leaks

• Connection Points: Tighten all connections at the RV outlet and sewer inlet.
• Hose Damage: Inspect the sewer hose for cracks, punctures, or tears. Replace if damaged.

7.3. Electrical Adapter Not Working

• Outlet Check: Ensure the 15-amp household outlet is live and not tripped.
• Overload: Reduce the number of appliances running in your RV to avoid overloading the 15-amp circuit.
• Adapter Damage: Inspect the adapter for any visible damage or burnt spots.
