Introduction

Eagle Fifth Wheels is a brand of luxury fifth-wheel RVs manufactured by Jayco, a subsidiary of Thor Industries. The Eagle Fifth Wheels brand has a long history of providing high-quality, luxurious RVs that cater to the needs of discerning travelers.

Jayco was founded in 1968 by Lloyd Bontrager, who wanted to create a better RV that was more affordable and offered better amenities than what was available at the time. The company began producing pop-up campers and expanded into travel trailers and fifth-wheels over the years. In 1992, Jayco introduced the Eagle Fifth Wheel line, which quickly became popular among RV enthusiasts.

The Eagle Fifth Wheels line offers a range of models that cater to different travel styles and preferences. The brand is known for its spacious interiors, high-quality materials, and attention to detail. The fifth wheels are designed to be both functional and stylish, with features such as multiple slide-outs, large windows, and high-end appliances.

In addition to its luxurious features, Eagle Fifth Wheels are also known for their durability and reliability. The fifth wheels are built using a strong, welded aluminum frame, which provides a solid foundation for the RV. The walls and roof are made of vacuum-bonded fiberglass, which makes them lightweight and durable. The fifth wheels are also equipped with high-quality suspension systems and tires, which provide a smooth ride on the road.

Over the years, Eagle Fifth Wheels has continued to innovate and improve its products, incorporating new technologies and features to enhance the RV experience. The brand has won numerous awards for its RVs, including the DSI Award for Excellence in Quality and the RVDA Quality Circle Award.

Today, Eagle Fifth Wheels remains one of the most popular brands of luxury fifth wheels on the market, catering to the needs of travelers who value comfort, style, and reliability. The brand continues to push the boundaries of RV design, incorporating new features and technologies to provide the ultimate RV experience.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Sealants User Manual

Sealants

Caution

Failure to properly maintain or reseal your recreation vehicle may result in serious water damage to the roof and other parts of the recreation vehicle. This damage is not covered by the Limited Warranty.
To check the exterior sidewall sealants, use a stepladder placed safely alongside the vehicle. Do not prop a ladder against the body of the RV as it may damage the exterior finish.

Sealants perform a very important function and should be inspected closely and regularly maintained. We incorporate many different types of sealants, including butyl/putty, black butyl-encapsulated foam, silicone (clear and colored), roof sealant and foam. In general, sealants do not have “set” lifetimes. Varying environmental factors affect the pliability and adhesiveness of sealants.

You or your dealer must:

Inspect all sealants, a minimum of every six months. Make sure to check the roof and all four sides of the recreation vehicle including al moldings, doors, vents and exterior attachments. A quick walk around the recreation vehicle before leaving may help prevent potential problems during trips and vacations.
Have the sealant replaced if you notice any cracks, peeling, voids, gaps, breaks, looseness or any sign of physical deterioration? Reseal at least one time each year as preventative maintenance.
Always use the same type of sealant that was removed. Your dealer service or parts manager can help you obtain the correct sealant(s).

RV Storage

Properly preparing your RV for storage during periods of non-usage will prevent problems from arising. It will also make it easier to get started again for the following camping trip or season. To prevent costly freeze-ups, winterize the plumbing system when it will not be in use for an extended period of time, especially if it is stored in colder climates.

Prior to Storage

Store your RV indoors, under a roof or with a “breathable” cover for use during storage.
To prevent weather checking and other UV damage, cover tires exposed to sunlight.
Thoroughly wash the interior and exterior of your RV.
Do not use the stabilizing jacks during storage.
Check the roof and other surfaces to ensure there is no damage and potential leakage that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Inspect and seal off any area that offers an entry point for rodents, birds or insects. Cover all external outlets (i.e. furnace, vents, etc.). Damage from birds, rodents, insects, etc., is not covered under the “Towable Limited Warranty” applicable to your RV.
Close all windows and roof vents.
Cover the roof air conditioner (if so equipped).
Close the propane cylinder valve(s). We recommend using a propane cylinder cover, and to make sure the propane regulator is covered. If is equipped with a gas/electric DSI range, light a range gas burner to consume any gas remaining in the lines. Once the flame extinguishes itself, turn the burner valve OFF.
Drain all water lines. Make sure the RV is winterized
Drain and flush all holding tanks (fresh water, gray water, black water and/or hot water tanks).
Adding fuel stabilizer to the generator (if so equipped) will aid in preventing condensation and fuel varnishing.
Disconnect 120-volt AC power to the RV.
Remove all batteries from the RV and store in a place where they will not freeze. A battery that has been frozen will never hold a proper charge.
Turn all cushions on edge to prevent the moisture/mildew buildup during storage.
Turn off 12-volt DC/120-volt AC/propane to the refrigerator; defrost and clean. Block the doors open so air can circulate and prevent mildew, or use crumpled newspaper or open boxes of baking soda in the refrigerator to eliminate odors during storage.
Remove all perishables from the cabinets. Leave the cabinets and doors ajar to allow air circulation and prevent mildew and musty odors.
Lubricate locks and hinges on exterior doors.

During Storage Period

Remove snow from the top of your RV to prevent damage to the unit’s structure.

Caution
Excessive snow, 8” or more, or ice, 2” or more, places excessive weight on the RV roof. Remove excessive snow or ice as needed. Care MUST be exercised to not damage the roof material when removing snow & ice. Excessive weight can damage the roof, seals, etc. Water leaks and poor fit or operation are the results of this damage.

Fifth Wheels Jayco

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Frame User Manual

Frame

Sand, pebbles, objects on the highway, climate (salt air exposure) or ice-inhibiting chemicals used during the winter months will damage the paint, inviting rust and other deterioration. Periodically inspect the exterior exposed areas, clean and repaint the frame members occasionally, and whenever you notice rust or paint chipped away, to insure protection.

E-Z Lube or Super-Lube Axle (if so equipped)

The E-Z lube or Super-lube feature on your axles provides the ability for the bearings to be periodically lubricated without removing the hubs from the axle. This feature consists of axle spindles that have been specially drilled and fitted with grease zerks in their ends. When grease is pumped into the zerk, it is channeled to the inner bearing and then flows back to the outer bearing and eventually back out the grease cap hole. If you have further questions, consult with your dealer.

NOTE:
The convenient lubrication provisions of the E-Z lube or Super-lube feature must not replace periodic inspection and maintenance of the bearings. Use a hand-operated grease gun; improper use of a commercial grease gun may damage the seals.

Exterior Roof and Sidewall Vents

Inspect the roof vents, including sealants for cracks and keep them clean. Inspect the refrigerator and holding tank vents for blockages from bird nests, spider webs, leaves, etc. All exterior access doors and vents need to be kept clean and free of obstructions (i.e., insect nests, mud daubers, etc.) while the appliances are in use.

Windows

Any ventilating window may permit water inside, especially during heavy rainstorms. Condensation will also cause water to accumulate on windows and in the tracks.

Window glass
The window glass can normally be cleaned with a sponge and water. Use glass cleaner to remove wax, oil, grease, dead insects, etc. After washing the glass, wipe it dry with a clean, soft cloth.

Exterior Ladder (if so equipped)

Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with an exterior roof ladder. The RV roof has decking under the rubber roof membrane to allow you to walk on the roof (with caution) to do maintenance.

Warning

If your recreation vehicle is equipped with a roof ladder, do not leave items attached to it while traveling. DO NOT exceed the weight rating of the ladder. The ladder weight capacity label is located under the bottom step of the ladder. There should never be more than one person on the ladder at the same time.
Self-Storing ladders: Make sure to pull all pins (there may be up to 4) to unlock the ladder. All pins must be re-inserted when locking the lad-der open for use.

LADDER CAPACITY MAXIMUM 300 lbs. (136 kg)

DO NOT exceed the ladder maximum weight rating.
The maximum rating includes the person’s weight PLUS weight of items carried.
When climbing:
- Always face the ladder.
- Climb slowly with weight centered between side rails.
- Keep a 3 point contact on the ladder at all times (3 Point contact-two hands and a foot or two feet and one hand).
Keep hands free.
- Use of accessories such as lanyards to keep carried items tethered will keep hands free and prevent falling items.
- Heavy or bulky items should be brought up only after reaching the roof.
Do not use the ladder if damaged in any way.
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in death or serious injury.

Some models may be equipped with a self-storing ladder mounted to the side of the vehicle. Self-Storing Ladder operation

Pull all the locking pins out of the ladder brackets (Fig. A).
Pull the ladder down and toward you and it will swing away from the RV.
When the brackets are extended (Fig. B), re-insert the pins to lock the ladder in place while in use.
To return the ladder to the storage position; pull the locking pins and push the ladder up and in towards the RV.
When the ladder is in the storage position, re-insert all locking pins to prevent the ladder from opening while traveling.

Fifth Wheels Jayco

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 During cold weather User Manual

During cold weather

Salt and other chemicals that are spread on winter roads in some geographical areas can have a detrimental effect on the recreation vehicle’s underbody.
If your recreation vehicle is exposed to these conditions, spray the underbody with a high-pressure hose every time you wash the exterior of your recreation vehicle.
Take special care to remove mud or other debris that could trap and hold salt or moisture. After washing your recreation vehicle, wipe off all water drops from the rubber parts around the slideout and doors.

NOTE:
When the slideout or door is frozen, opening it by force may tear off or crack the rubber gasket that is installed around the slideout or door. Pour warm water on the gasket to melt the ice (wipe off the water thoroughly after opening the slideout or door). To prevent the weather stripping from freezing, treat it with a silicone spray.

Waxing

Wax your recreation vehicle once or twice a year, or when painted surfaces do not shed water well. Use a soft cloth to apply a small amount of wax to the painted surfaces. After the wax has dried, polish the recreation vehicle with a dry, soft cloth. Do not wax your recreation vehicle in direct sunlight. Wax it after the surfaces have cooled. Do not apply wax to any area having a flat black finish as it can cause discoloration. If the finish has been stained with wax, wipe off the area with a soft cloth and warm water. When waxing the area around the various openings, do not apply any wax on the weather strip. If it is stained with wax, the weather strip cannot maintain a weatherproof seal around the opening.

Caution

Do not use waxes containing high-abrasive compounds. Such waxes remove rust and stains effectively from the paintwork, but they are also harmful to the luster of the painted surface since they scrape off the coating. Further, they are detrimental to glossy surfaces, such as grille, garnish, moldings, etc. Do not use gasoline or paint thinners to remove road tar or other contamination from the painted surface.
Do not use a buffer and a buffing compound as it may damage the exterior surface. Please contact a professional paint body shop for assistance.

Polishing your recreation vehicle

If painted surfaces have been severely damaged and have lost their original luster and color tone, polish the surface lightly with a fine polishing compound. Avoid limiting your polishing to the damaged surface only; polish a somewhat wider area, moving the polishing cloth in one direction. After polishing, flush the compound from the surface and apply a coat of wax to regain a beautiful luster.

Damaged paint

To prevent corrosion, touch up small cracks and scratches in the paint coat as soon as possible with touch-up film or paint. Carefully check the body areas facing the road and the tires for damage to the paint coat caused by flying stones, etc.

Cleaning plastic parts

Use a sponge or chamois to clean plastic parts. Use warm water and a soft cloth or chamois to remove any white residue from dark-colored plastic surfaces. Do not use a scrubbing brush, other hard tools, or wax-containing abrasives as they may damage the plastic surface.

Caution
Do not allow the plastic to come into contact with brake fluid, engine oil, grease, paint thinner, or battery acid. These will damage the plastic. Use a soft cloth and a mild detergent solution to wipe away any such contact.

Chrome parts
To prevent chrome parts from spotting or corroding, wash with water, dry thoroughly, and apply a non-abrasive automotive wax. If the chrome is severely damaged or pitted, use a commercially available chrome polish product.

If your recreation vehicle is exposed to these conditions, spray the underbody with a high-pressure hose every time you wash the exterior of your recreation vehicle.
Take special care to remove mud or other debris that could trap and hold salt or moisture. After washing your recreation vehicle, wipe off all water drops from the rubber parts around the slideout and doors.

Fifth Wheels Jayco

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Flooring User Manual

Flooring

Carpet

Vacuum your carpet regularly. It is important to remove loose soil and debris while it is on the surface. Heavily traveled areas (i.e., walkways, and areas in front of the furniture) may be protected with small throw rugs to prolong the life of the carpet. Prompt attention to spots and spills is essential. Remove as much of the spill as possible. Absorb wet spills as quickly as possible by blotting repeatedly with white paper or cloth towels. Refer to the manufacturer’s guide for detailed cleaning information, or contact a cleaning professional.

Vinyl Flooring (if so equipped)

Periodically vacuum or sweep to remove dirt and gritty particles. Although most common spills will not permanently stain the vinyl floors, they are usually easier to remove if wiped up before they are set. Blot with a paper towel and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not use dish detergents or vinegar and water because they will dull your floor.
To care for the vinyl floor covering, use a damp mop with water and a mild cleaner on the entire floor. DO NOT SOAK THE FLOORING. Use care to avoid wetting the carpet edges. To avoid problems of “yellowing” linoleum, the flooring manufacturer recommends avoiding cleaners that contain oil-based solvents (i.e. lemon oil, Murphy’s Oil Soap, etc.).

Ceramic Tile (if so equipped)

Vacuum the ceramic floor tiles regularly to remove dirt and other gritty particles, then damp mop or sponge with an all-purpose, non-oil-based cleaner. Heavily trafficked tile may require more intensive cleaning. Refer to the manufacturer’s guide or contact a cleaning professional for detailed cleaning information.
Grout, the material used between the tiles is porous, and sealing it will simplify maintenance in the future. The ceramic tile manufacturer recommends applying a sealer at least twice a year for maximum stain protection. Sealers may be purchased at most local home centers or floor-covering stores.

DO NOT:

Use cleansers containing acid or bleach for routine maintenance.
Use wax cleaners, oil-based detergents or sealants to maintain your tile (sealants may be used on grout joints and natural stone).
Use ammonia (it will discolor grout).
Use harsh cleaning aids like steel wool pads or scouring pads containing metal.
Use a cleaning agent that contains color on unglazed ceramic tile or natural stone.
Test scouring powders on a small area first (not recommended for natural stone).
Use a sealer on grout joints.
Have any damaged or broken tiles replaced only by a qualified contractor.

Murphy Bed (if so equipped)

Your recreational vehicle may be equipped with a folding Murphy bed. When in the closed position, the bed is stored in the wall allowing for more living space within the vehicle. When you want to use the bed, the sofa folds flat and the bed can be pulled down over the sofa into the sleeping position.

Caution
The slide-out must be fully extended before putting the Murphy bed in the sleeping position. The Murphy bed must be in the stored position before the slide out can be moved to the in (travel) position. Failure to do so may result in injury or property damage. This label has been installed in your recreational vehicle at the foot end of the Murphy bed. It should not be removed.

Unfolding the Sofa
With the slideout fully extended, unfold the sofa into a flat position.

Lowering the Murphy bed

Unlatch the “D” bolt latches on each side of the bed at the footboard (in the stored position). This will release the Murphy bed allowing it to unfold.
Firmly grasp the handle on the footboard of the Murphy bed, and pull it towards you.
The bed will begin to unfold. Pull it all the way down so the footboard rests on the floor.
When the bed is in the sleeping position, locate the web straps with snap hooks on the footboard of the bed (there is one on each side of the bed). Attach (both) snap hooks to the metal loops located on the sofa arms. These straps and loops keep the bed from folding up while in use.

NOTE:
The straps are adjustable. They have been installed at a length that holds the bed securely in place and allows ease of attaching the snap to the metal loops.

Warning
Snap hooks (if present) must be attached to the steel rings on the sofa arms before using the bed. Failure to attach these snap hooks to the steel loops on the sofa can result in serious injury or property damage.

MAKE SURE THE SAFETY STRAPS AT EACH SIDE OF THE FOOTBOARD ARE ATTACHED TO THE STEEL LOOPS ON THE SOFA ARMS BEFORE PUTTING ANY WEIGHT ON THE BED.

The label shown here is located next to the slide-out controls inside the entrance door. It should not be removed.

NOTE:
On some models, the Murphy bed may lock in place when lowered to keep it from flipping up unexpectedly. In order to release the bed, a lever must be pulled first. There are two types of levers. One is a “T” handle installed in the side dresser and the other is a lever built into the side of the couch. When the lever is pulled, the bed can be returned to the folded or stored position. Make sure to latch the sliding “D” bolts on each side when the bed is returned to the upright stored position.

Remove the straps holding the mattress to the bed frame by un-snapping the two plastic buckles on top of the mattress. These straps can be stored on the side of the mattress, or tucked between the headboard and the mattress. Release the mattress hook from the foot of the bed.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Bunk Beds and Ladders User Manual

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Bunk Beds and Bunk Ladders User Manual

Bunk Beds and Bunk Ladders

Your recreational vehicle may be equipped with bunk-style beds. Bunk bed weight ratings may vary depending on your model and the style of the bunk bed. Weight capacities are listed on the bunk capacity label. Do not exceed the bunk weight capacity.

Bunk Ladders (if so equipped)

Your recreational vehicle may be equipped with a ladder to access the upper bunk. This ladder may be a separate steel ladder or a wooden ladder attached to the bunk beds.
The top of the ladder is secured to the ladder storage compartment. To operate the ladder, lift up and out of the storage tray. Pivot the bottom of the ladder out. Be sure the ladder is securely in place on the floor before climbing to the upper bunk. When storing the wood ladder, place the bottom of the ladder back into the tray in the storage compartment. This keeps it secure during transport and clear of walkways. The steel ladder (if equipped) will simply hook onto the upper bunk.

NOTE:
Some types of bunk beds do not include a ladder.

Warning

Exercise extreme care when entering or exiting the bunk beds and using the ladder.
Do not allow more than one person on the top bunk.
Do not allow children under 6 years of age to use the upper bunk.
Do not allow horseplay on or under the bed and prohibit jumping on the bed.
Make sure the ladder is anchored properly to the bed.
Never allow more than one person on the ladder at a time.
Children should always be supervised when using the ladder or when entering or exiting the bunk beds.
The weight limit of the bunk ladder is 300 lbs. (136 kg). Never exceed this weight.
Maximum weight limits for bunk beds will vary depending on the model or bunk style. Never exceed the maximum weight specified on the bunk capacity label.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious bodily injury.

Cleaning The Exterior

To protect your recreation vehicle’s exterior finish, wash it often and thoroughly. You may wash and wax your new recreation vehicle 60 days after purchase. The exterior paint needs time to cure before any wax is applied to the exterior surface. Careful maintenance for the first 60 days will assure a long-lasting durable finish.
Your RV is exposed to many environmental conditions that have an adverse effect on the paint finish:

Road Salt and Sodium Chloride
Road Tar / Bugs
Bird Droppings / Tree Sap
Industrial Fallout / Acid Rain/Pollution
UV Exposure and Moisture

The most common problems resulting from these conditions are corrosion, staining, and chemical spotting. Generally, the longer the foreign material remains in contact with the exterior finish the more extensive the damage. These problems can be minimized by regularly scheduled washing and polishing. Wash your recreation vehicle as soon as possible if it becomes contaminated with foreign material. Avoid parking under trees or near ocean sea salt. Ice or snow should be brushed off, not scraped, from the painted surface. Avoid gravel roads. Anti-freeze, gasoline or washer solvents if spilled on the painted surface should be rinsed off with water immediately. Bugs and bird droppings should be rinsed off daily.

Washing
Commercial washing should be avoided. Wash with cold water using a mild liquid soap. Dry wiping with a dry cloth is not recommended.
Make sure the RV’s surface temperature is cool, under 90 F, and out of direct sunlight. A shaded area is ideal for washing your vehicle as direct sunlight causes water spotting. Use a mild soap, detergent or car wash shampoo. Try to avoid combination wash-n-wax products as these waxes can cause build-up and are designed for smaller surfaces. Have two dedicated sponges or wash mitts: one for the paint finish and one for the wheels and undercarriage. Brushes or wash mitts made of plastic bristles are acceptable for use on tires and wheel wells but are not intended for use on the paint finish. Avoid using such items on painted surfaces as they will damage the finish. Wash the wheels and wheel wells first as this removes heavy dirt and debris and prevents it from splattering on panels. Wet the entire area down to remove loose dirt and grime, then hand washes one area at a time using your dedicated paint finish sponge or wash mitt. Wash from the top and work your way down, rinsing frequently to minimize grit abrasion. Follow with a final rinse of water. This process will remove most contamination from the RV’s surface.

For stubborn stains such as road tar or bug stains, use an ammonia-based glass cleaner or a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a damp cloth followed immediately by warm soapy water, and rinse with clean water. This may not dissolve the road tar, but it will loosen tar and bug stains and remove them from the surface.
Do not use solvent-based cleaners on bird droppings or tree sap as these are water-based stains. They can be dissolved using an ammonia-based glass cleaner, warm soapy water, and a little “elbow grease”. After removing stubborn stains immediately rinse with clean water. Drying the RV is just as important as washing it. Tap water and well water contain many chemicals that could water stain your RV’s finish. We suggest using a damp natural or synthetic chamois. There are other drying products such as lint-free micro-fiber towels that work just as well.

Cleaning The Interior

To keep the value of your recreation vehicle, perform regular maintenance using the proper materials and procedures. Using the wrong cleaner may result in damage to the surfaces in your vehicle. Check with the manufacturer’s information for the recommended cleaning agent. If in doubt, check to see if the cleaner will cause damage by testing a small area out of sight or contact your dealer for assistance. Do not use flammable liquids or sprays to clean the recreation vehicle.

Décor Glass (if so equipped)

Use a glass cleaner to remove smudges, smears, and spots. If there is decorative etching on the décor glass, use care when cleaning around that area.

Furniture Upholstery
Vacuum the furniture upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove any loose dirt or debris.

Fabric (if so equipped)

It is recommended the fabric be professionally cleaned if it becomes stained or soiled. The professional cleaner should be made aware of the fabrics that may have been treated to be fire-resistant. For more information, refer to the specific furniture manufacturer’s care instructions. Ultraleather™ (if so equipped): It is recommended the Ultraleather™ be professionally cleaned if it becomes stained or soiled. For more information, refer to the specific furniture manufacturer’s care instructions. Leather (if so equipped): Periodic vacuuming, using a dry cloth to wipe up spills immediately, and using a damp cloth on problem areas, will help to keep your leather furniture in good condition. Leather surfaces can vary, as do the cleaning methods. Refer to the furniture manufacturer’s recommendation, or consult a cleaning professional. It is recommended you do not use any cleaners containing oils, waxes, or silicones. Cleaners containing silicone can eventually destroy the finish of the leather. Cleaners containing oils or waxes should not be used as they leave residues on the surface of the leather, which can attract more dirt and eventually lead to cracking.

Window Treatments
Fabric – Drapes and Valances: Dust occasionally with a vacuum and soft brush attachment. It is recommended the fabric be professionally cleaned if it becomes stained or soiled. The professional cleaner should be made aware of the fabrics that may have been treated to be fire-resistant.

Refer to the shade manufacturer’s owner’s manual for additional and detailed information. To remove stuck dust or stains refer to the following guide.

Solar Shields:
Use a sponge or soft brush and water to remove stains. A mild cleaning solution can be used to remove tougher stains. Rinse after cleaning by wetting a clean cloth in fresh water, wringing out any excess, and wiping the areas where the cleaner was used.

Day/Night Shades:
Clean with a mild cleaning solution using a sponge or paper towel. Wipe down with water after cleaning and dry thoroughly before raising the shade. Do not use spot remover, household cleaners, or detergents to remove soiled spots, as these may cause damage to fabric or loss of color from fading.

Mini Blinds:
A simple dry rag may do the trick. If they are especially dirty, you can use cold or warm water to clean them; never use hot water.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Pantry or Hutch User Manual

Pantry or Hutch

Your recreation vehicle may have a pantry or hutch that you can use for storage. Make sure all items stored in the pantry or hutch are secured to prevent shifting during travel. This cabinetry has been designed to accommodate normal camping items which may be bulky but not necessarily heavy. Remember your recreation vehicle’s load capacity is designed by weight, not volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space. If your pantry or hutch has sliding pantry shelves, they have been equipped with a locking mechanism to keep them in place during transit. To secure the shelf in place, push it all of the way in until the latch tab clicks into place. Always pull out slightly on the shelf to make sure that it is stationary and secure in the transit position. To release the shelf, push in on the tab and pull the shelf slowly towards you.

Warning
Your RV’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading the vehicle. Do not exceed your GVWR and ensure you are loading the vehicle as evenly as you can for the best possible handling. Ensure heavy items are secured so they do not shift during travel.

Countertops

To prevent permanent damage

Always use hot pads or trivets under hot pans, dishes, or heat-producing appliances.
Heat will damage countertops.
Use a cutting board to prevent unnecessary damage to the countertops
Avoid harsh chemicals such as drain cleaners, oven cleaners, etc.
Do not let cleaners with bleach set on the top. Wipe them off promptly.
Run cold water when pouring hot/boiling water into the sink.
Use coasters under all glasses, bottles, and cans.
Do not store toiletry products directly on your countertop surface. Hair products, perfumes, colognes, nail products, creams, lotions, and potions have a tendency to spill or leak and go overlooked. Even though the countertop is sealed, a substance that remains on the surface for an extended period may stain the countertop.

For additional information on the removal of difficult stains or surface damage repair, refer to the countertop manufacturer’s user guide.

Laminate Countertops (if so equipped)

Glass rings, food spills, water spots, and smudges usually wipe off with a damp sponge. Stubborn stains can be removed with a general-purpose spray cleaner. Some stains can be removed by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the stain and allowing the juice to soak for approximately forty-five minutes. After 45 minutes, sprinkle baking soda over the lemon juice and rub with a soft cloth.

Solid Surface Countertops (if so equipped)

Soapy water, ammonia-based cleaners (not window cleaners as they can leave a waxy build-up that may dull the surface), or commercially available solid surface cleaners will remove. most dirt and residue from all types of finishes. A damp cloth followed by a dry towel will remove watermarks.
Difficult stains can be removed from the matte finish with a green Scotch Brite® pad and a mild abrasive cleaner. Disinfect the surface periodically with diluted household bleach (one part water to one part bleach). For cuts and scratches, the matte finish lightly with (220) fine grit sandpaper until the cut or scratch is gone. Restore the finish with a green Scotch Brite® pad and mildly abrasive cleaner.

Solid surface sink maintenance
Occasionally, clean the solid surface sink by filling it one-quarter full with a 50/50 water/bleach solution. Let soak for 15 minutes, and then wash the sides and bottom of the sink as the solution drains.

Quartz Countertops (if so equipped)

Quartz will absorb heat from the pan. Resin in the countertop can withstand temperatures of 150°. Do not place a hot pan (from stove or oven) on a quartz countertop as it will burn or cause permanent damage. Heat will damage the solid surface countertops.
Quartz is highly scratch-resistant and stain-resistant but prolonged exposure to sunlight can eventually damage a Quartz countertop.

NOTE:
Only have a professional fabricator repair

Cleaning your countertop

To keep quartz countertops clean, wipe up spills immediately before they have a chance to dry. Use mild dishwashing soap and a soft cloth. For dried spills a non-abrasive sponge (designed for nonstick pans) works well along with a little elbow grease. Keep a plastic putty knife handy for scraping off gum, nail polish, paint or other messes.
Remove cooking grease using a degreasing product that will loosen then remove the grease. Follow cleanser manufacturer instructions. For stains like permanent markers moisten a cloth with Goo Gone (or similar) and rub it into the stain. Rinse with warm water. General deep cleaning is recommended at regular intervals using a nonabrasive surface cleaner on the countertop. Let it sit for 10 minutes and wipe it with a non-abrasive sponge.

Never use abrasive cleansers and avoid scouring pads. If you need a gentle cleanser to remove stains make sure it is specifically designed for Quartz.
Do not use nail polish remover, turpentine, drain cleaner, and dishwashing rinsing agents. You may use diluted bleach or a mild bleach cleanser, but oven cleaners or concentrated bleach should never be used. If they come in contact with the countertop, rinse immediately with water.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Refrigerator User Manual

Refrigerator

The refrigerator is not intended for quick freezing or cooling. We recommend stocking it with pre-frozen or pre-cooled food when possible. The shelves should not be covered with paper or plastic and the food items should be arranged so air can circulate freely. Keep the area at the back of the refrigerator clean and free of debris. Check for obstructions in the exterior refrigerator vent area (i.e., spider webs, bird nests, etc.). Use a soft cloth to dust off the debris. For optimum efficiency and performance, it is recommended the refrigerator be checked at least twice a year as part of the routine maintenance. For detailed operating and safety information, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.

Gas/Electric Models (if so equipped)

WARNING
If you smell propane gas STOP! Follow the directions located in your manufacturer’s owner’s manual and in this manual.

Residential Models (if so equipped)

NOTE: If you are using electricity to power the refrigerator, make sure you are connected to a 120-volt power source.

CAUTION
The ice maker should be turned off and the ice tray emptied when power to your motor home has been shut off. With no power, the ice will melt and water will “pool” in the refrigerator door. When power is restored, the vibration will cause this water to run out of the door and onto the motor home floor.

Cleaning Your Refrigerator

The following are general cleaning guidelines. For detailed information on cleaning your specific refrigerator, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.

Cleaning the Interior

Unplug the refrigerator or disconnect the power.
Hand wash, rinse, and dry removable parts and interior surfaces thoroughly. Use a clean sponge or soft cloth and mild detergent in warm water.
Inside the refrigerator, use a warm water and baking soda solution consisting of approximately 1 tablespoon (15ml) of baking soda to 1 quart (1 liter) of water. This solution cleans and neutralizes odors. Rinse and wipe dry.
Leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator and freezer to help prevent odors.
- NOTE: Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools.

There is no need for routine condenser cleaning in normal operating environments. If the environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or if there is significant pet traffic, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency.

If you need to clean the condenser:

Remove the base grille.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush to clean the grille, the open areas behind the grille, and the front surface area of the condenser.
Replace the base grille when finished.

Cleaning the Exterior

Painted metal exteriors: wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth and mild detergent in warm water. Stainless steel exteriors: wash with a clean sponge or soft cloth and mild detergent in warm water. Do not use appliance wax, polish, bleach, or other products containing chlorine on stainless steel. Stainless steel can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. A spray-on stainless steel cleaner works best. Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish to come into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim pieces, dispenser covers, or door gaskets. If unintentional contact does occur, clean the plastic part with a sponge and mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For silver-accented plastic parts, wash with soap or other mild detergents. Wipe clean with a sponge or damp cloth. Do not use scouring pads, powdered cleaners, bleach, or cleaners containing bleach as these products can scratch and weaken the paint finish. Replace the base grille when finished.

Washer/Dryer Prep (if so equipped)

If your recreation vehicle was built with washer/dryer prep, be aware the cabinet space provided is intended for the installation of an aftermarket washer/dryer combo unit (customer supplied) only. Please consult your dealer or the manufacturer for installation assistance. A dryer vent opening must be cut into the sidewall of the RV if installing a dryer. A label has been installed to assist you in placing the vent in the correct location. The label will be located in the area where the dryer will be installed. Instructions on how to cut the dryer vent hole and how to install the dryer vent in the wall of the RV are included in your warranty packet.

WARNING
Gas dryers should NEVER be installed in your recreation vehicle. Dryer prep has been designed for electric dryer operation ONLY.

CAUTION
Do not operate a dryer in the recreation vehicle unless the dryer is properly vented.

Central Vacuum System (if so equipped)

The following is an overview of the central vacuum system operation. For detailed operating and safety instructions, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.
The central vacuum system installed cleans virtually any surface with no electric cords and has a variety of attachments for many cleaning needs. Make sure you have 120-volt AC power available before operating your central vacuum system (refer to Electrical Systems, calculating electrical load).
To operate the central vacuum system lift the vacuum cover, and attach your vacuum hose and cleaning attachment. The central vacuum will automatically activate. It has a large disposable bag that will need to be checked periodically and replaced after usage. The disposable bag is located inside the exterior cargo compartment.

WARNING
DO NOT PICK UP ANYTHING THAT IS BURNING OR SMOKING, SUCH AS CIGARETTES, MATCHES, OR HOT ASHES. RV damage, personal in-jury, or death may result from vacuuming up burning or smoking material. DO NOT PICK UP FLAMMABLE OR COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, OR USE IN AREAS WHERE THEY MAY BE PRESENT. RV damage, personal injury, or death may result from vacuuming up flammable or combustible material.

Outside Kitchen (if so equipped)

Typically outside kitchens consist of a 2-burner cooktop, refrigerator and sink. For detailed operation and safety information on the outside kitchen appliances, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide. The cooktop will function more efficiently when level.

WARNING
The maximum weight capacity of the outside kitchen unit is 50 lbs. Setting items on the kitchen unit that exceed this weight limit could cause damage to the unit or result in personal injury. Outside kitchen access and locking functions may vary depending on your model.

The following applies when using any outside kitchen configuration.

Make sure all supports are securely in place before using the outside kitchen.
Before using, make sure the propane connection is properly hooked up and secure.
Do not leave the cooktop unattended while using.
Keep all clothing and flammable material away from the cooktop while in use.
Do not exceed the weight capacity of the outside kitchen unit.
Disconnect the propane couple before stowing the outside kitchen unit.
Make sure the kitchen unit is properly stowed and secured, and that the outside kitchen door is securely in place and locked before traveling.

Attaching the “quick coupler” connection

The “quick coupler” is directly connected to the RV propane system. The “quick-coupler” connection has a positive shut-off valve as required by code and standards.

Place the “quick coupler handle in the OFF position and push back the sleeve. The valve handle must be OFF to make the connection.
Insert the plug and release the sleeve
Push the plug until the sleeve snaps forward, locking the plug into the socket.
Turn the handle ON to allow propane to flow to the drop-in stove.

LP Gas Grill (if so equipped)

Some models may include an LP-fueled BBQ grill in the outside kitchen. This grill is mounted in a pull out drawer. It has a single burner control. It attaches to the LP tank using a quick coupler connection as described above.

NOTE: A drip pan is included with the grill. The drip pan MUST be used underneath the grill to catch hot grease and liquids dripping from the grill and to prevent injury.

The drip pan attaches to tabs underneath the grill at each end. A handle is mounted in the middle of the drip pan to dump the contents. Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide for additional operating and safety details.

WARNING

The grill requires proper ventilation. It is designed for RV outdoor use only.
NEVER put lava rocks or charcoal or anything else on or under the grate. The grill is designed so it does not require those items. Serious injury or property damage can occur by placing foreign objects on the grate.
Never touch the grate when it is hot. Use the spade (grate handle) sup-plied with your grill.
Be sure to read, understand and follow all information supplied with your recreation vehicle concerning the use of propane before operating the BBQ grill. The propane hose must be correctly connected before lighting the grill. Failure to follow instructions supplied by the grill manufacturer, or use of any components other than those originally supplied with the grill, could result in death or serious injury.
If you smell gas: Shut off gas to the appliance; extinguish any open flame; open lid; if odor continues, immediately call you gas supplier or your fire department.
The BBQ grill is for use outside of the recreational vehicle. Never use this grill inside a compartment or inside of the recreational vehicle. Make sure the grill is pulled completely out of the drawer before attempt-ing to use it.
Install the drip pan under the grill to catch hot grease & liquids. Failure to use the drip pan can cause personal injury including burns from hot grease.
The BBQ grill must be COMPLETELY COOLED before storing it. The grill should be cool to the touch before storing. Storing the BBQ grill before it is completely cool may result in serious injury or property damage.
Do not cover the cooking surface with a dust cover, a lid, foil, cooking utensil or anything else. Covering the cooking surface can cause an un-safe situation and can lead to serious injury or property damage.

Cooktops, Range, and Oven (if so equipped)

For detailed operating and safety information, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide.

During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable material come in contact with the top burners or heating elements, burner grates or areas near the top burners or oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. These areas can get hot enough to cause burns.
Never leave cooking food unattended. Turn pan handles inward, but not over the tops of the other range burners. Ensure that the pans used are large enough to contain the food and avoid boil-overs. Heavy splattering or spills left on the cooktop can ignite and cause burns.
If using glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils or cookware verify it is safe for use on the top burners.
Do not cover the oven vent openings while the oven is in operation. Restricting the flow of combustion air will create an asphyxiation hazard.

Never use oven cleaners, chlorine bleach, ammonia, or glass cleaners with ammonia. Always allow the cooktop to cool before cleaning.

Cleaning instructions

Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide included for detailed cleaning instructions.

General Cleaning

To avoid damage and possible burns, be sure the appliance is off and all parts are cool before handling or cleaning.
Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
To prevent staining or discoloration, clean the appliance after each use.
If a part is removed, be sure it is correctly replaced.
If a spillover occurs while cooking, immediately clean the spill from the cooking area while it is hot to prevent a tough cleaning chore later. Using extreme care, wipe spill with a clean, dry towel.

Electric Drop-In Cooktops (if so equipped)

NOTE: Make sure you are connected to a 120-volt power source.

CAUTION
Do not use aluminum foil under any circumstances on the electric range cooktop, as this material will damage the cooktop surface if it melts.

Gas Drop-In Cooktops (if so equipped)

Depending on your model, it may be equipped with either a 2-burner or 3-burner cooktop. The 2 burners match-light cooktop has two 6500 BTU/H burners with a control panel. The 3-burner piezo-igniter cooktop has (1) front 9000 BTU/H burner and two rear 5200 BTU/H burners. The 3-burner cooktop is also equipped with a control panel. Refer to the manufacturer’s user guide for detailed operating and cleaning information.

Kitchen Range and Oven (if so equipped)

NOTE:
To help reduce potential condensation or unwanted cooking odors, turn on the overhead kitchen roof vent or the range hood vent (if so equipped).

To prevent damage, always use the manufacturer’s recommended size flat bottom pan(s). Generally, the pan should be large enough to cover the burner, but not be more than one inch larger than the burner grate. Do not use a broiler pan, griddle or any other large utensil that covers more than one burner at a time. This will create excessive heat that may cause melting, scooting, or discoloration. The use of undersized pans could expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of pans to burner will improve efficiency.

Oven (if so equipped)

The propane gas oven must have 12-volt power to operate. Do not use the oven as a storage area. If you have any questions, contact your dealer or our customer service department.

Gas BBQ Grill (if so equipped)

Be sure to read, understand and follow all information supplied with your recreation vehicle concerning the use of propane before operating the BBQ grill. The propane hose must be correctly connected before lighting the grill. Failure to follow instructions supplied by the grill manufacturer, or use of any components other than those originally supplied with the grill, could result in death or serious injury.
If you smell gas: Shut off gas to the appliance; extinguish any open flame; open lid; if odor continues, immediately call you gas supplier or your fire department.
The maximum weight limit for the bracket supporting your BBQ grill is 50 lbs. This limit includes the weight placed on the BBQ grill. Exceeding this weight limit could result in injury or property damage.
The BBQ grill is for use outside of the recreational vehicle. Never use this grill inside a compartment or inside of the recreational vehicle. Before operating the BBQ grill, make sure that it is securely mounted on the support rail attached to the side of the recreational vehicle (if so equipped) or the bumper mounting bracket (if so equipped).
The BBQ grill must be COMPLETELY COOLED before storing it. The grill should be cool to the touch before storing. Storing the BBQ grill before it is completely cool may result in serious injury or property damage.

CAUTION
Always open the hood before turning on gas and lighting burner, failure to open the hood before lighting could cause an explosion causing property damage, injury, or even death.

NOTE: This outdoor cooking warning label should not be removed from the RV.

Depending on your model, your grill will be mounted with either a bumper mount system or a rail mount on the side of your recreational vehicle.

Bumper Mount (if so equipped)

Your RV may be equipped with a rear bumper grill mount. There are several styles of bumper mounts, each one may be designed to fit a specific type of grill or RV. Refer to documentation supplied in your warranty packet or call Customer Service for mounting information.

Rail Mount (if so equipped)

Hang the grill bracket on the aluminum mounting strip located on the side of the recreation vehicle.
Open the (2) folding arms on the bracket making sure they lock in position.
Slide the grill onto the (2) arms against the stops. Make sure the grill is fully on the arms. Arms will slide into the “T” bracket on each side of the grill.
Insert the retaining pins into the arms.
To remove the grill, remove the retaining pins and simply slide them off the bracket arms. Wait until grill has cooled down before removing it.

Refer to the grill manufacturer’s user guide for detailed operating and safety information.

Gas BBQ Grill Prep (if so equipped)

Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with a propane “quick-coupler” connection and support bracket for easy installation of the BBQ grill.

Attaching the “Quick Coupler” Connection

The “quick coupler” is directly connected to the RV propane system. The “quick-coupler” connection is equipped with a positive shut-off valve. Place the “quick coupler handle in the OFF position and push back the sleeve. The valve handle must be OFF to make the connection.

Insert the plug and release the sleeve.
Push the plug until the sleeve snaps forward, locking the plug into the socket.
Turn the handle ON to allow propane to flow to the drop-in stove.

Range Hood (if so equipped)

If your recreational vehicle is equipped with a range hood, it will be connected to an exterior vent. The vent has an inner flap with two snaps. This flap can be snapped shut when the vehicle is in motion, or during storage to keep insects, debris, snow, rain, etc. from entering the recreational vehicle. Anytime the stove inside the recreational vehicle is being used, this flap MUST be unsnapped and the range hood turned ON to vent fumes outside the vehicle.

WARNING
Whenever the stove in the RV is being used, the range hood MUST be turned on, and the inner flap MUST be unsnapped and free to move. Failure to do so can create an asphyxiation hazard by restricting airflow to this vent.

Fifth Wheels Jayco

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Air Conditioner User Manual

Air Conditioner

Cooled air enters the RV through the grill. Make sure you have sufficient power available before operating the air conditioner. Do not operate the air conditioner without the return air filter. Operating the system without the filter allows the lint and dirt that is normally stopped by the filter to accumulate on the cooling coil of the air conditioner. This also will lead to a loss of air volume, possible equipment damage, and an expensive cleaning process.

Roof Mount (if so equipped)

A special foam gasket is placed between the roof material and the subframe of the air conditioner to guard against water leakage. The air conditioner is subjected to wind pressures along with motor vibration during normal operation. Inspect the mounting bolts for tightness to ensure there is no leakage or looseness at least annually. Re-tighten bolts when they are loose. DO NOT over-tighten these bolts as it may damage this gasket. The air conditioner gasket is a wearable part that eventually will need to be replaced. To gain access to the bolts, remove the filtered panel cover on central air systems or the entire air box on non-central air conditioners.

Wall Mount (if so equipped)

Keep the air inlet grill and cabinet clean by wiping with a cloth dampened with warm water and mild detergent.

Heat Pump Operation (if so equipped)

Set the thermostat for either electric or gas heat. On the electric setting, the heat pump will become the primary heat source as long as the interior temperature of the RV has not dropped 5° below the thermostat set point. If this occurs, the thermostat will automatically activate your gas furnace.
The furnace will continue as the heat source until the thermostat set point has been satisfied. At that point, the heat pump will again become the primary heat source. For RV models with a touchscreen system, the heating and cooling controls are included on the touchscreen selectable screens. For additional information refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual included in your warranty packet or consult your dealer.

Power Roof Vent (if so equipped)

The 12-volt DC attic fan (or powered roof vent) allows fresh air to circulate through the recreational vehicle. Do not leave the attic fan open when the recreational vehicle is stored or unattended for long periods. High winds, other unusual conditions or obstructions may prevent the dome from closing; the resulting leakage could cause non-warrantable damage. To use your fan most effectively, close all vents and slightly open a window on a shaded side of your recreation vehicle. You are directing the air flow by opening a window. The roof vent is can be controlled by either a control pad or touch screen (if so equipped) For additional safety and operating information, refer to the manufacturer’s manual.

Ceiling Fan (if so equipped)

WARNING
Be careful to avoid placing any object in the path of the ceiling fan blades. Turn the ceiling fan ON/OFF using a switch typically located on the wall, or in an overhead cabinet. The 3-speed ceiling fan is controlled by the pull chain switch. The sequence of operation for the pull chain switch is: OFF, High, Medium, Low, and OFF. The slide switch.(located on the fan) controls the direction of operation (down for forward, up for reverse). Stop the fan first before reversing the operation direction.

NOTE: During cooler temperatures, set your fan settings to “low,” and set the fan to turn clockwise to pull warm air from the ceiling back towards the floor. In the summer, the fan should turn counterclockwise to keep the air moving. For additional information refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual.

Furnace

The furnace installed in your recreation vehicle is controlled by a 12-volt DC thermostat. Depending on your model, there may be up to two thermostats enabling you to control the temperature to your comfort level. The furnace requires both 12-volt power and propane gas for full operation. Make sure you have sufficient power available before operating your furnace. A qualified RV technician should perform all furnace maintenance at least once a year (more often depending on furnace usage). Never attempt to repair the furnace yourself.

Ducting and Return Air

All heat discharges, registers, and return air grills must be free and clear of obstructions. This includes all closeable registers that are intended to reduce airflow, do not shut it off completely.

The furnace should be inspected periodically (monthly during the heating season) for presence of soot on the vent. Soot is formed whenever combustion is incomplete. This is a visual warning that the furnace is operating in an unsafe manner. If soot is observed on the vent, immediately shut the furnace OFF and contact a qualified service agency. Operating the furnace under this condition could lead to serious property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
To ensure your personal safety, do not obstruct or alter the furnace in any manner. Do not install screens over the vent for any reason. Screens will become restricted and cause unsafe furnace operation. For your safety, only the manufacturer’s factory-authorized parts should be used on your furnace.

NOTE: For RV models with touch screens, the furnace controls may be included on the selectable menu screens of the touch screen.

Fireplace (if so equipped)

Your recreational vehicle may include an electric fireplace insert. For detailed operating and safety information, refer to the manufacturer’s user guide included in your warranty packet.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Winterize with Air Pressure User Manual

Winterize with Air Pressure

This method uses compressed air to blow out any remaining water in the system after initially draining water lines using drain valves. Tools required would be an air compressor and a blowout plug.

WARNING
Before applying air pressure to the utility center, the (2) colored valves (GREEN and BLUE) MUST be set to 45° or damage may occur to the utility center.
Never apply air pressure to the water system with any of the valves in the closed position. Air pressure applied to a closed valve, faucet or low-point drain could potentially damage the seals and cause water leaks. If you have questions, consult your RV dealer. Using RV antifreeze is the preferred method of winterization.
Recommended air pressure is 30 PSI MAX. Exceeding this pressure may rupture water line couplings and void your warranty.

The water heater power should be OFF (ELECTRIC and GAS switches). The switches are located inside the RV at the Command Center panel.
The water heater bypass valve should be set to NORMAL. Lever pointing to the left as shown.
Level the RV and drain the fresh water tank, the tank (storage) water heater and the hot and cold water lines. Open all low-point drains and the fresh water tank drain. Faucets inside the RV should be opened to relieve pressure to allow water lines to drain. Refer to Draining the Fresh Water System section.
If your RV has a Spray Port on the outside of the trailer, this port should be drained at this time. Refer to Winterize the Spray Port section for the procedure.
Remove the drain plug from the tank (storage) water heater located outside the RV (Fig 1). DO NOT REMOVE THE DRAIN PLUG IF THE WATER HEATER IS HOT OR UNDER PRESSURE. RELEASE PRESSURE AND LET IT COOL DOWN.
The water filter should be removed for winterizing. See the Water Purification System section. Your RV may have one of two types of filters:
- Full System Canister Filter: Remove the canister lid, take out the filter, and then reattach the lid to the empty canister.
- Cartridge Water Filter: Remove the cartridge filter and replace it with a bypass hose (supplied with your RV).
- NOTE: Filters should be replaced at the beginning of the camping season or if they have been exposed to contaminated water, sanitizer or antifreeze.
Turn the (color) valve handles to the TANK FILL position.
- Green valve points left
- The blue valve points down
Low-point drains should be open to removing water from the lines.
Open all faucets in the RV. If there is an outside shower, attach the shower hose to the shower, and open the shower faucets. If there is a sink at the outside kitchen, open those faucets as well.
Run the water pump until the pump is dry (approximately 15 to 20 seconds). Do not operate the pump longer than that without water, it can damage the pump.
After the water is drained from the lines, turn the Green and Blue valves so they are at 45°.
Attach a blowout plug to the City Water Inlet on the utility center panel.
Attach the air hose to the blowout plug. Set the compressor to 30 PSI. Green and Blue valves must be set at 45° before applying air pressure 30 PSI Max.
Blow air into the utility center (30 PSI Max). Water lines should be clear in 5 to 10 minutes.
Turn off the air supply, remove air hose and blowout plug.
Close low-point drains, and replace the water heater drain plug.
Set the water heater bypass valve to the BYPASS position. The red lever points up.
Set the colored valves to the WINTERIZE positions.
- Green valve points left
- The blue valve points right
Pour 1 cup of RV antifreeze into any/all drain P traps (sinks and bathtub).
Wipe any RV antifreeze out of the sinks, shower (or tub), toilet, washing machine tub, and dishwasher tub with a soft, dry cloth.

Refer to the Utility Center manufacturer’s User Guide for additional operating information. Winterize the Black Tank Flush (if so equipped) – See the Black Tank Flush section. Winterize the Macerator system (if so equipped) – See the Macerator Pump System section.

Water Heater

Your RV may be equipped with either a tank (storage) water heater or a tankless water heater. The following is an overview of both systems.

Hydrogen gas may result if you have not used the water heater for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, open the hot water faucet for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, you may hear what sounds like air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. Hydrogen gas may be present even after the water has been drained from the water heater tank. Open the faucet at the sink and allow the system to vent for five to ten minutes. Do not smoke or have any open flame near the open faucet while venting. On DSI water heater models, make sure the switch is OFF.
Do not alter the operation or change the design/construction of your water heater. For your safety, only factory-authorized parts should be used on your water heater. Accessories marketed for recreation vehicles, such as an “add-on” electric heating elements, are not recommended by the manufacturer. Such items are not approved to be installed and could create an unsafe condition and will void all warranties.
If you smell propane gas then STOP! and follow the procedures listed in the Propane System Section before attempting to operate the water heater.

Tank (Storage Water Heater (if so equipped)

The water heater manufacturer has preset the sensing limit to maintain the water temperature when the water heater is activated. Read the safety and operating information in the manufacturer’s user guide before attempting to activate the water heater.

Gas/Electric DSI Tank (Storage) Water Heater System (if so equipped)

Make sure the water heater is filled with water before use as even momentary operation of the water heater without water in it may result in damage to the tank and/or controls. Always open both the hot and cold water faucets when filling the fresh water tank to allow air pockets to be forced out of the water heater. The thermostat on your water heater is not adjustable and is designed to maintain a water temperature of 130°F (54°C). The water heater does not have a pilot. It is equipped with an ignition device that automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.

Operating instructions

Turn OFF all electric power to the water heater.
Turn OFF the propane supply. Wait five minutes for the propane to clear the area. If you smell propane STOP! Follow the safety instructions listed in the manufacturer’s owner’s manual. If you do not smell propane, go to the next step.
Turn ON the propane supply.
Turn ON the electrical power to the water heater.
Turn the switch to the “ON” position. If the burner does not light, the system will automatically attempt two more tries for ignition before lock-out occurs. Each ignition cycle will have a 15-second purge before the spark cycle if the system is a three-try system.
If lock-out occurs before the main burner lights, turn the water heater control switch to OFF, wait five seconds and turn the switch to the ON position. This will restart the ignition cycle.
The first start-up of the heater may require several ignition cycles before all the air is purged from the propane lines.

If the burner will not come on, the following items should be checked before calling a service person:

See if the switch is turned OFF.
Make sure the propane supply to the water heater is not empty or turned OFF.
Check to see if the reset button on the water heater ECO is tripped.

Water Heater Switch (if so equipped)

The “propane GAS” switch enables propane operation of the water heater, and the “ELECTRIC” switch enables electric operation.

NOTE: Water heaters in some models will ONLY have a single LP Gas water heater switch. These units will not heat water electrically.

Water Heater Bypass (if so equipped)

Your RV may be equipped with a water heater bypass. This three-valve system is located at either the water heater or on the utility center panel depending on your model. For detailed information refer to the Utility Center or Fresh Water System sections.

The odor from the hot water system

Many water supplies contain sufficient amounts of sulfur to produce an odor, often called “sulfur water”. Sulfur water can be caused by chemical action or by bacteria. Generally, sulfur water is not harmful, only unpleasant to smell. Refer to the water heater manufacturer’s manual for details on eliminating the odor from sulfur water. The odor from sulfur water is not a service problem.

High altitude duration

Operation of the water heater at high altitudes may require derating. If the water heater is not properly derated, a lack of sufficient oxygen for combustion may produce improper burner operation. A pilot outage caused by burner lift-off or sooting from a yellow burner may occur, indicating the possibility of carbon monoxide. You may also notice a lack of efficiency in heating the water because of incomplete combustion of the burner at these higher altitudes. Consult with the local propane company, your dealer or the water heater manufacturer for proper derating of the water heater. Change out of the orifice (derating) should be done by the dealer or a qualified service agency.

NOTE:
It is important that once the RV has returned to a lower elevation (below 4500 feet) any high altitude duration or other adjustments be reversed for proper operation of the water heater.

Pressure and Temperature Relief Valve

WARNING
Do not place a valve between the pressure and temperature (P&T) valve and the tank. Do not remove or plug the relief valve under any circumstances. The temperature and pressure relief valve is designed to open if the temperature of the water within the heater reaches 120° F, or if the water pressure in the heater reaches 150 pounds. When this pressure is reached, the pressure relief valve will open and water will drip from the valve. This “weeping” or dripping will continue until the pressure is reduced to below 150 pounds, and the valve closes. This condition is normal and does not indicate a defective relief valve. One way to reduce the frequency of this occurrence is to maintain an air pocket at the top of the water heater tank. This air pocket will form in the tank by design; however, it will be reduced over time by the everyday use of your water heater.

To replenish this air pocket:

Turn off the water heater.
Turn off the cold water supply line.
Open a faucet in the RV.
Pull out the handle of the pressure relief (P&T) valve and allow water to flow from the valve until it stops.
Release the handle on the P&T valve – it should snap closed.
Close the faucet and turn on the cold water supply. As the tank fills, the air pocket will develop. Repeat this procedure as often as needed to reduce the frequency of the weeping P&T valve.

Maintenance

Do not allow the burner to burn with a yellow flame, or continue to operate the water heater with an improper burner flame. Periodically, inspect the water heater vent for soot. Soot is a sign of incomplete combustion and must be corrected before operating the water heater. This is your visual warning that the water heater is operating in an unsafe manner. If soot is present, immediately shut the unit down and contact your dealer or a qualified service agency. Periodically inspect the vent for obstructions. Do not terminate the vent on your water heater inside of add-on rooms, screen porches or patios. Doing so will result in products of combustion being vented into the rooms or occupied areas.

After filling the water tank, set the valves to either DRY CAMPING (which uses the water pump) or CITY WATER (which uses pressurized water) to send water through the plumbing system.

Winterizing the Plumbing System

Preparing your recreation vehicle for colder weather or storage is very important for most states and Canada. Failure to prepare your RV may cause water supply lines and the water heater to freeze. The RV should be winterized at the end of the camping season or when it will be exposed to temperatures that will fall at or below 32°F (0°C). Repairs due to freezing are not covered by warranty.

CAUTION
If the recreation vehicle is going to be stored in a non-temperature controlled environment with a risk of temperatures reaching 32°F (0°C) or lower, the plumbing system must be winterized with RV antifreeze. Repairs due to freezing are not covered under the terms of the Towable Limited Warranty. If you choose to perform the winterization process yourself, read and understand the following information before starting. It may be easier to winterize the RV with the aid of a second person.

NOTE: The winterization process may vary slightly due to different plumb-ing configurations between models.
Appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher or clothes washer) must be winterized. Refer to the appliance owner’s manual for additional information or contact your Dealer or Customer Service for assistance. The water heater must be drained to prevent damage from freezing. There is a separate water heater bypass valve at the utility center.
DO NOT DRAIN THE WATER HEATER WHILE IT IS HOT OR UNDER PRESSURE! Antifreeze should be kept out of the tank (storage) water heater.
NOTE: The preferred method to winterize your recreation vehicle is by using RV antifreeze in the plumbing system.

Winterize with ANTIFREEZE METHOD

WARNING
Automotive antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and windshield washer antifreeze (methanol) are poisonous. Never use these products in your freshwater system. These products are harmful and may be fatal if swallowed. Requires non-toxic RV antifreeze in the water lines and does not require any special tools. Use ONLY RV ANTIFREEZE in your freshwater system for freeze protection. No other product or commodity should be used. Antifreeze should never enter the water heater, RV water filter, refrigerator, refrigerator water filter, or freshwater tank.

Turn the water heater power OFF. The Gas and Electric switches inside the RV at the Command Center should be OFF. The water heater should never be drained when HOT or under pressure.
Level the RV and drain the freshwater plumbing system. Refer to Draining the Fresh Water System.
A water heater should be emptied after draining the plumbing system. The water heater bypass valve should be set to BYPASS.
Remove water filter:
- Cartridge Style: Replace the filter with the bypass tube supplied with the RV.
- Canister Style: Remove the lid, remove the filter, and replace the lid.
Make sure the “fresh water tank drain” and “low point drains” are closed. This includes the refrigerator/washer low point drains (if so equipped).
Set the colored valves to WINTERIZE setting:
- Green handle points left
- Blue handle points right
- The water heater bypass valve should be set to BYPASS. The red lever should be pointing up.
Attach a short hose to the SANITIZE/WINTERIZE inlet. Place the other end of the hose in a container of antifreeze. Do NOT use your fresh water hose for winterizing.
Turn the water pump ON with the pump switch on the utility center panel (LED indicator light will be lit if the pump has power). Antifreeze will be drawn into the water lines when a fixture in the RV is opened. To aid in siphoning, place the container approximately (2) feet off the ground. The drain valves must be closed.
Open the hot water faucets one at a time (kitchen/bath sinks, shower, outside shower, and an outside kitchen (if equipped) until RV antifreeze begins to flow continuously. Then close each faucet. Repeat with all the cold water line faucets (kitchen/bath sinks, shower, outside shower, and an outside kitchen (if equipped). Flush the toilet several times until you see antifreeze in the bowl,
When you are finished adding RV antifreeze:
Turn the water pump OFF with the switch on the utility center panel.
Remove the hose and container from the SANITIZE/WINTERIZE inlet. Put the cap back on the inlet. Leave the colored valves in WINTERIZE position.
The water heater bypass valve should remain in the BYPASS position.
Pour 1 cup of RV antifreeze into any/all drain P traps (sinks and bathtub).
Wipe any RV antifreeze out of the sinks, shower (or tub), toilet, washing machine tub, and dishwasher tub with a soft, dry cloth.
Contact your dealer if you require further assistance.

CAUTION

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Black Tank Flush User Manual

Black Tank Flush

The black tank flush (no fuss flush) inlet is typically located on the utility center panel (if so equipped) labeled as “Tank Flush”. For models not equipped with a utility center, the inlet is located on the side of the recreation vehicle. The location may vary depending on your model. Attach a garden hose (connected to a pressurized fresh water source) to the black tank flush inlet. The water goes directly into the black water holding tank sprayer connection, allowing you to remove debris and preventing accumulation. A check valve is incorporated in the plumbing lines to prevent back flow. Flush the black water tank each time the grey and black water holding tanks are dumped or as needed.

NOTE: Utility center (if so equipped) valve positions do not affect the tank flush function. It does not matter where they are positioned when operating the tank flush.
NOTE: To help insure debris does not clog the tank sprayer orifices, use “TANK FLUSH” every time the waste holding tank is emptied.

Dump the black water tank (see Gray Tank Drain & Black Tank Drain) and leave the black tank drain valve open.
Connect a garden hose from the water supply source to the black tank flush.
With the water source turned ON, flush the black water holding tank until the water running out of the black tank drain valve is clear (not discolored or cloudy).
Disconnect the garden hose and close the black tank drain valve. Fasten the sewer hose housing dust cap back on the tank flush inlet.

CAUTION

The black tank drain valve must be OPEN any time there is a hose (water supply) connected to the black tank flush.
Do not leave any hose (water supply) connected to the black tank flush when it is not in use.

WARNING
Do not use the same hose to fill your fresh (potable) water tank that is used for the black tank flush.

Winterize the Black Tank Flush

Black tank should be empty prior to winterizing.
Rinse the black tank prior to blowing it out with air.
Attach the 4” sewer hose to the dump connector under the RV.
Open the waste gate valve for the black tank (under the RV).
- NOTE: If the RV has a macerator system, you need to open the bypass valve for the macerator under the RV. This will allow the black tank to drain through the 4” sewer hose.
Attach a garden hose to the TANK FLUSH inlet at the utility center.
Attach the other end of the hose to a pressurized water source. Turn water on.
Flush tank until water appears clear in 4” sewer hose.
Turn off water, disconnect the hose from faucet, disconnect hose from tank flush.
Connect the blowout plug to the Black Tank Flush inlet at the utility center panel.
Colored valves have no effect on the black tank flush inlet.
Connect the air hose to the blowout plug. Set the compressor to 30 PSI maximum.

Blow air into the flush inlet for 30 to 60 seconds.
Disconnect the air hose, compressor and blowout plug.
Close the black tank drain gate valve and close the macerator bypass valve.

Draining the Spray Port

With fixtures and drain valves open in the RV to drain the water lines, connect the blue-coiled hose to the brass quick connect fitting at the Spray Port.

Remove the spray nozzle from the other end of the hose.
Hold the open end of the hose near the ground and any water in the line should drain out.
Disconnect the hose from the fitting, and store in the RV.
Close the port cover.

Winterizing the Spray Port with Antifreeze (if so equipped)

As you are putting antifreeze into the water lines, attach the hose to the Spray Port.
Have a container close by to capture antifreeze.
Pull the trigger on the spray nozzle until antifreeze comes out (into the container).
Release the nozzle and disconnect the hose from the port.
Rinse out the hose before storing it.

Tank Heaters (if so equipped)

Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with heaters for the fresh, gray, black water tanks and the water lines or drain lines. These heaters will prevent water in the tanks and lines from freezing down to -11°F (-24°C) (contingent on recreation vehicle setup). The larger tank heaters are 120VAC and attach directly to the tanks. The thermostat con-trolled tank heaters will cycle on at 44°F (7°C) and off at 64°F (18°C). Water line or drain line heaters are smaller and operate on +12VDC and will be attached to the water lines or drain lines. The +12VDC heaters stay on constantly. All of the heaters are controlled by a single ON/OFF switch that is typically located on the command center panel or in the bathroom. The switch lights up red when ON and controls the heater circuit.

CAUTION

In order for the 120VAC tank heaters to be in operation, the recreation vehicle MUST be hooked up to shore power or under generator power.
If the recreation vehicle is not operating on shore power or generator power, only the +12VDC heaters will operate. This can result in the tanks freezing.
The red light on the command center tank switch does not necessarily indicate that ALL heaters are operating; it is a only a warning that the heater circuit is ON.

The tank heater switch should be turned ON:

When liquid is present in the holding tanks and the outside temperature approach-es and maintains freezing conditions 35°F (2°C) or colder.

The tank heater switch should be turned OFF:

When there is NO liquid present (tanks are empty).
When dumping the black and gray holding tanks and the drain pipes.
When fresh water tank and supply lines are empty or being drained for storage.
When the recreation vehicle is connected to city sewer and the gate valves are open.
Free draining is never recommended, especially in cold weather use.
When ambient temperatures rise and remain above freezing.

No maintenance on the heaters is required, only a periodic inspection for loose wires, dam-age, etc. For additional detailed information, refer to the tank heater manufacturer’s user guide.

Toilet

Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly recommended to flush the toilet several times to release sufficient water into the holding tank. Generally, more water is required only when flushing solids.

CAUTION

It is important to prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the toilet manufacturer’s recommended instructions each time after emptying the black water holding tank.
To help prevent toilet blockage, always use RV grade single-ply toilet pa-per. Do not flush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or other foreign objects down the toilet.
Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals, such as laundry bleach or drain opening types, in the toilet system. These products dam-age the seals in toilets and dump valves.

The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after flush-ing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
If there is not a sufficient amount of water used during flushing, the waste materials may not evacuate properly from the drain line to the tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could eventually occur. For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is advisable to always have four to six inches (10 – 15 cm) of water in the toilet. It is important to add enough water to prevent solid waste buildup. The following guidelines will help to prevent solid waste buildup.
Sewage (black) tank preparation.

Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
Follow the directions on your (approved RV) toilet chemical bottle (customer sup-plied), by placing the recommended quantity of holding tank chemical into the toilet bowl.
Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the holding tank.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational efficiency. For detailed information refer to the manufacturer’s operator manual.

Spray Port (if so equipped)

Your RV may include a Spray Port on the exterior door side of the trailer. This Spray Port provides a way to rinse items off outside the RV. There are no faucets to control (cold only) water flow. Water flow is controlled by the pump if dry camping or city water if using pressurized water. There is a removable spray nozzle at the end of the coiled hose. The hose is typically stored under the bed.

Using the Spray Port

Connect the end of the blue coiled hose into the fitting on the Spray Port. It has a collar on the fitting which operates similar to an air hose fitting. Pull back the collar on the Spray Port fitting, insert the end of the hose into the collar and release. The hose locks into the fitting. With the water supply turned on, pull the trigger on the spray nozzle until you have the desire water flow. DO NOT USE THIS AS A POTABLE WATER SOURCE.
The water line supplying water to the sprayer must be drained if the RV is being transported, stored or if freezing weather is expect-ed. This water line can be winterized with RV antifreeze. Refer to Winterizing the Plumbing System for instructions on draining and winterizing the Spray Port.

Water Heater Bypass

The water heater bypass valve is typically located in the utility center compartment. It allows you to bypass the water heater when winterizing or sanitizing to avoid damage to the water heater. The valve has (2) positions NORMAL and BYPASS.

City Water Connection Inlet

Use a non-toxic drinking water hose dedicated only to supplying fresh water. To prevent contamination, keep the non-toxic drinking water hose from coming into contact with the ground. Install the city water connection inlet cap when the fresh water connection is not being used. The fresh water connection should be disconnected (i.e., the non-toxic drinking hose disconnected) when the recreation vehicle is unattended for any amount of time. If something would happen to the water system, this may help limit water damage to a smaller area.

WARNING
A check valve is located inside the city water connection inlet on the utility center. NEVER depress the check valve on the “CITY WATER CON-NECTION” inlet with pressure in the line. It will cause irreparable damage to the valve function and the inlet will leak water.

2-Valve Position and Routing Information:
Green Handle: Receives water from Sanitize/Winterize inlet on front panel. Sideways: Water goes from the inlet to the pump.
Down: Water goes to the freshwater tank.
Blue Handle: Receives water from the City Water Connection inlet on front panel. Sideways: Water goes to fixtures in the RV (cold).
Down: Water goes to or from the freshwater tank.

City Water (Pressurized fresh water source)

Connect the fresh water hose to the city water inlet.
Set the color coded valves to the CITY WATER setting:

Green handle pointing left
Blue handle pointing right
Water heater bypass lever – NORMAL.
Connect other end of the hose to the pressurized fresh water source.
Turn ON the pressurized water source.
Water should now be available to all fixtures in the RV.
To disconnect from city water, turn off water at the pressurized source first. Disconnect the hose from the water source, (to release pressure off the system) then disconnect the hose at the city water connection on utility center last.

Filling the Fresh Water Tank (Pressurized fresh water source)

Connect the fresh water hose to the CITY WATER inlet on the utility center.

to SANITIZE (Siphon Fill) section, and use a container holding fresh po-table water and your fresh water hose. Water will be drawn into the tank by the pump. There is no gravity fill inlet on the recreation vehicle.

Sanitizing the Plumbing System (with a storage tank water heater) When to sanitize

When your RV is new.
At the beginning and end of each season.
When the water system becomes contaminated or every three months of use.

Preparing to Sanitize

Prepare a chlorine solution using 1/4 cup of household bleach (sodium hypochlorite solution) to one gallon (3.785 liters) of water in a container. Prepare one gallon of solution for every 15 gallons of tank capacity. This will result in a residual chlorine concentration of 50 ppm in the water system.
If a 100-ppm concentration is required, use ½ cup of household bleach with one gallon of water to prepare the chlorine solution. One gallon of the solution should be used for each 15 gallon of tank capacity.

NOTE: Fresh water tank sizes vary by model. Contact your dealer or Customer Service for your specific tank size.

How to Sanitize

Turn water heater power OFF (both electric and LP gas on standard storage water heater). Set the colored valves to SANITIZE/WINTERIZE setting:
- Green valve pointing left
- Blue valve pointing down
- Set the red water heater bypass lever (located in the utility center compartment) to BYPASS. Red lever will be pointing up.
Level the recreation vehicle and drain the fresh water system (see Draining the Fresh Water System). Do not drain the water heater or remove the water heater drain plug.
Close the low point drain valves and the fresh water tank drain valve.
Remove and bypass the water filter:
- Full System Canister water filter (if so equipped):
  Turn water valves off at the canister. Remove the canister lid, take the filter out of the canister, then replace the lid and turn the water valves back on.
- Bypass the cartridge water filter (if so equipped):
  Use the clear plastic tube (supplied with RV) to bypass the water filter.
- NOTE:
  Filters should be replaced at the beginning of the camping season or if they have been exposed to contaminated water, sanitizer or antifreeze.
Attach a short section of garden hose to the SANITIZE/WINTERIZE inlet at the utility center. DO NOT use your fresh water hose for sanitizing.
Insert the other end of the short hose into a container holding the chlorine solution.
Turn the pump switch ON (red LED will light). The solution will be drawn into the fresh water tank. Turn the pump OFF when solution has been drawn into the tank. To aid in siphoning, set the container on a surface approximately (2) feet off the ground. The drain valves must be turned OFF.
Disconnect the short hose from the SANITIZE inlet. Leave the colored valves in the SANITIZE position.
Power Fill Water Tank Attach your fresh water hose to the CITY WATER inlet at the utility center. Connect the other end of the hose to a pressurized water source. Turn the water on and finish filling the water tank with fresh water. DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANK! Use the LED indicators on the tank monitor inside the RV at the Command Center panel to monitor water level in fresh water tank. Siphon Fill Water Tank If there is no pressurized water source available, fresh water can be siphoned into the water tank from an external container (bucket). Fresh water hose should be connected to the SANITIZE inlet, other end of the hose placed in the bucket of water. Colored valves should still be in SANITIZE position. Turn the pump ON and water will be siphoned into the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANK! Use the LED indicators on the tank monitor at the Command Center to monitor water level in fresh water tank.
When the tank is full, turn off the water source. Disconnect the hose from the faucet/spigot first. Then disconnect the hose from the utility center panel.
At this point the following conditions should be met:
- Power to the water heater is OFF. The water heater is set to bypass.
- Water filter has been bypassed or removed (depends on model).
- Sanitizer has been put into the tank.
- Water tank is full having been topped off with fresh water.
Set the valves to the DRY CAMPING setting.
- Green valve points down
- Blue valve points to the right
- Water Heater Bypass valve is still set to BYPASS.
Turn the water pump ON and sanitized water will flow into the water lines from the water tank (when a fixture is opened).
Open hot water faucets one by one until water begins to flow continuously and a chlo-rine smell is noticeable. Close hot water faucets. Repeat this process with the cold water faucets. Include outside shower faucets (if so equipped) and outside kitchen faucets as well (if so equipped).
Turn OFF the water pump.
Let the solution remain in the tank and lines for at least four hours when disinfecting with 50-PPM residual chlorine, and for at least one hour if using a 100-PPM chlorine concentration.
- NOTE:
  To thoroughly sanitize the fresh water tank, the unit should be driven around for a short distance allowing the solution to splash the sides and top of the tank.
After the required period, drain the chlorine solution from the fresh water system. Rinse the system with fresh water:
Fill the fresh water tank full of clean (potable) water. Use water either from a pressur-ized source, or from a container (as detailed below).
- Filling from a pressurized source: Attach your fresh water hose to the CITY WATER inlet at the utility center. Connect the other end of the hose to a pressur-ized water source. Colored valves should be in the TANK FILL position. Turn the water on and finish filling the water tank with fresh water. DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANK! Use the LED indicators on the tank monitor inside the RV at the Command Center panel to monitor water level in fresh water tank.
- Syphon filling from a water container: Fresh water hose should be connected to the SANITIZE inlet, other end of the hose placed in a bucket of water. Col-ored valves should be in SANITIZE position. Turn the pump ON and water will be siphoned into the tank. DO NOT OVERFILL THE TANK! Use the LED indicators on the tank monitor at the Command Center to monitor water level in fresh water tank.
Power to water heater should be OFF (electric and LP Gas switches on standard storage water heater). Water heater should still be bypassed.
When the fresh water tank is full, set the valves to the DRY CAMPING setting. Turn the pump ON to send water through the lines.
Run water through all faucets (hot and cold, including outside shower and outside kitchen) until chlorine smell is gone. Turn all faucets and outside shower off, turn pump OFF.
Drain the fresh water system again. If the RV has the full system canister water filter, remove the canister, reinstall the filter, and reattach the canister.
Refill the fresh water tank with fresh water again. Change the colored valve setting to DRY CAMPING, and change the water heater bypass setting to NORMAL. Turn the pump switch on sending water into the water line and fixtures. After the water heater is full, turn the water heater power ON. Water heater is full if you open a HOT water faucet and water comes out in a steady stream.

Lingering Chlorine Taste: If a chlorine taste lingers in the water, flush the water system with a solution consisting of one-quart vinegar to five gallons of clean water. Re-flush as necessary. Remove the canister water filter and bypass the water heater as the vinegar solution may damage the water heater or the water filter.

Set water heater bypass lever to BYPASS (pointing up).
Follow the steps outlined in Draining the Fresh Water System with one exception: do not drain the water heater. Do not remove the water heater drain plug.

Fifth Wheels Jayco

2023 Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels Fresh Water System

The 2023 Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels bring a whole new level of class and ease to the world of recreational vehicles, and the fresh water system is at the heart of this luxury experience. The fresh water system was made with the modern tourist in mind. Jayco’s dedication to innovation and quality is clear in every part of the system. The Eagle Fifth Wheel’s freshwater system is your key to comfort and independence, whether you’re going on a cross-country trip or just want to get away from it all in the middle of nature. This system makes sure you always have a steady supply of clean, drinkable water, no matter where your travels take you. It has large storage tanks, advanced tracking, and the option to add upgrades that meet your specific needs. Join us as we get into the details of this well-designed fresh water system, which is a key part of what makes the Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels the best RVs on the market.

Fresh Water System

All water contains contaminant and mineral particles that can cause fresh water system odors. Untreated well water is a major source of water system odors. The fresh water (potable water) system needs periodic sanitization to take care of all the components in the plumbing system to discourage the growth of bacteria and other organisms that can contaminate the water supply.

WARNING

DO NOT drink water deemed microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality.
Avoid traveling with full fresh, black or grey water holding tanks. The weight of holding tank contents in not calculated into the RV cargo car-trying capacity. Traveling with full tanks could cause you to exceed the individual tire ratings and/or the RV GAWR or GVWR. Traveling with full tanks can also affect your vehicle handling characteristics.

Do not remove the potable water label from your recreation vehicle. You should use a non-toxic drinking water hose dedicated only to supplying the recreation vehicle with fresh water. To reduce the chance of contamination, prevent the non-toxic drinking water hose from coming into contact with the ground.

NOTE: If needed, sanitize the water system prior to travel.

Water Pressure Regulator (customer supplied)

CAUTION
A water pressure regulator is recommended to prevent damage to the plumbing system or components. To prevent damage when using the city water connection, a 45 lb. (315 KPa) rated water pressure regulator is recommended. Excessive pressure from the water supply source may be encountered in some parks, especially in mountain regions when using the freshwater inlet or black tank flush. Water pressure regulators are available to protect your recreational vehicle’s plumbing system against such high pressure.

Fresh Water Holding Tank

Do not cap, block or modify the fresh water tank overflow tubes in any way. Enough water pressure can build up during the filling process to damage the plumbing system if the overflow tubes are obstructed.
Be careful not to overfill the freshwater holding tank. It can pressurize the tank, causing leakage and water damage and void the warranty. DO NOT leave the tank unattended while filling.

There may be several ways to fill the freshwater tank depending on the model. For details of each method, refer to the Utility Center or Water Connection section. There are plastic overflow tubes in the freshwater holding tank which allow water to flow out of the water tank. Occasionally, you may see water coming from the overflow tubes when the freshwater holding tank is filled. This is normal and can be a result of the recreation vehicle being parked on an incline, or the motion caused by starting or stopping during travel.

12-volt Water Pump

There must be sufficient 12-volt DC power to run the water pump when your recreation vehicle is not hooked up to city water. Once activated, the water pump (also known as the demand pump) will self-prime, and provide water. The water pump continues to run until maximum pressure is achieved and shut off. The water pump will automatically restart when it senses a drop in the water pressure. The pump is designed for intermittent use only. Using the pump continuously or with high pressure will shorten the life of the pump and is not covered in your warranty. Some cycling may occur, depending on the volume of water being released. The water pump is engineered with a check valve to prevent water from back flowing into the freshwater supply tank.

NOTE: The water pump switches should be in the OFF position when the recreation vehicle is left unattended for any amount of time.

Maintenance

Periodically check the in-line water pump strainer for accumulated debris. To clean, shut off the water pump, unscrew the clear cap, remove the re-useable metal strainer, clear any debris, then reinstall. Normal pump maintenance consists of checking and cleaning of the strainer, normal sanitizing and winterizing and occasionally checking all plumbing hardware and fittings for tightness. Lack of sanitizing can lead to premature pump failure and poor performance over time. Scale build-up on the diaphragm and valves, can cause low flow and leak back (occasional pump cycling with no faucets open or tank filling up when hooked up to city water). For additional information on the care and operation of the pump, read the safety and operating information in the pump manufacturer’s owner’s manual.

Water Pump Switch

Most water pump switches illuminate when the water pump is activated. Typical switch locations are in the back of the unit or on the monitor panel, or the switch may be art of a touchscreen system (if so equipped). When the water pump switch is ON the pump runs until 45 lbs. of pressure has been achieved. The red light will stay on.

Draining The Fresh Water System

Water tanks may be drained through a valve located near the tank. A recreational vehicle with a demand pressure pump system will have low-point drains attached to the water lines (normally located near the water tank). These low-point drains will release water in the supply lines by opening the valves and all faucets. The water heater has its own drain plug.

To drain the permanent fresh water holding tank and supply lines:

Turn the water heater power OFF (turn off the electric and LP gas switches).
Open all faucets, including the outside shower faucet (if so equipped).
Open the “fresh tank drain” valve. Methods to drain the freshwater tank may vary by model. Fresh water tanks can be drained by one of the following methods:
A white plastic drain is attached to the exterior wall.

Exterior Fresh Water Drain

A valve located inside the RV adjacent to the water tank (turn 45° to open or close).
Pull the white “T” handle on the fresh water holding tank to drain the water.
Low point drains are installed at the lowest point of the water lines. A label is placed on the outside of the RV to indicate where
the drains are located. The type of drain may vary by model. You will have either an interior or exterior drain.
Interior drains: the drains will need to be operated from inside the RV. Once the label is found on the exterior sidewall, the drains will be found at a corresponding location in the interior.
Exterior drains: Open the “low point drains” by removing the black screw on caps on the water lines (coming out from the underbelly). The drains will typically need to be opened from outside the RV.
Drain the sink by removing the drain cap.
Turn ON the water pump and allow it to run as needed.
Open all faucets, including the outside shower faucet. Make sure the “water heater bypass” valve is open.
Operate the toilet flush lever until water stops flowing.
If the RV water heater has bypass valves, set them to the BYPASS configuration (refer to the Water Heater Bypass section).
Relieve the water pressure using the P&T valve BEFORE removing the water heater drain plug. If there is any water pressure present, the water will spray out of the opening when the drain plug is removed.

It is normal for some liquid to remain in the fresh water tank after drainage procedure. When you are finished draining the fresh water system, reverse these steps and, dump the grey and black water holding tanks at an appropriate facility or according to local public codes.

Utility Center (P2.5) (if so equipped)

The Utility Center is located in an exterior compartment and allows you to perform the following functions:

Power fill the fresh water tank for remote or dry camping
Use the pump to supply water to fixtures from the fresh water tank
Use the pump to siphon fill or sanitize the fresh water tank from a bucket
Connect to city water at the camp site to supply water to RV fixtures
Winterize the plumbing lines and fixtures
Rinse the black tank to help control odors and prevent waste buildup
Connect up to (3) coax lines with SAT, CABLE and AUX
- SAT input is wired only to the wall plate for the satellite receiver.
- CABLE input is wired only to the wall faceplate at the main TV. The face-plate can switch between CABLE and the outside HDTV antenna (Refer to Section 11 Antenna System).
- AUX input is wired to wall faceplates of any other secondary TVs in the RV (i.e. bedroom or exterior). This AUX input is designed for use with an outdoor portable satellite dish system mounted on a tripod.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Monitor Panel User Manual

Monitor Panel

Monitor panel locations may vary by model. Typical locations are on the command center panel, on an interior wall, or on the exterior utility center. Some models may be equipped with a touchscreen system that monitors tank levels electronically. The monitor panel allows you to monitor the fresh water, grey water, black water and auxiliary battery levels. These functions are controlled using the tact switches. It operates on 12-volt DC power supplied by either the converter or auxiliary battery. No power is drawn from the battery unless a switch is pushed or turned ON. Fuses for the monitor panel are located in the load center. Refer to the manufacturer’s operator’s manual for additional information.

NOTE:
If your RV has secondary black or gray tanks, there may be an additional tank monitor. It is typically labeled as a convenience center.

Operation
Press only one tact switch at a time. As you push either the FRESH, BLK GREY1, or GREY2 switch, one or more LED lights will illuminate (from left to right) indicating the content level for that tank. When pushing the “BATT” switch, the LED lights illuminate from left (lowest) to right (highest) to indicate the estimated auxiliary battery condition.

NOTE:
When using shore power all (4) LEDs will light. If disconnected from shore power, (3) LEDs will light to indicate a full charge (4th LED may blink).

The LEDs on the panel indicate the following:

C= Charge at 12.7 volts
G = Good at 12.1 volts
F = Fair at 11.6 volts
L = Low at 6.0 volts

Tank monitors on the touch screen have a constant readout. There are no buttons to push. Tank levels are displayed by percentage from 0% to FULL.
Level Alert Button (if so equipped): some models may be equipped with a Level Alert Button. When this LED flashes a tank requires attention. To silence the alarm press the level alert button.

Water pump switch (if so equipped)

This switch may be located on the monitor panel, the utility center, or both. On some models, the water pump control may be on one of the selectable screens for the touch screen. When the water pump switch is ON (lit), the water pump will run until it reaches 45 lbs. of pressure. It will recycle when pressure drops. Turn the switch OFF when the water pump is not being used.

Water heater switch(s) (if so equipped)

These switches can be located on the monitor panel, the command center, or in the case of a touch screen system, on one of the selectable screens of the touch screen. Switches will light up when turned on. The “LP GAS” water heater switch (12V) enables the propane operation of the water heater, and the “ELECTRIC switch (120V) enables the electric operation of the water heater. Normally both switches should be turned on to provide the fastest hot water recovery time. The water heater can be operated in electric-only or gas-only modes by pressing each switch independently. If the RV is equipped with a tankless water heater, there will be only an LP Gas switch on the command center panel.

DSI FLT – Direct Spark Ignition Fault (if so equipped)

This light located between the water heater switches will indicate a problem with the LP portion of the water heater. When the LP GAS switch is turned on, the light will blink quickly 3 times and the water heater will ignite. The light will then remain off. If the light comes on and stays on, it indicates the gas side of the water heater has not fired and there is a problem with the igniter.

NOTE: This light will not appear on touchscreens, RV remote controls or on a Wi-Fi app, only on the Command Center switch panel.

Press only one tact switch at a time. As you push either the FRESH, BLK GREY1, or GREY2 switch, one or more LED lights will illuminate (from left to right) indicating the content level for that tank. When pushing the “BATT” switch, the LED lights illuminate from left (lowest) to right (highest) to indicate the estimated auxiliary battery condition. Tank monitors on the touch screen have a constant readout. There are no buttons to push. Tank levels are displayed by percentage from 0% to FULL.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Using Propane System User Manual

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Using the Propane System User Manual

Using the Propane System

Use the following steps for propane operation:

Close ALL burner valves, controls and pilot light valves.
Open the main valve in the propane tank slowly to avoid a rush of propane vapor through the excess flow valve, causing propane “freeze-up.” Should you experience propane “freeze-up”, close the main valve and wait 15 minutes before trying again.
Listen carefully as propane begins to flow. If a hissing noise is heard for more than one or two seconds, close the main valve and contact your dealer to have the propane system tested.
Light the appliances as needed and directed in the appliance manufacturer’s owner manual located in the Warranty Packet.

Keep the propane container valves closed at all times unless you are using the propane gas system or are having the propane container filled.
Make sure that you read and fully understand ALL safety requirements for handling and operation of the propane system.
The propane system must be handled with care. If you have any questions or concerns, consult with your dealer and/or the specific appliance manufacturer.
If you have double cylinders on your recreation vehicle, use only one at a time. Otherwise, the propane supply will be drawn equally from both cylinders until the supply has been to-tally exhausted. Using one cylinder until it is empty and then using the second cylinder will allow you to fill the empty cylinder at your convenience without running out of propane.

Cooking With Propane Gas

Warning

Do not turn gas range burner controls to ON and allow gas to escape before lighting.
Do not use portable fuel-burning equipment (i.e., wood and charcoal grills or stoves) inside the recreation vehicle.

Unlike homes, the amount of oxygen supply is limited due to the size of the recreation vehicle. Proper ventilation when using the cooking appliance(s) will help avoid the danger of asphyxiation. It is especially important that cooking appliances not be used for comfort heating, as the danger of asphyxiation is greater when the appliance is used for long periods of time.

FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
These warning labels are located in the cooking area to remind the user to provide an adequate supply of fresh air for combustion.

Calculating Propane Gas Usage

Most RV gas appliances are operated intermittently, and each has a different BTU rating. You will need to consider this when planning your propane supply and consumption. Unless there is heavy use of hot water, the water heater consumption of propane is minimal. During cool temperatures or high wind conditions, furnace consumption can be extremely high. To calculate your propane supply, take the BTU ratings for your propane appliances and divide that into the BTU availability. Each gallon of propane gas (3.785 liters) produces about 91,500 BTUs (96,528 kilojoules) of heat energy.

Propane consumption chart

The following chart provides average propane consumption information.

Traveling With Propane

NOTE:
Some states prohibit propane appliance operation during travel, especially in underground tunnels. Know the laws for the areas where you travel.

Danger
All pilot lights, appliances and their igniters (see operating instructions) should be turned off before refueling of motor fuel tanks and/or propane containers.
These can cause ignition of flammable vapors, which can lead to a fire or explosion.

FAILURE TO COMPLY COULD RESULT IN FIRE, DEATH OR SERI-OUS INJURY.

Use care when fueling your motor fuel tanks and/or propane containers. Make certain your propane tank is properly fastened in place.

Installing Propane Cylinder(s)

Single Cylinder Mounted On A-Frame (if so equipped)

Connect the 3/8” low pressure hose to the outlet of the two stage regulator.
Attach the regulator with the “Z” bracket on the center of the front wall with the vent pointing down.
Attach the protective plastic cover to the regulator.
The regulator has a 90° elbow that directs the inlet toward the trailer curbside.
Place the cylinder on the bracket provided on the
frame and position it so the outlet of the cylinder valve is pointed directly outward to the curbside wall.
Attach the 1/4” inverted flare x 24” Type 1 pigtail hose to the regulator inlet and the right-hand swivel nut to the cylinder valve.
Secure the cylinder to the A-frame bracket using the bolts, nuts, and washers provided.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Propane Regulator User Manual

Propane Regulator

Warning
Propane regulators must always be installed with the regulator vent facing downward. Regulators that are not located in baggage compartments have been equipped with a protective cover. Make sure the regulator vent faces downward and (if applicable) the cover is in place to minimize vent blockage that could result in excessive gas pressure causing fire or explosion.

Single stage regulator

Some models are equipped with a single-stage regulator.

Two-stage regulator

The two-stage regulator has the only moving components in the propane system. Its sole function is to reduce the pressure from the propane containers to a safe and consistent low operating pressure. The first stage reduces the container pressure to 10-13 lbs. The second stage reduces the 10-13 lbs. of pressure further to an operating pressure of 11” W.C. (water column) or 6.35 oz. of outlet pressure to your appliances. The second stage is adjustable and will need to be adjusted by your dealer or qualified pro-pane service technician for optimum performance (this adjustment should always be made with a properly calibrated manometer).
If the pressure is too high, it affects performance and safety; if the pressure is too low, your appliances will not operate correctly.
If your recreation vehicle is equipped with the “automatic” two-stage regulator, with both cylinders full of propane, turn the lever on the regulator towards the cylinder you wish to use first. This will now be the “supply” cylinder and the other the “reserve”. Slowly open both cylinder valves. The indicator on top of the regulator will turn bright green. When the cylinder becomes empty, the indicator will change to bright orange. Now turn the regulatory lever to the side of the “reserve” cylinder and the green signal should return. You may now remove the empty cylinder to have it refilled without interrupting the flow from the full bottle. After filling the cylinder, connect the pigtail hose and slowly open the bottle valve. Refer to the manufacturer’s information included in your warranty packet and follow all safety instructions and warnings listed.

Propane Use and Safety

Propane is a colorless and odorless gas that, in its liquefied state, resembles water. An odorant (usually a sulfur compound) is added as a warning agent. If you smell propane within the vehicle, quickly and carefully perform the procedure listed on the propane system label. This label has been placed in the vehicle near the range for models equipped with a propane system. When a propane container is low, there may be a concentration of an onion or garlic-like odor, which can be mistaken for a propane gas leak. After the propane container has been refueled, the odor will usually disappear. If not, turn off the valve(s) and have the propane system inspected by your dealer or qualified propane service representative.

Propane Leak Test

Leaks may be found easily with a soapy water solution. Do not use a solution containing ammonia or chlorine when locating leaks. These products are corrosive to copper gas lines and brass fittings, which could result in the deterioration of the copper and brass components. Apply the soapy solution to the outside of the gas piping fittings. If a leak is present, the soapy solution will “bubble” at the leak point. If a leak is indicated, shut off the propane system valve(s) and contact your dealer or qualified propane service representative immediately.

Danger
Never use an open flame to test for a propane leak. Do not check for leaks using products that contain ammonia or chlorine; these products can cause cracks to form on the metal tubing and brass fittings.

When the cylinder becomes empty, the indicator will change to bright orange. Now turn the regulatory lever to the side of the “reserve” cylinder and the green signal should return. You may now remove the empty cylinder to have it refilled without interrupting the flow from the full bottle. After filling the cylinder, connect the pigtail hose and slowly open the bottle valve. Refer to the manufacturer’s information included in your warranty packet and follow all safety instructions and warnings listed.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Fuel and Propane System User Manual

Fuel and Propane System

Warning

DOT propane cylinders must be transported and stored in an upright position so the pressure relief device will function properly. Laying a DOT propane cylinder on its side may potentially create a very dangerous situation.
The pigtail hose must be installed to avoid tension or pulling stress at either end of the hose. Keep the pigtail hose away from sharp edges of the cylinder collar, rigid corners, walls, doors or other compartment structures including the cover.
Before entering a propane or fuel service station make sure all pilot lights are extinguished. Shut off the gas to all appliances by closing the propane gas main shut-off valve. Always shut OFF any engine before refueling. Do not smoke and do not operate other ignition sources while refueling.
If you suspect your propane container has been overfilled, contact your dealer or a qualified propane technician for assistance immediately. Do not attempt to service a propane container overfill yourself.

Propane “container” is a general all-inclusive term used to describe a vessel that is used for storage and delivery of propane gas.

The most common of these are:
DOT (Department of Transportation) cylinders are transportable and are commonly used on recreation vehicles. The capacity of DOT propane cylinders is expressed in pounds. DOT propane cylinders are required to be removed from the RV for filling and must be filled by weight by a qualified propane facility. DOT Propane cylinders are equipped with an OPD (over fill protection device) designed to reduce the potential of overfilling. DOT propane cylinders are also equipped with an ACME service valve that is for connection of the TYPE 1 ACME pigtail hose assembly to the RV two-stage regulator.
The TYPE 1 ACME pigtail hose assembly is a wrench less, right hand threaded connector that features a thermally sensitive sleeve and excess flow device. Max output is 200,000 BTU/hr. It is used to connect propane cylinders to regulators, hoses and other fittings. It is not for use on gas grills and other low pressure devices. DOT cylinders equipped with an OPD and ACME type 1 service valve are identified by the triangular service valve knob.
DOT cylinders are typically marked with “top” or an arrow to indicate the correct orientation of the cylinder(s). Do not mount, store or transport any cylinder other than the in proper position indicated. Be sure to securely re-install DOT cylinder(s) after they have been removed for filling or replacement. Always close the service valve and install a dust cap or plug when transporting or storing disconnected containers whether full or empty.

ASME tanks are permanently mounted to the RV and are commonly used on RV motorhomes. The capacity of ASME tanks is expressed in gallons. ASME tanks are filled while the tank is attached to the motorhome by a qualified propane facility. ASME tanks are equipped with an automatic stop fill valve designed to reduce the potential of overfilling. ASME propane tanks are also equipped with a P.O.L. service valve that is for connection of the supply hose with a left hand threaded brass P.O.L. fitting from the tank service valve to the two-stage regulator. Not for use on gas grills and other low pressure devices.

NOTE:
Tanks are to be installed, fueled and maintained in accordance to State and Local codes, rules, regulations or laws.

Propane is a true gas compressed into a liquid form. As the fuel is released from the container, it changes to vapor which is then used for the operation of the appliances. Propane will not run through the appliances in a liquid state. Propane expands 1½ percent for every ten degrees of increase in temperature. It is imperative to leave sufficient space inside the container to allow for the natural expansion of gas during warmer weather.

The main shut-off valve must be kept closed at all times unless you are using the propane system or filling the propane cylinder. When the cylinder is disconnected from the hose, install the valve cover that is attached to the container. Close the propane cylinder main shut-off valve by hand tightening only. Use of tools create to over-tighten the valve (damaging the interior seals on the cylinder valve seat). If this type of damage occurs, the cylinder will not close properly.

This propane label should be kept permanently affixed to your RV. “Use propane only” Label.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Auxiliary Battery User Manual

Auxiliary Battery

Do not store anything inside the battery compartment(s) or near the batteries that could touch the battery or battery cable terminals. Contact with the battery or battery cable terminals could cause an electrical short circuit, discharge the batteries, or start an electrical fire.
Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away from the batteries as the hydrogen gas they create may explode. Do not connect a booster battery or other power source that outputs more than 14.2-volts DC to lead acid or AGM batteries. Use adequate ventilation when charging or using batteries in an enclosed space. Remove metal jewelry and always wear eye protection when working around batteries.
Do not allow battery electrolyte (acid) to come into contact with skin, eyes, fabric or painted surfaces. Electrolyte is a sulfuric acid solution that could cause serious personal injury or property damage. If your hands, eyes, clothes or the painted surface of your motor home are exposed to electrolyte, flush the exposed area thoroughly with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, immediately flush them thoroughly with water and get prompt medical attention.

The combined 12-volt DC loads in your recreation vehicle can become more than the power converter is able to produce. This demand can be met by using an auxiliary battery for a limited period of time. The 12-volt system is designed for usage with a Group 27 or 31, deep cycle battery.

Dry camping

The auxiliary battery should be fully charged prior to dry camping. If the auxiliary battery is not being recharged and power is being drawn from it, it will eventually discharge. Plan your electrical usage accordingly. You can test the auxiliary battery voltage using a volt-ohm meter (customer supplied).
A fully charged lead acid or AGM auxiliary battery will read 12.7 volts DC and 1.265 spe-cific gravity at 80°F (32°C). The auxiliary battery is considered discharged at 10.89 volts, and dead at 10.65 volts. If the voltage drops below those levels, irreversible damage can occur. Typically, a deep cycle battery has an amp-hour rating of 75-100 amps.
If you run the furnace and refrigerator simultaneously, you will be using approximately (12.0 + 3.0) 15.0 amps per hour. This does not include any 12-volt lights, or any other 12-volt component. If the furnace and refrigerator in this example operated constantly, a 75 amp-hour battery would become fully discharged in 5 hours.
The auxiliary battery should be installed in parallel with the battery in your tow vehicle. When the 7-way trailer plug is connected, both batteries power the RV. Do not allow it to discharge your tow vehicle battery below the level required to start the engine. To prevent this from occurring, disconnect the 7-way trailer plug or install a battery isolator. When the tow vehicle engine is operating with the RV connected, the tow vehicle charging system will charge both batteries.

Replacement and maintenance

Some equipment in your RV will draw small amounts of current even when turned OFF. To prevent the auxiliary battery from being discharged when your RV is not connected to shore line power, disconnect the auxiliary battery negative cable at the battery. During storage, it is important to check the voltage monthly and recharge the auxiliary battery as needed. If you remove the auxiliary battery from your RV, store it in a dry, cool area per the manufacturer’s instructions.
When it is time to replace the auxiliary battery, Group 27 or Group 31 true deep cycle batteries are recommended to increase run time of electrical components while dry camping (operating solely on battery power). Do not reverse the positive and negative battery cables (doing so will blow the reverse polar-ity fuse(s) that protect the power converter).

For more information
Please contact the battery manufacturer for additional information on the auxiliary batteries. Battery Isolator For Your Tow Vehicle (customer supplied)
You may want to consider the installation of a battery isolator on your tow vehicle as a convenience feature: It receives current from the tow vehicle alternator and controls the distribution of energy to both the RV auxiliary battery and the tow vehicle battery. It serves as a check valve to prevent energy from being drawn from your tow vehicle chassis battery (so you can start your tow vehicle engine). Your dealer can assist you with the selection, purchase and installation.

DC to DC Power Converter (customer supplied)

If installing lithium batteries in the recreation vehicle, install a DC to DC power converter between the tow vehicle battery charge line and the trailer lithium battery(s) to prevent lithium battery damage.

Battery Disconnect Switch (if so equipped)

The Battery Disconnect switch is typically located in an enclosed exterior compartment. The style of the disconnect switch may vary per model. This switch does not shut off all power, but only shuts off the 12VDC power to the main 12V fuse panel, and the interior of the vehicle. Batteries can still be trickle charged by the converter, and there will still be power to some devices.

Rotating Dial Disconnect Switch

When this switch is ON, there will be a green area showing a “1” along the top of the switch. To turn the switch OFF, turn it counter-clockwise until you see the red area along the left side of the switch showing a “0” (zero).

Lever Type Disconnect Switch

To operate this switch, turn the lever counter-clockwise to turn off all 12VDC power to the fuse panel in the RV. The lever can be removed and is equipped with a lanyard to keep the key from getting lost.

Load Center

The Load Center contains 12VDC fuses and 120VAC circuit breakers for almost all of the electrical appliances and circuits in the RV. The 120V main breaker may be located in this panel and will turn off all 120-volt power to the RV. Load center location, appearance and configuration may vary by model. Refer to the diagram inside the load center for specific fuse assignments. Motor homes may have separate small panels for breakers and fuses. They are normally located in close proximity to each other type in the bed platform. The converter is mounted separately, typically under the bed platform.

120-Volt Circuit Breakers

The 120-volt AC circuit breakers located inside the load center protect all 120-volt wiring and components from circuit overloads and short circuits. Should a circuit overload or short circuit occur the circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit will “trip” preventing the flow of electricity through that circuit.
If a circuit breaker trips, shut off the appliance on that circuit (i.e., power converter, etc.) and allow the circuit breaker to cool down for a brief period of time. After it cools down, reset the circuit breaker by moving its lever “off” and then back to the “on” position. If the circuit breaker re-trips or frequently trips, contact your dealer to have the electrical problem diagnosed and repaired. A circuit breaker identification label is permanently attached to the inside surface of the 120-volt Load Center.

CAUTION
Circuit breakers and fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical system in the event of power surge or voltage spike.

Replacement
Only replace circuit breakers with those of the same specified type, voltage, and current rating. Never replace a circuit breaker with one listed at a higher amperage rating. Please contact your dealer for repair assistance when replacing circuit breakers.

WARNING
Replacement circuit breakers must be of the same voltage, amperage rating and type. Never use a higher rated replacement circuit breaker; doing so may cause a fire by overheating the RV wiring.

Maintenance
At the beginning of the camping season, inspect the circuit breakers and replace as needed. Test by turning each circuit breaker “off” and back “on”. Circuit breakers are wearable parts and must be replaced as needed as part of your RV maintenance. If you have any questions, contact your dealer. A label is provided to explain the function of every 120-volt circuit breaker. This label is located on or near the appropriate load center or sub-panel and must remain permanently affixed to the recreation vehicle.

2023 Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels Power Converter Instruction

The power converter in the 2023 Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels is an important part of modern RV living. It combines ease of use and functionality in a way that makes it an efficient and reliable way to handle power. The power converter was made to connect external AC power sources to the internal DC electrical system. It acts as a key link, allowing 120V AC power from shore lines or generators to be changed into the needed 12V DC power. This converted energy is important not only for charging the batteries on board, but also for providing the current needed to power the RV’s DC appliances, lights, and entertainment systems. As a key part of the RV’s electrical system, the power converter shows Jayco’s commitment to improving the camping experience as a whole by making sure there is a steady supply of power and letting travelers enjoy all the comforts and conveniences of home while on the road. With its smart design and reliable operation, the power converter is an important ally that allows travelers to set out on their journeys with the peace of mind that their mobile home is well-equipped and running well.

Power Converter

The power converter converts 120-volt AC power to usable 12-volt DC power when the shore power cord is connected to an external power source.
The converter has a built-in protective thermal breaker that will shut it down should overheating occur. Overheating can be caused by operating the converter above its maximum power output for an extended period of time, or by an obstruction to its ventilation airflow. To reduce converter heat build keep unnecessary 12-volt lights and motors turned off. Keep the converter cooling fins and fan clear of obstructions.

USE ONLY A DEEP-CYCLE BATTERY FOR RV USE. Car batteries (CCA rating) are not designed for RV applications.
If using multiple batteries they must be the same brand and type. Adding more batteries will provide longer use of DC appliances when not on shore power but may reduce charging efficiency.
The battery works in conjunction with the converter to supply DC power to the RV. A battery is typically only necessary if you do a lot of dry camping or have slide-outs and/or a leveling system.
A reverse polarity fuse provides protection for the converter when a battery is used. If the battery is connected back to the fuse board this fuse would blow pre-venting damage to the converter.
Dimming or flickering lights usually indicates an overloaded converter. Remove some of the load by turning off DC lights or appliances.
Fan is controlled by load. It will begin running at 3 to 6 amp DC draw. It increases in speed with a higher load until 14 to 15 amps. The fan is at maximum speed and stays there even with more load. If the load drops below 6 amps DC, the fan shuts off.

CAUTION

It is important that the fluid level of any connected batteries be checked on a regular basis. All batteries will “gas” and lose some fluid when continuously connected to any charging source (does not apply to “gel-cell” batteries). Before checking for converter output voltage, the battery cables must be disconnected at the battery. Make sure the converter is plugged into an AC source (105-132 AC volts). Check the converter output voltage at the battery with a voltmeter. Place the voltmeter probes on the disconnected battery cables. If the voltage reads 13.6VDC with no load, the converter is functioning properly. If the converter output voltage at the battery reads in the 0.0VDC range, or the battery is not charging, check for:

An open inline fuse in the battery wire
An open wire between the converter and the RV battery
Loose ground connection
Improper torques

If the converter fuses and AC voltage are good, but the converter output still reads zero volts, the converter is not functioning properly.

Modes of Operation

Absorption (Normal) Mode: 13.6VDC range. Batteries are being charged, just at a slower rate. The converter will not work without AC input.
Float Trickle Mode: To get your converter into this mode, reduce the load on the system to almost nothing but the battery. Let the system sit for approximately 44 hours.
The converter voltage will drop to 13.2VDC. If the converter sees any load during this period or after it is in Float Mode it will revert back to Absorption (Normal) Mode. 13.6VDC.
Bulk Mode: The converter will not jump into the Bulk Mode unless the battery is below 50% of charge, or approximately below 13.2VDC output voltage. There is no way to force it to go into Bulk Mode. Red LED indicates a blown fuse.

Inspection and maintenance

If the 12-volt power converter is not working (auxiliary battery not being charged) check the reverse polarity fuse(s) located on the end of the converter.
There are no customer-serviceable parts inside the converter case and the manufacturer’s warranty will be void if the case has been removed. If you have further concerns contact your dealer. For detailed safety and operating information, refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual.

Converter w/Charge Wizard (if so equipped)
Some converters may be equipped with a charge wizard There are (3) possible charging modes; NORMAL, BOOST, and STORAGE. The charge wizard will automatically select the best mode to charge your battery. A green LED next to the wizard mode button will indicate by flashes, which mode is currently being used.
Normal Mode: Green LED flashes once per second; battery is between 50% and 90% charged. flashes 2-3 times per second; the battery is 90% charged. Output voltage is 13.6VDC and the converter is safely completing the charge of the battery.
Boost Mode: Green LED is on solid. The output voltage is 14.4VDC to rapidly charge the battery up to 90% of full charge.
Storage Mode: Green LED flashes every 6-8 seconds. The output voltage has been reduced to 13.2VDC; the RV battery is fully charged and converter is maintaining the charge.
Manual Mode (not recommended): The manual mode button is used to override the charge wizard. Refer to the converter owner’s manual for additional information.

Reverse Battery Protection:

Reverse polarity fuse(s) provide protection for the converter when a battery is used. If the battery is connected backwards to the fuse board a fuse will blow preventing damage to the converter. Four easily accessible fuses are located next to the wizard button. Replace with fuses of the same type and rating.
12-Volt DC System. The majority of your recreation vehicle lighting is powered by 12-volt electricity. The 12-volt DC system is composed of components that will operate when the following conditions are met:

Power is supplied by the tow vehicle alternator when the engine is running and the
7- way the trailer plug is connected. This powers the RV’s running lights, brake lights, turn signals and brakes. In addition, the 7-way trailer plug provides a common ground and a 12-volt charge line to charge the auxiliary battery.
The converter will supply interior 12-volt DC power when the power cord is plugged into campground power. The converter will also charge the RV battery in most situations. (Refer to Battery Disconnect)
The auxiliary battery powers many interior 12-volt components including the lighting fixtures, water pump, 12-volt motors, 12-volt appliances, etc. It also powers the breakaway switch.

12-Volt Fuse Panel

WARNING
Replacement fuses must be of the same voltage, amperage rating, and type. Never use a higher-rated replacement fuse; doing so may cause a fire by overheating the RV wiring.

The 12-volt fuse panel is labeled to indicate fuse sizes, positions, and the components powered. Fuses are located in the load center.

Replacing a Fuse
Before replacing a fuse, always turn off the electrical components protected by it.

Disconnect the shore power cord.
Turn “off” the inverter (if so equipped).
Disconnect the house or auxiliary batteries main negative battery cable.
Remove the fuse panel cover to check fuses.
Pull the fuse straight out of the fuse block.
Insert a new fuse of the same specified voltage, amperage rating and type in the original location.

The fuse panel label should be kept permanently affixed to your recreation vehicle. Fuses will not offer complete protection of the electrical system in the event of a power surge or spike.

12-Volt DC Outlet

There may be one or more 12-volt DC power outlets in your recreation vehicle. When the 12-volt DC outlet is used as a power source for an electric appliance, make sure the appliance operates on 12-volt DC power and that it consumes less than 60 watts (5 amps) of power.

WARNING
Keep the protective dust cap on the 12-volt DC outlet when not in use to prevent ingestion of foreign material and potentially short circuit conditions.

Fifth Wheels Jayco

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Solar Package User Manual

Solar Package

CAUTION
If expanding upon OEM installed solar package, ensure all components are compatible with an existing product. Any additional equipment will reduce Car-go Carrying Capacity (CCC) when installed. Your recreational vehicle may be equipped with a factory-installed solar panel kit that includes lithium batteries, a DC/DC power converter (allows charging from the tow vehicle connection.), Solar Panels, and an energy management control system. For care and operation, please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions provided with your RV. Never connect your tow vehicle harness to a recreation vehicle equipped with a lithium battery without a DC/DC power converter installed. Direct tow vehicle charging may cause permanent damage to the lithium battery unless the vehicle charge line is properly voltage regulated or disconnected.

Adding solar panels or equipment will affect the carrying capacity of your recreation vehicle. Vehicle weight ratings should be considered before adding these components. Your recreation vehicle may be wired with a (exterior) plug-in that will allow the batteries to be trickle charged using a free-standing solar panel. In most models, the solar panel kit is a customer-purchased and installed option. The solar plug location will vary by model, but may be located on the exterior sidewall, on the A-frame of the RV, in the outside utility center, or mounted up on the roof. There are capped-off wires located in the area of the battery. These wires are the battery charging wires. Once these wires are properly connected to your battery, you will then be able to plug the solar panel into the charging port.

Solar System

When the system is connected properly, the solar panel will supply power to the battery, the battery will supply power to the converter, and the converter will supply power to all the 12V systems as needed.

Replacing Lighting

Replacement lighting must be the same type, voltage, and wattage listed on the lamp fixture. Use of incorrectly sized replacements can overload lamp circuits and may create a fire hazard by overheating the fixture.

Exhaust Gas Fumes

WARNING

Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they contain carbon monoxide, which is a potentially toxic gas that is colorless and odorless.
If you are in a recreation vehicle with either a nearby tow vehicle engine running or the generator (if so equipped) running there is a potential for exhaust fumes to filter back into the recreation vehicle.

To avoid breathing exhaust gases, follow these precautions:

Always shut OFF the tow vehicle engine, generator engine (if applicable), etc., while refueling.
Do not run the tow vehicle engine, generator engine (if applicable), etc., in confined areas, such as a closed garage, any longer than needed to move your RV in or out of the area.
Windows should be closed while driving or running the generator (if so equipped) to avoid drawing dangerous exhaust gases into the RV.
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the RV have the cause determined and corrected as soon as possible.

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the RV is a properly maintained ventilation system and an active carbon monoxide detector. To allow for proper operation of the RV ventilation system, keep the ventilation inlet grill(s) clear of snow, leaves, or other obstructions at all times.
See the Occupant Safety section of this manual for additional information on carbon monoxide safety.

Propane Gas System

Propane or LP (liquefied petroleum) gas is an efficient form of energy when proper handling and safety precautions are observed. The propane system in your furnishes the fuel for cooking, heating, and hot water and can be an alternative energy source for refrigeration. Propane is heavier than air; and tends to flow to lower areas and will sometimes pocket in these low areas, such as the floor. Your recreation vehicle is equipped with a propane alarm (refer to the Safety Precaution section, Combination Carbon Monoxide (CO)/Propane Alarm).

WARNING
Propane cylinders should not be placed or stored inside RV. LP-gas cylinders are equipped with safety devices that relieve pressure by discharging gas into the atmosphere.

The propane fuel system is comprised of numerous components such as the propane container, hoses, the propane gas regulator, piping and copper tubing to each appliance. Although your recreation vehicle has been carefully tested at the factory, and by your selling dealer for leakage, travel vibrations can loosen fittings. Have the propane system checked at all connections soon after the purchase of your recreation vehicle, and after the initial filling of the propane tanks. Continued periodic checks of the propane system at 5,000 miles of travel (or at least once a year), by a qualified propane service representative as part of your normal maintenance is recommended. Hand-tighten the LP gas system valves only, do not use a wrench or pliers as over-tightening may damage the valve seals and cause them to leak.

NOTE:
All propane lines have been checked with air pressure at the time of manufacture. Dealers are required to recheck and adjust pressure before retail delivery.

Jayco Eagle Fifth Wheels 2023 Power Gear Ram Slideout System User Manual

Power Gear Ram Slideout System

Manual Override Procedure

The system has been equipped with 3/4” hex override couplers located on the drive component of the system. Due to the size and weight of some rooms, assistance may be needed to push the room in.

Use the following steps to mechanically operate the room.

Locate the ABS motor access cover for the slideout.
This cover will be located inside one of the storage compartments under the slide room up at the top of the compartment.
Remove (4) screws holding the panel to the top of the compartment. Remove the cover.
Unplug the motor leads at the connector. Gray connector with red and black wires.
To release the motor brake you must depress the spring lock lever, which then allows you to pivot the brake lever, which in turn releases the brake. These parts are located inside the rubber boot wire tied over the motor. You must manipulate these parts without removing the rubber boot. As noted on the side-by-side photo, removing this boot will void your motor warranty. These photos will help you figure out how this works. The side-by-side photo (below) shows the spring lock lever and the brake lever.
The spring lock lever is a thin metal arm with a slight bend at the end, which will hold the brake lever in the released position.
The brake lever is the heavier thicker metal arm with the hole in the end.
The normal position for these two levers is to be parallel to each other as shown in the first side-by-side photo.
The motor brake is engaged with levers side by side.
The brake lever is moveable; the spring lock lever is not moveable. To release the brake lever, you must push the bent end of the spring lock lever away from the brake lever; this will allow you to pivot the brake lever so it moves over on top of the spring lock lever. The bent end will hold the brake lever in the released position. (photo shows this “bend”).
Once the brake motor is released, you will need to re- move the skirting on the side of the slideout floor where the hex override is located.
Use a ratchet with a 3/4” socket (or wrench) to turn the hex override and manually move the slideout.
When the slideout is retracted, check to make sure you have a good seal, and re- place the skirting on the slideout.
Return the brake release lever back to the “engaged” position (parallel to the spring lock lever). Pressing the bent end of the spring lock lever will allow the brake lever to be moved.
Plug the motor connector back in again.
Replace the plastic motor cover with the (4) screws removed previously.
Take the unit to an authorized dealer for service.

For further information, refer to the manufacturer’s owner’s manual.

The Electrical System

The RV electrical system is comprised of two independent electrical systems. One operates off of 12-volt DC power and the other off of 120-volt 60hz AC power. All installations have been made in compliance with industry standards applicable on the date of manufacture. Because the electrical equipment and associated circuitry are engineered into a dedicated system specific to your RV, do not make unauthorized changes or add fixed appliances to it. Changes or additions made after delivery may result in a hazardous condition. Service and/or modification of the electrical system should only be performed by qualified electrical technicians using approved materials, components, and methods meeting current safety and code requirements. Consult your dealer’s service department for assistance. To read more about the various components incorporated into the RV electrical system, please refer to the information contained in your Warranty Packet. For motorized vehicles, consult the Chassis Guide for information pertaining to the chassis drivetrain electrical system.

Electrical System Maintenance

Before working on the electrical system:

Make sure the inverter/charger (if so equipped) is turned “off” before disconnecting batteries. Disconnect the shore power cord.
If equipped with a generator, turn off the generator and disable the automatic generator start functionality.
Turn off the battery disconnect switch (if so equipped).
Turn off the 120V main circuit breaker.
Disconnect the negative 12VDC battery terminal from the battery.

Warning
Use caution when using metal tools. If a tool contacts a battery terminal or metal connected to it, a short circuit could occur which could cause personal injury, explosion or fire.
