Need help identifying connections..

In this picture you can see cable, satellite and black tank flush (white), the battery disconnect (silver push button, upper right)

But what are the black nobs and what looks like hose connection? Dealer never mentioned them, not in any documentation that I received.

Anyone know?

The H and C letters on the knob are clues that they are the hot and cold knobs for your outdoor shower. Somewhere you should have a water hose (coil maybe) with a quick connect end which connects to the "hose connection". Did you happen to ask the dealer what all these things are? Dealer should have known.

Inside the pass through basement drivers side there are hot/cold valves with a short length of hose (not a coil) but was told I would need to add the outdoor shower. Never thought to ask during PDI, felt a little foolish (still do) to ask now.

So, this is right next to the basement where the hose and H/C valves are located, so I guess I just have to discover how to hook it up and where to get the shower hose/head. Curious that the connection looks like a water IN connector and not OUT like on other hoses.

Also seems silly to me that there are electric/electronic connections in the same box as both the blacktank flush and this outdoor shower. Water and electric don't mix, would think they would be separated with the water connections below the electric stuff.

My Wildcat has a BAL NGX drop frame so I have more room for what some call my control panel.

Like most quick connects (you might have one for propane for a grill), it has an outside spring loaded collar which must be pushed back while the little fitting is inserted then pulled forward to seal the connection.

Your quick connect might be different.

Thanks Mr. Dan. Going to have to open things up to find out how to connect the water.

No, there is a hot/cold line in the basement right next to where these shower connections are. The hose is not connected. I'll have to run the hose through the wall and make the connection to this outlet myself.

Looks to me like the quick connect for the outside shower is between the two valves. Mine is like that on my Crusader. You should have a coiled hose with the other side of the quick connect and a threaded connection for a hose valve.

Nope no hose came with the unit, nor any connectors. Looks also like the water is not connected to the outside shower

Without the quick disconnect connected, water will not come out when you open the valves
