PLUMBING & BATH FEATURES
Always drain the tank into an acceptable sewer inlet or dump station. Whenever possible, drain both the
holding tanks prior to traveling. The carrying capacity of your
vehicle will be reduced if water is left in the black or gray tanks.
The holding tanks should only be drained when they are at least
¾ full. Doing this will provide a sufficient volume of water to
allow the complete flushing of waste materials in the drain lines
and hose. If the tanks are not ¾ full, add enough water to allow
for sufficient flushing.
To empty the wastewater tanks, connect the adapter, supplied with your vehicle, to the drain hose. Unscrew
the cap from the drain. Connect the hose, with the adapter in place, to the drain fitting. Open the gate valve
completely by pulling on the T-handle. The tank will start to drain as soon as the T-handle is pulled. After you
have drained the black-water tank, immediately drain the gray-water tank. This procedure helps to flush the
black water from the sewage hose. When both the tanks are empty, flush them with a freshwater rinse before
you close the valves. The gray tanks are easily flushed by pouring a couple of gallons of water into a sink drain.
The drain outlet is engineered for quick release of the drain hose adapter. Always close the gate valves and
secure the end cap to prevent leakage while the vehicle is in transit.
After draining the black water tank, it is recommended to add a holding tank deodorant to help control the odor
and break down the solids. Follow the instructions given on the holding tank deodorant package.
SEWER CONNECTION AND CAMPING
While using the motorhome, it is important to keep the black-water holding-tank gate valve closed at all times,
except when dumping. This allows an ample amount of liquid to remain in the tank to provide a smooth flow
through the gate and drain valves when dumping. Sufficient liquid in the tank causes a swirling action that
should take any accumulated solid wastes with it. Accumulation of solid wastes in the black water tank can be
avoided by keeping the gate valve closed when connected to the sewer connection. The gray tank can be kept
open while hooked to a sewer connection.
NOTE: When dumping, it is suggested to dump the black tank first, then the gray.
NO FUSS FLUSH
This vehicle may be equipped with a flushing system for the black-water holding tank. When draining your
sewer tank, attach a water hose to the sewer spray connection. After the tank is drained, leave the gate valve
“open” and open the water valve to allow water to spray inside the black-water tank. This will clean the inside
of the tank of any debris that may be left inside the tank. After this procedure is done, disconnect the
freshwater hose and close the gate valve.
