Your motorhome is equipped with one holding tank for both the drain water
and sewage.
At one time it was thought two tanks were better, figuring
the drain water could be dumped on the ground.
As more and more states
tighten the laws in this area it became apparent one larger tank with more
capacity was a valid choice in lieu of two small tanks.
CAUTION:
Never put wet strength paper towels or tissues
in
your holding tank since
they won't dissolve and can "catch" in the mechanism of the dump valve.
Colored toilet tissue
is
slower to dissolve than white.
Most RV accessory
stores offer tissue designed for RVs that will completely dissolve.

form.
These not only combat odor, but stimulate the bacteria that works to

Almost all campground will have dumping facilities.
Park directories such as
Woodalls and Rand McNally also list dumping stations.
To empty the tank attach the sewer hose by pressing the bayonet fitting
onto the dump valve outlet and rotate clockwise until it feels solid and
secure.
Attach the outlet end of the hose to the sewage outlet, making
sure that the hose is placed so it will drain completely.
Pull the dump valve handle as far as it will go and wait until the tank is
drained.
The holding tank must be flushed out until all paper and waste
material is removed.
Close the dump valve and refill the tank with clean
water and repeat until clean.
Replace the cap prior to traveling.
