also referred to as the "black" waste holding tank. Certain floor plans may also have the
lavatory draining into the waste (black) tank.
WASTE (BLACK) TANK PREPARATION
3. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
4. Follow the directions on your toilet chemical bottle, by placing the recommended
quantity of holding tank chemical into the bowl.
5. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the
tank.
Caution: It is important to add enough water to prevent solid waste build up. Follow
these directions each time after emptying your holding tank, except when
winterizing.
GRAY WATER HOLDING TANK
No special preparation is required, however, placing a small quantity of chemicals into this
tank, such as baking soda or an approved RV chemical, will reduce odors from food
particles in the system.
Heated Holding Tanks
With the heated tank option, a pad will be glued to the exterior bottom side of the holding
tank. Heat is supplied by 12-volt DC power through the heating element built into the pad.
Approximately 6-amps of energy per pad is consumed and fused through the 12-volt power
supply board. Switches to turn heat pads on or off are located on an interior wall in or near
the bathroom.
Power to heating pads should be turned off until:
1. Water is in the holding tank.
2. Temperature drops to 32° (0° C).
3. Motorhome is parked, set up and all attachments performed.
.
NOTE: Turn heat pads off when dumping and draining tanks.
An internal thermostat is built into components of the heat pad to assist in energy
conservation.
