General Information

Waste Water System

The main parts of the waste water system are the toilet,
holding tanks, and tank dump valves;
Waste System on page 9-8� The system is designed
to provide complete self-contained toilet facilities, while
on the road or parked, without being connected to a
sewage line� It may also be used when parked while
connected to a sewage hose�
Keep the dump valves closed with either method and
empty the tanks when they are nearly full� The idea is
to send a large volume of water through the tanks and
hose at the same time to float solids away.
After the sewage tank has been emptied, close the
dump valves and charge the tank by putting a few
gallons of water in the sewage holding tank using
the black tank flush inlet. This will spray the interior
of the tank with water and help prevent solids from
building up in the sewage holding tank� The addition
of a deodorizing agent like Aqua-Kem will help prevent
odors�
Should you ever have a buildup of solids, close the
valves, fill the tanks about 3/4 full with fresh water,
drive a distance to agitate the solids, and drain the
tanks�

Things Not to Put into Toilet or Drains
