Residential Stools (Resort Model Only)

Prior to transit, remove tank lid and place in safe location. Flush toilet to empty tank.

Using Toilet and Tank System

Note: For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is
advisable to always have four to six inches (10-15 cm) of water in the toilet.
Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly recommended to flush the toilet
several times and release sufficient water into the tank. If there is not a sufficient
amount of water used during flushing, waste materials may not evacuate properly
from the drain line to the tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could eventually occur.
When camping you should always have four to six inches (10-15 cm) of water in the
toilet bowl. The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen
seconds after flushing to ensure waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank. Unlike your
toilet at home which uses four to seven gallons (18-32 liters) of water per flush, the
average recreation vehicle system uses one to three quarts (1-3 liters).
When hooking up to the sewer drain line at a campground, keep the termination valve on
the waste tank CLOSED until the tank is at least 3/4 full. This will provide sufficient
water to assist in complete draining of the tank. At this time, open the termination valve
to empty the tank and close the valve when the tank is empty. Repeat this process as
needed, but NEVER leave the termination valve open when hooked up to the park's
sewer system.

Vents

Another important part of the sanitation system are the vents which release air from
tanks. Each tank has a vent pipe built into the travel trailer through the cabinet, wall and
roof. A vent cap is attached to the roof and must be clear of obstructions to perform as
intended. On some models the vent pipe may be part of the drainage system referred to as
a "wet vent." This means water flows downward as air flows upward in the same pipe.

Holding Tanks

The final part of your system are the holding tanks. They hold waste and are located
below the floor of your coach. Bath tub and sinks drain into the waste water tank, also
referred to as the "gray" water holding tank. The toilet drains into the sewage holding
tank, also referred to as the waste holding tank. Certain floor plans may also have the
lavatory draining into the waste (sewage) tank.
SEWAGE TANK PREPARATION
1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Following the directions on your toilet chemical bottle by placing the recommended
quantity of holding tank chemical into the bowl.
3. 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.
