Using On-Site Sewer Hook-Ups
The sewage drain hose may remain attached to
the sewage drain outlet and be routed out the flip-
down hatch in the bottom of the compartment
while the motor home is parked and connected to
an on-site sewage hook-up.
The center outlet section may be swiveled
downward for better hose alignment and
drainage.
NOTE: Always keep service access passage
closed while utility connection is not in
use.
When using a sewer hook-up, keep the Black
and Gray Waste Tank Drain valves closed until a
tank becomes full or when preparing to leave the
site. This keeps the solids in suspension, allowing
them to be carried out with the liquids when the
dump valve is opened.
7-12
If the valve is left open, the liquids will drain
off, leaving solids in the tank. Should this
accidentally happen, disconnect the sewage drain
hose, fill the tank about half full with water, and
drive a few miles to dislodge the solids. A few
starts and stops will aid in the process. Then
reconnect the sewage drain hose and drain in the
normal manner.
Holding Tank Level Indicators

WATERLINE AND TANK DRAIN
VALVES
The water drain valves are used to drain water
from the water tank and the water supply lines
when preparing the motor home for storage or
when sanitizing the water system.
The waterline and tank drain valves are
located inside driver and passenger side
compartments (see the Water System Drain
Valve Locations Chart at the end of this section
for locations on your model).
