information.

DRAINAGE SYSTEM (P-TRAPS)

Ensure there is an adequate amount of water in
the drainage system p-traps to avoid sewer odor
from entering your coach.
If you should experience a sewer odor, pour
approximately 1 cup of water down each sink and
shower drain in the coach.
Washer/Dryer
-If Equipped
In addition to pouring water down sink and
shower drains, also run a wash cycle to ensure
there is an adequate amount of water in the
washer p-trap.

WASTE WATER SYSTEM

(Holding Tanks)
The drainage system is self-contained and
uses two separate holding tanks to contain the
waste water until it can be dumped at an
appropriate waste water disposal site. This means
you can use the toilet, sinks, and shower even in
areas where utility hookups are not available.
The black water holding tank contains the
sewage from the toilet(s) and may include
bathroom lavatory on some models. The gray
water holding tank contains the waste water from
the galley sink and shower, and may include
bathroom lavatory.
See "Specifications" in Section 1 -
Introduction for tank capacities for your model.
Dumping Holding Tanks
Your coach is equipped with a sewage drain
hose, which in certain models, may feature a
convenient handle and valve nozzle for sanitary
handling and improved waste disposal (not
available on Model 34Y).
The sewage drain hose is located in the water
service center.

1. Remove the dust cap from the sewage drain
outlet and connect the sewage drain hose. Be
sure it is firmly attached.
NOTE: The sewage drain outlet swivels
downward when necessary to avoid
bends in the sewage drain hose, which
could trap solids while dumping or to
provide more direct drainage while using
on-site sewer hook-ups.
2. Push the handle forward to open the sewage
drain hose end valve, then extend the hose and
place the nozzle into the disposal opening.
NOTE: This feature is not available on Model
34Y. Therefore, simply place the outlet
end of the sewage drain hose into
disposal opening on such model and
proceed to Step 3.
