PLUMBING & BATH FEATURES
BLACK WATER HOLDING TANK
The "black water" (i.e., sewage) holding tank is located directly beneath the toilet. Before using the toilet,
you will need to treat the tank with water that is mixed with an odor-controlling chemical. These chemicals
are readily available at any RV supply store. Pull the toilet levers forward to allow the chemicals to mix
with the toilet water. Continue pulling the toilet levers until a depth of at least one inch of solution is
directly under the toilet. Release the levers and the waste tank is now ready for use.
GRAY WATER HOLDING TANK
The gray-water holding tank is located in the underbelly of the vehicle. It is primarily used for the drainage
from the kitchen and bath sinks and the shower.
P-TRAPS
Each of the sink drains and the shower drain
has a water trap (P-trap) to prevent holding-tank odors
from entering the vehicle. These traps must have water
in them to trap odors. When the vehicle is in motion, the
water may splash out of the sink and shower drains.
When the vehicle is stored, the water may evaporate
from these traps allowing odors to enter the vehicle. If
this occurs, run water from the faucet into the drain,
allowing water to fill the traps again.
