Class A
Important "Don'ts"
•
Don't use facial tissue or regular toilet tissue in
the RV toilet. These will not disintegrate
sufficiently and will often cling to the sides of
the holding tank. Toilet tissue made
specifically for use in RV toilets and holding
tanks is available at most RV supply centers.
•
Don't dispose of sanitary napkins or other
non-dissolving items in the toilet.
•
Don't put automotive antifreeze or caustic
chemicals, such as laundry bleach or heavy
detergents into the toilet or holding tank.
These products may damage plastic or rubber
parts in the system.
Cleaning the Toilet
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for
maximum sanitation and operating efficiency. If
an odor is apparent from the toilet:
1. Clean the toilet bowl with a mild bathroom
cleaner. Do not allow cleaners to sit in the
bowl for long periods of time to avoid
damaging the seals. Do not use caustic or
abrasive cleaners because it may damage the
plastic surfaces.
2. Dump and rinse holding tank.
3. Add odor control chemical in amount
specified after cleaning and every few days
during use.
4. Remove the water line from the base of the
toilet and clean the screen.
5. If the flush valve becomes stiff after extended
use, it may be lubricated with a silicone
spray.Turn the water pump off and operate
flush pedal to drain water from the toilet bowl.
Spray silicone lubricant onto flush valve
inside bowl and operate flush pedal a few
times to ensure free operation.
See winterizing instructions at the end of this
section to prepare the toilet for storage in freezing
conditions.

WASTER 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 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 Section for your
model.
Holding Tank Dump Valves
(typical
NOTE:The dump valve drain outlet section
swivels downward when necessary to
avoid bends in the drain hose which
could trap solids while dumping. It will
also provide more direct drainage while
using on-site sewer hook-ups.
Dumping Holding Tanks
1. Remove drain hose from exterior storage
compartment.
2. Remove dust cap from drain and connect
sewer hose. Be sure it is firmly attached.
3. Place the outlet end of sewer hose into
disposal opening.
