Flushing Your Black Waste
Holding Tank
The black waste holding tank is equipped with
an internal spray head that allows you to rinse the
inside of the tank with a shower of clean water
after dumping.

If the valve is left open, the liquids will drain off,
leaving solids in the tank. Should this
accidentally happen, disconnect the hose, fill the
tank about half full with water, and drive a few
