Before using the toilet, treat the sewage holding tank with water mixed
with an odor-controlling chemical. These chemicals are readily available at
most RV supply stores. Pour the chemicals into the holding tank through the
toilet. Add approximately three gallons of water to the holding tank first. Next,
mix the chemicals, in accordance with the manufacturer instructions, with
approximately one gallon of water. Pour mixture through toilet to the holding
tank. Be careful not to spill the chemical on your hands, clothing, toilet bowl
or carpet as it can cause a permanent stain. Extremely hot weather areas may
require adjusted amounts of chemical to help with odor control. Repeat the
chemical pre-charge to the holding tank each time the tank is cycled.
CAUTION: Do not use any products that contain petroleum
distillate or ammonia in place of RV odor controlling chemical.
Petroleum distillates or ammonia will damage the ABS plastic
holding tanks and seals.
The grey water waste tank stores the sink, shower and clothes washer drain
water. No chemical is required in this holding tank; however, a waste holding
tank can produce odors. A reduced mixture of chemicals can help with odor
control.
Ensure that there is enough liquid in the holding tanks prior to dumping the
waste holding tanks. This provides a smooth flow through the valve, drain pipe
and drain hose. When cycling the tank with sufficient liquid, a swirling action
should remove accumulated solid wastes along with the waste liquid. Empty
the sewage tank weekly to prevent stagnation and overfilling.
The motorhome comes equipped with a
power flush system to aid in cleaning the
holding tank. The power flush nozzle,
located in the black tank, helps reduce solid
build-up. Use the tank flush each drain
cycle. Failure to thoroughly rinse the tank
each drain cycle may result in solids
accumulating and a clogged spray nozzle.
