PLUMBING SYSTEMS
Do not add automotive antifreeze or
caustic chemicals
detergents into the holding tanks. Although
these products may have a deodorizing
effect, they may damage the plastic and
rubber parts of the plumbing system or the
components.
Never leave the black tank drain in the open
position continuously when connected to the
campground sewer system.

There are labels on the exterior of the park
trailer indicating the location of the grey tank
drain and black tank drain (also called dump
valves). Always drain the black water holding
tank first so the following grey tank waste
water can help rinse any solids or debris from
the dump outlet and sewer hose.

Most states and parks have strict laws and
regulations to prohibit dumping of wastes of
any kind into anything other than proper
disposal facilities or sewer systems. Almost all
privately owned parks offer a campsite
hookup for sewage. You can locate many
dump stations throughout the United States
and Canada in Woodall's, Rand McNally
Camp Guide, Good Sam Camp Guide, KOA
Kampgrounds Camp Guide and various other
publications. Some fuel stations also have
dump stations.
Please contact your dealer for assistance in
the purchase and installation of a sewer hose
or sewer hose extension (if needed).

OILET

It is important to prevent solid waste
buildup. Follow the toilet manufacturer's
recommended instructions each time after
emptying the black water holding tank.
The toilet is efficient and easy to operate.
Generally, more water is required only when
flushing solids. Prior to using the sanitation
system, it is strongly recommended to flush
the toilet several times to release sufficient
water into the holding tank. If there is not a
sufficient amount of water used during
flushing, the waste
evacuate properly from the drain line to the
tank. Clogged tanks
eventually occur.
The toilet system will perform better when
water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after
flushing to ensure that the waste will proceed
to the bottom of the tank. Unlike a toilet in a
home, which uses four to seven gallons (18 -
32 liters) of water per flush, the average
recreation vehicle system uses one to three
quarts (1 - 3 liters). For added convenience
and better sanitation system performance, it is
advisable to always have four to six inches
(10 - 15 cm) of water in the toilet.
To prevent toilet blockage, always use RV
grade single-ply toilet paper. Do not flush
paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or
materials may not
