Using On-Site Sewer Hook-Ups
The sewer hose may remain attached to the
drain outlet and be routed out the bottom of the
compartment while the motorhome is parked and
connected to an on-site sewage hook-up.
NOTE: The drain outlet swivels downward for
better hose alignment and drainage.
Always keep service access passage
closed while utility connection is not in
use.
WARNING
Service inlet access must be closed when
utility connections are not in use.
When using a sewer hook-up, keep the Black
and Gray Waste Tank Drain valves closed until a
tank becomes full or when preparing to leave the
site. This keeps the solids in suspension, allowing
them to be carried out with the liquids when the
dump valve is opened. 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 miles to dislodge the solids. A
few starts and stops will aid in the process. Then
reconnect the hose and drain in the normal
manner.
NOTE: Always keep sewage drain outlet capped
while sewage connection is not in use.
