inlet side of the pump.

THE WASTE WATER SYSTEM
The waste water system in your motor home is
made up of sinks. tUb, shower. toilet, plumbing drain
and vent lines, a "gray water" holding tank and a
"black water" holding tank. The holding tanks make
th~
system completely self·contained and "lIow you
to dispose of waste water at your convenience. A flex·
ible sewer hose is required to connect the holding
tank outlet to the inlet of an approved waste water
dump station or sewer system.
The drain plumbing is very similar to that used in
your home. The system is trapped and vented to pre·
vent waste gases from backing up into the motor
home. The drain plumbing is made of ABS plastic,
and is durable and resistant to most chemicals. All
drain plumbing except the toilet connection terminates
in the gray water holding tank. The toilet is mounted
on the blackwater tank and flushes directly. into it.
