PLUMBING SYSTEMS
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 help toilet blockage, always use
RV grade single-ply toilet paper. Do not flush

Sewage (black) tank preparation
It is important to add enough water to
prevent solid waste buildup. Follow the
directions listed below and in the OEM
operator's manual
1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of
water into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow the directions on your toilet
chemical bottle (customer supplied), by
placing the recommended quantity of
holding tank chemical into the toilet bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two
gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the
holding tank.
Waste (grey) holding tank preparation
No special preparation is required, however,
placing a small quantity of chemicals into this
tank, such as baking soda or an approved RV
chemical, will reduce
particles in the system.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for
maximum sanitation
efficiency. Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or
caustic chemicals, such as laundry bleach or
drain opening types, in the toilet system.
These products damage the seals in toilets
and dump valves.
