These not only combat odor, but also stimulate the bacteria that works to dis-
solve the solids in your tank.
Monitor Panel
Check your monitor panel frequently. When the MAIN HOLDING TANK,
(BLACK) is completely full, sewage cannot be emptied from the toilet bowl. If
the AUXILIARY HOLDING TANK (GREY) is overfilled, drain water will “backup”
into the tub and cause an unpleasant cleaning job. Never drain the tanks at any
place other than an approved dumping station. For complete instructions on
this panel see section G.
TOILET
Manufacturer: Thetford Corp.
The RV toilet in your Airstream is a design that has been used for many years.
In normal use simply depress the pedal and this dumps the sewage while fresh
water flushes down the side of the bowl. Water will continue to run into the bowl
for a short time after the pedal is released.
NOTE: When you dump the bowl of the toilet make sure all paper and solids
have cleared the mechanism before you allow it to close. Failure to do so can
cause the mechanism to become jammed and it will no longer close com-
pletely.
The Owner’s Manual supplied with the toilet has several maintenance and
cleaning instructions. Please read and follow all instructions.
