Waste Water System
The main parts of the waste water system are the
toilet, holding tanks, and tank dump valves; see Black
and Gray Water Tank Draining on page 8-12 . The
system is designed to provide complete self-contained
toilet facilities, while on the road or parked, without
being connected to a sewage line� It may also be used
in the stationary position while connected to a sewage
hose�
Keep the dump valves closed with either method and
empty the tanks when they are nearly full� The idea is
to send a large volume of water through the tanks and
hose at the same time to float solids away.
After the sewage tank has been emptied, close the
dump valves and put approximately five gallons of
water in the sewage holding tank using the black tank
flush inlet. This will spray the interior of the tank with
water and help prevent solids from building up in the
sewage holding tank� The addition of a deodorizing
agent like Aqua-Kem® will help prevent odors�
Should you ever have a buildup of solids, close the
valves, fill the tanks about 3/4 full with fresh water,
drive a distance to agitate the solids, and drain the
tanks�
Things Not To Put Into Toilet Or Drains
• Facial tissues and feminine hygiene products (they
do not dissolve like toilet paper).
• Automotive antifreeze, ammonia, alcohols, or
acetone�
• Table scraps or other solids that may clog the drains�
