Class A
When using a sewer hook-up, keep the dump
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.
Holding Tank Level Indicators
See
Systems Monitor Panel
in Section 4 for
further information on the monitor panel and
checking tank levels.
Water Line & Tank Drain Valves

when preparing the motor home for storage or
when sanitizing the water system.
To open or close the drain valves, turn the
handles in the directions indicated by the
