Typical Utility Compartment
If the drain system does get clogged:
• Use a hand-operated probe to loosen stub-
born accumulations.
• Seriously clogged P-traps may require disas-
sembly. Be careful not to overtighten when
reassembling.
• Do not use harsh household drain cleaners.
• Do not use motorized drain augers.
• Sometimes the holding tank valve will get
clogged. In this case, a hand-operated auger
may be necessary. Be ready to close the valve
quickly once the clog is cleared. If the seal
gets damaged, it is easily replaced.
Cold Weather Usage
The holding tank(s) area is heated through ducts
from the coach heating system. To prevent hold-
ing tank freeze up, the furnace thermostat should
be set to maintain a minimum of 35 degrees
Fahrenheit in the holding tank(s) area, Be aware
that exposed drains may freeze quickly.
