Section 5
PLUMBING
Your Aviator has the termination valves and handles located on the off door side near the rear of the unit.
The termination handles are located in the exterior convenience center while the termination valves are
located under the rear of the unit.
The storage tanks are constructed of strong, light-weight polyethylene, which minimizes both weight and
maintenance. Your Aviator has one gray water tank and one black water tank.
Each tank has a separate drain line and dump valve, which permits dumping tanks individually or
together. Each tank should be emptied often, at dump stations designated for this purpose. These dump
stations are found at most campgrounds and are well marked. Many service stations, particularly along
interstate highways, also have these facilities. Campground directories list dumping station locations
across the nation.
If possible, dump holding tanks before a trip, to reduce the gross vehicle weight. Enough water should be
kept in the black water tank to cover the bottom to prevent hardening of any residue that may remain.
Never dump black water tank until it is 2/3 full. This practice insures that enough water is in the tank to
flush all wastes into sewer line. If necessary, fill the tank to the 2/3 level using the monitor panel tank
level indicator with additional water before draining. Also you can use the
when
emptying the black tank.
Never put anything in the holding tanks other than normal drain water, wastes and biodegradable
products. Paper wrappers, gum, cigarettes, etc. no matter how small, should NEVER be placed into either
the gray or black tanks.
NOTE: YOU CAN FIND BIODEGRADABLE PAPER PRODUCTS AT MOST STORES THAT
SELL CAMPING SUPPLIES AND AT CAMPGROUNDS THAT HAVE A STORE ON
THE PREMISES. YOU CAN ALSO FIND CHEMICAL SUBSTITUTES FOR DEPOSIT
INTO THE WASTE TANKS, IF YOU PREFER.
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT HARMFUL AND TOXIC MATERIALS CAN
ACCUMULATE IF THE HOLDING TANKS ARE NOT REGULARLY DRAINED AND
THOROUGHLY RINSED. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO USE HOLDING TANK
DEODORIZING AND CLEANING AGENTS IN THE WASTE WATER TANKS TO
REDUCE ORDERS AND KEEP THE LINES OPEN AND FREE FLOWING.
