Troubleshooting: Toilet
Problem
Cause/Solution
The toilet is clogged
up.
-
The black water tank might be full. Please empty it at the dump station of your
campground or a Sani dump.
-
Pour some hot water into the toilet. It will flow to the wastewater tank and should
help dissolve solid waste quickly. It only works if no objects are causing the problem.
WASTEWATER
The RV is equipped with two separate waste water tanks. The grey water tank holds the waste water drained
from the sinks and shower. The black water tank holds waste flushed down the toilet. Please use plenty of
water with each flush of the toilet to prevent clogging.
The tank capacities are limited. Tanks must therefore be emptied regularly.
EMPTYING THE WASTEWATER TANKS
CAUTION:
-
NEVER leave the vehicle unattended while draining the wastewater tank.
-
Do not leave the drain valves open while the RV is connected to a permanent sewer drain at the
site because this may lead to crusting and clogging in the black water tank. The renter is liable
for any damage resulting from improper use of the system.
-
The wastewater tanks must be emptied at designated disposal stations only. These DUMPING,
SANI or DISPOSAL stations can be found at many campgrounds and at some gas stations and rest
stations along main roads and highways. The wastewater tanks should be emptied regularly, i.e.
every two or three days.
Troubleshooting: Wastewater Tanks
Problem
Cause/Solution
The RV is hooked up to the city water
connection and water comes out of the toilet
and/or the ventilation pipe on the roof.
You accidentally connected the water hose to the sewer flush.
Turn off the water and connect the hose to the "City Water"
hook-up.
The wastewater tanks are indicated to be full
although they have just been emptied.
-
Paper, grease or food can get stuck on the sensors inside the
tank causing false readings.
-
There is no clog if water can be heard running through the
sewer hose.
HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING
The RV is equipped with a furnace which is operated by 12V and fueled by propane. Ensure that a propane
bottle is open and the batteries are charged or the camper is hooked up to a 110V power grid. The furnace is
controlled using the thermostat (see below).
