Connecting the Waste Drain Hose
A flexible 3” sewer hose attaches between the termination drain and the shore facility. Sewer hoses usually
come in 10’ or 20’ lengths. The shore fitting for the sewer hose may be 3” or 4” inch pipe, which could be male
or female thread. Another possibility may be a 4” pipe, with no threads, covered by a metal plate. There are
many configurations. Different style adapters are available to fit most configurations. Hose ladders may also be
purchased to support the hose.
It is important that the hose remains secure. Always tighten clamps and restraining devices before use. Lay
the hose inline between the termination outlet and the shore fitting. Restrain the hose to prevent movement during
use. Wear protective and/or disposable gloves when handling the sewer hose.
To Attach the Hose:
1. Remove termination cap. Align coupler tangs with termination tabs. Twist coupler clockwise 90º, locking
coupler to termination outlet.
2. Attach the other end of the hose to the drain service. Restrain hose to prevent movement during use.
3. Open the (small) grey water valve(s) during camping with drain hose attached to the drain service.
NOTE:
Close the grey water valve(s) 24 hours prior to departing to allow the tank(s) to fill with
liquid to help in the dumping process.
The (large) black water valve remains closed until the tank is full or until time of departure. This will help
prevent accumulation of solids. Use the outside faucet or shower attachment for washing or rinsing.
NOTE:
Lubricate the O-ring on the sewer hose adapter periodically with silicone spray. Use care
when connecting the sewer hose adapter to the termination outlet in cold weather.
Draining the Holding Tanks
Dumping the Tanks:
1. When preparing to dump the black tank, first close the grey water valve(s) located on frame next to drain
terminal 24 hours before dumping tanks.
2. Fill the grey tanks to at least 25% by running water in the shower or sinks.
3. Use the monitor panel to observe tank fluid levels. When the grey tanks are 25% full stop filling the
tanks.
