Drainage
All permanent fresh water tanks can be drained by one of two types of
drain valve:
1. A white plastic drain is attached to outer wall. Open the valve and
allow the tank to drain. (Fig. 56)
2. A valve is located inside of the coach adjacent to the water tank.
The knob turns 45° to open and close.
To drain the water supply lines, locate the “low-point” drains
as shown in Fig. 57. These valves are placed near the floor
and may be located under cabinets, dinettes, sofas, beds, or in
storage areas. As their name indicates, they will be at the
lowest point of the water lines. A label is placed on the
outside of the trailer to indicate where the drains are located.
The drains will typically need to be opened from inside the
trailer. Once the label is found on the outside of the trailer, go
inside to find the corresponding drain location.
TO DRAIN SYSTEM:
1. Open all faucets including the optional exterior shower.
2. Open the fresh water tank drain.
3. Open the water heater drain. (Consult the water heater owner’s manual for details.)
4. Open all (2 to 4 depending on the model of your trailer) low-point drains.
5. Open the toilet valve, hold or block it if necessary.
6. To empty the pump, start and allow it to run 15-20 seconds.
SANITATION SYSTEM
Your trailer is equipped with a complete sanitation system. The components of this system
are the toilet, waste water and sewage holding tanks and drains for both tanks. Familiarize
yourself with all functions of the system. Read, understand and follow the information
found here as well as information in the “Set Up Camp...” chapter. If you have questions,
consult with your independent, authorized dealer for clarification.
Caution: For the protections of your sanitation system and the environment, always
use biodegradable toilet paper that is specifically rated for recreation vehicles. If
you have questions, consult with your independent, authorized dealer.
Using Toilet and Tank System
.
NOTE: For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is
advisable to always have four to six inches (10-15 cm) of water in the toilet.
Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly recommended to flush the toilet several
times and release sufficient water into the holding tank. If there is not a sufficient amount of
water used during flushing, waste materials may not evacuate properly from the drain line
to the tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could eventually occur.
