A pad is attached to the exterior bottom side
of the holding tank. Heat is supplied by 12-volt
DC power through the heating element built
into the pad. Approximately 6-8 amps of
energy per pad is consumed and fused
through the 12-volt power supply board. An
internal thermostat is built into components of
the heat pad to control temperature and assist
in energy conservation.
The control switch to turn the holding tank
heat pads ON or OFF is located on an interior
wall in or near the bathroom. Power to heating
pads should be turned off until:
1. Water is in the holding tank.
2. The temperature drops to 34°F (1°C).
3. The motorhome is parked, set up and all
attachments performed.
Turn the heated holding tank pads OFF
when dumping and draining the holding
tanks.

The grey tank drain and black tank drain are
also referred to as dump valves. Always drain
the black water holding tank first so the
following grey tank waste water can help rinse
any solids or debris from the dump outlet and
sewer hose.
1. To make drainage easier, level the RV.
2. Remove the sewer hose housing dust
cap, and attach the sewer hose.
3. Place the end of the sewer hose into the
approved dump station.
4. Open the black tank dump valve (close it
when the black water holding tank is
emptied).
5. Open the grey tank dump valve (close it
when the grey holding tank is emptied).
6. Remove, clean and store the sewer hose.
7. Close the sewer hose housing dust cap.
Most states and parks have strict laws and
regulations to prohibit dumping of wastes into
any kind into anything other than proper
disposal facilities or sewer systems. Almost all
privately owned parks offer a campsite
hookup for sewage. You can locate many
dump stations throughout the United States
and Canada in Woodall’s, Rand McNally
Camp Guide, Good Sam Camp Guide, KOA
Kampgrounds Camp Guide and various other
publications. Some fuel stations also have
dump stations.
Please contact your RV dealer for assistance
in the purchase and installation of a sewer
hose and/or sewer hose extension (if
needed).

The black tank flush is also called a “no fuss
flush.” The fresh water from the non-toxic
drinking water hose goes directly into the
black water holding tank where there is a
“sprayer” connection located. This allows you
to clean the black water holding tank by
removing debris and preventing accumulation.
There is a check valve incorporated in the
plumbing lines to prevent back flow. Flush the
black water tank each time the grey and black
water holding tanks are dumped or as
needed:
Do not add automotive antifreeze or
caustic chemicals such as laundry
detergents into the holding tanks. Although
these products may have a deodorizing
effect, they may damage the plastic and
rubber parts of the plumbing system or the
components.
Do not use the same hose to fill your fresh
(potable) water tank that is used for the
black tank flush.
