There are labels on the exterior of the recreation vehicle indicating the location of the grey
tank drain and black tank drain (also called dump valves). Always drain the black water
KROGLQJWDQN¿UVWVRWKHIROORZLQJJUH\WDQNZDVWHZDWHUFDQKHOSULQVHDQ\VROLGVRUGHEULV
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 (customer supplied).
3. Place the end of the sewer hose into the approved
dump station.
4. Open the black tank dump valve (depending on
your model the valve may be located under the
RV, or on the utility center). Close the dump valve when the black water holding tank
is empty.
5. Open the grey tank dump valve (depending on your model the valve will be located
under the RV or on the utility center). Close the dump valve when the grey holding tank
is emptied.
6. Remove, clean and store the sewer hose.
7. Close the sewer hose housing dust cap.
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
or sewer hose extension (if needed).

When connected to the sewer drain line at a campground, keep the “black tank drain” valve
FORVHGXQWLOWKHKROGLQJWDQNLVDWOHDVWôIXOO7KLVVKRXOGSURYLGHVXI¿FLHQWZDWHUWRDVVLVW
in complete draining of the black water holding tank. Repeat as needed. Never leave the
black tank drain in the open position continuously when connected to the campground sewer
system.
Traveling with the tanks full can affect your fuel consumption, and depending on the location
of the tanks, can affect your vehicle handling characteristics. If you are dry camping and
cannot immediately empty your holding tanks, reduce your vehicle speed until you reach a
dumping station.
Whenever possible, do not travel with waste in the holding tanks. Liquid or
debris in the holding tank(s) may affect the towing characteristics and may
result in property damage or personal injury.
