Maintenance for Holding Tanks
The following maintenance is recommended by our holding tank
suppliers to keep your tanks clean and keep the probes free of
debris and build-up.
Gray (Waste-Water) Tank.
Fill tank with 10-12 gallons of warm
water. Add a degreaser such as a citrus cleaner or Dawn dish soap.
Leave solution in tank while you are traveling. Rinse and drain tank.
Black (Sewer) Tank.
Fill tank with 10-12 gallons of water. Add one
bottle of drain cleaner, such as Drano or Liquid Plumber. Leave the
solution in tank while traveling. Rinse and drain tank.
Optional heated holding tanks are available on many models. Two
(2) methods used to distribute heat are: (1) Placing holes from tank
compartment into heat duct built into floor, allowing warm airflow
throughout tank area, (2) Heating pads attached to tank with
adhesive, operated with 12V power from battery and/or converter.
Switch to turn on pads is normally located in bathroom area.
Winterizing Your Recreational Vehicle
Preparing your trailer for cold weather is very important for most
states and Canada. Failure to prepare your coach for cold weather
will cause the water systems to freeze resulting in breakage.
Damages related to freezing are not covered under the terms of
your limited warranty.
Two methods of winterizing your coach after draining and flushing
your drainage system are listed on the next page.
Method 1:
1. Open all faucets, low point drains and toilet valve to drain all
water. Leave these open during this procedure.
It is important to use adequate water to flush and have several gallons of
water with chemicals in the tank. This helps the flow of wastes and reduces
solid waste build-up.
