Use only approved RV odor controlling chemicals in the holding tanks. Do not use chlorine or caustic
chemicals, such as laundry bleach or drain-opening chemicals, as they will damage the seals in the toilet and
dump valves. Products containing ammonia and petroleum will damage the ABS plastic holding tanks and
seals.
On coaches equipped with a macerator or macerator toilet(s), do not flush diaper wipes, feminine hygiene
products, or any other products that would not be easily liquified. Also avoid using holding tank deodorant
capsules, as they may cause the further damage to the macerator. Damage resulting from the flushing of
materials or objects are not warrantable repairs.

Sinks
Newmar
installs a wide range of sinks in our coaches, including stainless steel, solid surface, glass and others, as well
as drop-in, undermount, and bowl-type installations to achieve different
styles and aesthetic
designs.
P-Traps
Each of the sink drains have a water trap to prevent holding tank odors from entering the coach. These traps must have
water in them in order to trap the odors. While traveling, the water may splash out of the sink drains. While stored, the
water may evaporate, allowing an odor to enter the coach. If this occurs, run water from the faucet into the drain,
allowing
water to fill the trap. Some coach models with a rear shower
may have waterless traps in
lieu
of conventional P-traps.
Maintenance
Use care when cleaning to prevent scratching the surfaces of your sinks. Wash with a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
Avoid using “S.O.S.” type cleaning pads or other abrasive cleaners because they may scratch the surface.

Tubs and Shower Enclosures
P-Traps
The shower drain has a water trap to prevent holding tank
odors from entering the coach. These traps must have
water
in them in order to trap the odors. While traveling, the
water
may splash out of the shower drain. While stored, the
water
may evaporate, allowing an odor to enter the coach. If
this
occurs, run water from the faucet into the drain,
allowing
water to fill the trap. Some coach models with a
rear shower
may have waterless traps in
lieu
of
conventional p-traps.
If standing water occurs in your shower, do not attempt to unplug or open the drain with a coat hanger or a
sewer snake. Before taking your coach to a service center, try leveling your coach so that the rear is raised
slightly higher than the front. This may correct the condition and prevent drain-cleaning or a service repair.
