Keep drain valve closed to minimize the
presence of sewer gases. Sewer gases
can be present when RV is connected to
campground sewage hookup. May lead
to illness or personal injury.
CAUTION
• Do not put facial tissue, paper, grease, ethylene glycol-based or
other automotive antifreeze,
sanitary napkins or
household toilet cleaners in the holding tanks.
• Do not put anything solid in either tank that could block piping or
scratch and puncture the tank.
If the drain system does get clogged:
• Use a hand-operated probe to loosen stubborn accumulations.
• Seriously clogged P-traps may require disassembly. Be careful not
to over tighten when reassembling.
• Do not use harsh household drain cleaners or motorized drain augers.
• Sometimes the holding tank valve will get clogged. In this case,
a hand-operated auger may be necessary. Be ready to close the
valve quickly once the clog is cleared. If the seal gets damaged, it
must be replaced.
TOILET
The toilet is connected to the pressurized fresh water system. A single
lever arrangement controls the flushing and the flow of water into the
bowl. Most RV toilets are designed to function with a smaller amount of
water than household toilers. Unnecessary, frequent flushing of the toilet
will quickly deplete your fresh water supply and fill your holding tank. If
the black water tank becomes full, the toilet cannot be flushed until the
tank is drained.
To keep toilet blockage to a minimum:
• Only use an RV approved biodegradable 1-ply tissue paper and
deodorizing agents specifically designed for use in RV holding tank
systems. These products are available directly from your dealer and
most camping supply stores.
• Never use chlorine or caustic chemicals such as drain opener or
laundry bleach in your toilet.
• Never allow foreign objects (non-dissolving items) such as hygiene
products, paper towels, wipes, or diapers to be flushed through
the toilet.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual included in the Owner’s Packet or in the
packaging of your toilet for operating and detailed care instructions.
WINTERIZING/DE-WINTERIZING
Freezing climates can damage the camper’s plumbing system and
equipment. The camper must be drained and have antifreeze protection
before storing or camping in below freezing temperatures in fall/ winter.
This is done through a process called winterizing.
Be sure to always use a non- ethanol based antifreeze when winterizing
your camper.
When getting the camper ready for camping season in spring you must
There is a secondary method of
winterizing via a blowout plug connected
to an air compressor. Since there is a
risk involved with this method if the
system is not blown out thoroughly
and some water remains in the lines,
nuCamp recommends the RV antifreeze
winterizing method as a safer option.
If you wish to try the blowout method
consult your dealer for instructions and
training. Pressure in the lines must never
exceed 30 PSI when blowing out the
water system.
