PLUMBING
HOLDING TANKS
The Oliver Travel Trailers holding tanks hold 30 gallons in the grey tank and 15 gallons in
the black tank. Each tank should be emptied often at a dump station designated for this
purpose. Most national, state, and private campgrounds have dumping facilities. Many
service stations, particularly along interstate highways, also have these facilities and are
listed dumping station locations across the nation.
DUMP OUTLETS
TO EMPTY THE HOLDING TANKS:
1. Remove the two pins from both sides of the aluminum bumper, and pull the flexible
sewer hose out.
2. Remove the end cover from the drain line and install the flexible drain hose. Position
the flexible drain hose over the dump station inlet. Make sure the drain line is securely
attached. Both drain termination handles are located in the basement storage
compartment.
3. Open backflow preventer in the bathroom or open it using the optional Auto Drain
switch in the closet to prevent the grey water tank from air locking.
4. Drain the black water tank first by pulling the termination valve handle toward you.
Make sure to allow sufficient time for the tank to completely drain and then rinse
the tank with several gallons of water by depressing the toilet’s flush pedal. Close the
toilet’s flush lever and fill the toilet with water, then flush. This creates an additional
force to clean the tank more completely.
5. Drain the gray water tank by pulling the termination valve handle toward you. Draining
the gray water tank last, with its soapy water, helps to further rinse the drain and
flexible drain hose.
6. When tanks are emptied, close termination valves by pushing handles back to closed
positions. Ensure the backflow preventer is closed before traveling.
7. Remove flexible drain hose from the dump station inlet, using the shower hose, rinse
off the flexible drain line if needed, cap it and replace it in the storage behind the rear
bumper. Secure the bumper and cap the dump station inlet.
WASTE HANDLING
The following guidelines will help to ensure trouble-free operation:
• Never put anything in the black water tank other than toilet paper, especially for RV
systems.
