The drainage system is self-contained and uses two separate holding tanks to contain the waste
water until it can be dumped at an appropriate waste water disposal site. This means you can
use the toilet, sinks and shower even in areas where utility hookups are not available.
The black water holding tank contains the sewage from the toilet and may include bathroom
lavatory on some models. The gray water holding tank contains the waste water from the galley
sink and shower, and may include bathroom lavatory.
See "Specifications" in Section 1-
Introduction for tank capacities for your model.

Black and Gray tank valve positions may
be reversed depending on floor plan and
tank location.

the hose to ensure complete drainage. Close Gray Waste Tank Drain valve as soon as tank is
empty.
6. Add an odor control chemical to the sewage holding tank through the toilet. These chemicals
are available at most RV stores.
7. Rinse sewage drain hose thoroughly with water and stow.
NOTE: We recommend that you dump all holding tanks before traveling to avoid carrying
unnecessary weight.
Using On-Site Sewer Hook-Ups
The sewage drain hose may remain attached to the sewage drain outlet while the motorhome is
