Caution
The gray tank valve must be in the “open” position when operating the optional
washing machine.
Sufficient liquid in the tank causes a swirling action that should take any accumulated solid wastes with it.
Accumulation of solid wastes in the black-water tank can be avoided by keeping the gate valve closed
when connected to the sewer connection. If the valve is open, solid wastes may accumulate in the tank
which may eventually result in costly repairs.
No-Fuss Flush
This vehicle may be equipped with a flushing system for the black-water holding tank. When draining
your sewer tank, attach a water hose to the sewer spray connection. After the tank is drained, leave the
gate valve “open” and open the water valve to allow water to spray inside the black-water tank; this will
clean the inside of the tank of any debris that may be left inside the tank. After this is done, disconnect
the freshwater hose and close the gate valve.
Caution
Be sure the gate valve is “open” when flushing the tank. Do not use the same hose for
the No Fuss Flush that is used for filling the fresh water tank.
Exterior Shower
Your Allegro Bus has an exterior shower (Figure 11-15, left-hand side) for your use and convenience
outside. That exterior shower is located in the sanitation
service compartment, which is located on the driver’s side
of the motor home. The exterior shower feature allows
you to do such things as rinse off sand or grass, muddy
shoes, or bathe yourself outside of your motor home.
The faucet operates just as it would in your kitchen or
bathroom. In addition to the shower itself, there is also a
soap dispenser conveniently situated in that same
compartment and a light to permit use under low-light
conditions.
