Introduction
for tank capacities for your model.
Dumping Holding Tanks
1. Remove sewage drain hose from small access
door located on driver side of the motorhome.
2. Remove dust cap from sewage drain outlet
and connect sewer hose. Be sure it is firmly
attached.
NOTE: The sewage drain outlet on your
motorhome may swivel downward
(depending on model) when necessary to
avoid bends in the sewage drain hose,
which could trap solids while dumping
or to provide more direct drainage while
using on-site sewer hook-ups.
3. Place the outlet end of sewage drain hose into
disposal opening.
NOTE: Black and Gray tank valve positions may
be reversed depending on floorplan and
tank location.
4. Open the Black Waste Tank Drain valve with
a quick pull and make sure there are no sags in
the hose. Move the hose gently about to
dislodge any waste and ensure complete
drainage. Close Black Waste Tank Drain
valve as soon as tank is empty.
NOTE: DO NOT OPEN BOTH VALVES AT
ONCE. Do not open the Gray Waste
Tank Drain valve until the black tank is
drained and Black Waste Tank Drain
valve is closed to avoid sewage back-up
into gray tank. Gray water also rinses
any black water solids from the sewage
drain hose.
5. Open the Gray Waste Tank Drain valve. Be
sure there are no sags in 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.
Flushing Your Black Waste

–If Equipped
The black waste holding tank is equipped with

after dumping.

usual manner at an approved sewage disposal
station.
