SECTION 7 –
PLUMBING
NOTE: Always keep service access passage
closed while utility connection is not in
use.
When using a sewer hook-up, keep the Black
and Gray Waste Tank Drain Valves closed until
a tank becomes full or when preparing to leave
the site. This keeps the solids in suspension,
allowing them to be carried out with the liquids
when the dump valve is opened.
If the valve is left open, the liquids will drain
off, leaving solids in the tank. Should this
accidentally happen, disconnect the sewage drain
hose, fill the tank about half full with water, and
drive a few miles to dislodge the solids. A few
starts and stops will aid in the process. Then
reconnect the sewage drain hose and drain in the
normal manner.

WATERLINE AND TANK DRAIN
VALVES
The water drain valves are used to drain water
from the water tank and the water supply lines
when preparing the motor home for storage or
when sanitizing the water system.
To Drain Tanks and Waterlines
The waterline and tank drain valves are
located inside driver and passenger side
compartments (see Water System Drain Valve
