Draining System
Fresh Water Lines and Tanks
Fresh water drain valves consist of low point water line
drain valves and fresh water tank drain valves The
valves are in-line or petcock-type valves
Refer to Section 8 - Maintenance for necessary drain
valve locations and draining procedures of fresh water
lines and tanks
Drain and Waste System
Your trailer has a drain and waste system that includes
waste-holding tanks made from corrosion-free molded
plastic, with trouble-free dump valves
NOTE
Never put wet strength paper towels or tissues
in your holding tank since they won’t dissolve
and can catch in the mechanism of the dump
valve. Colored toilet tissue is slower to dissolve
than white. Most RV accessory stores offer tissue
designed for RVs that will completely dissolve.
The main (Black Water) holding tank enables you to
use the toilet for several days away from disposal
facilities The wastewater from the sink, shower, bath
and lavatory drains into the auxiliary (Gray Water)
holding tank
Each tank has its own dump valve with both tanks
draining through a common outlet Therefore, only one
sewer hose connection is needed when hooking up to
a dump station
Almost all campgrounds will have dumping facilities
Park directories, such as Woodalls and Rand McNally,
also list dumping stations
Refer to Section 8 - Maintenance for important
information on Black and Gray Water tanks draining,
cleaning, and rinsing procedures
Check your monitor panel frequently (see Appliances
in this section) When the Black Water holding tank is
completely full, sewage cannot be emptied from the
toilet bowl. If the Gray Water holding tank is overfilled,
drain water will back up into the shower floor pan and
cause an unpleasant cleaning job Never drain the
tanks at any place other than an approved dumping
station
Water Pump
The water pump switch (monitor panel mounted, see
Appliances in this section) operates the pump Once
the switch is turned on, the pump will run until the
water pressure reaches about 55 psi At this point, an
internal pressure switch will shut it off When a faucet is
opened, the water pressure will drop and the pump will
start to run again
As a general rule, the water pump should be turned off
while using a city water hookup; however, the water
pressure at some campgrounds may be low The water
pump can be turned on to assist the city water hookup
pressure Be sure there is some water in the fresh
water tank The pump will only use the water that is
needed out of the tank to bring the pressure up to the
usual standard of 55 psi
Access to the water pump will be necessary for
periodic cleaning of the strainer screen Refer to
Section 8 - Maintenance for water pump access and
strainer screen removal
City Water Hookup
The city water hook-up is located on the side of the
trailer. For consistent water flow and plumbing line
safety, an in-line regulator limits pressure to 65 psi
Use a tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic high-pressure
hose of at least 1/2 in diameter designed for RV use
The city water inlet is a standard garden hose thread
We suggest you carry two lengths of hose in order to
reach hookups farther away than normal, plus, to have
a spare
After hooking up the hose and turning on the city
water valve provided in the park, slowly open a faucet
There will be a lot of spurts and sputtering until all
the air is expelled from the trailer system If the water
heater is empty, it will take some time before all the air
is expelled and a steady flow of water occurs at the
faucet. Once a steady flow is achieved at one faucet,
the others should be opened long enough to expel the
air in the lines going to them
Your plumbing system has a built-in pressure regulator
to protect your lines and faucets from extremely high
pressures on some city water systems
