EARTHBOUND RECREATIONAL VEHICLE TRAILER OWNER'S MANUAL
CITY WATER HOOK-UP
Simply connect hose to source, open the valve and you have pressurized
faucets, toilet and water heater. Open faucets to purge trapped air from the
water system. Allow the water heater to fill before lighting.
WASTE WATER SYSTEM
The main parts of the waste water system are the toilet, dual holding tanks, and tank dump valves. The
system is designed to provide complete self-‐contained toilet facilities, while on the road or parked, without
being connected to a sewage line. It may also be used in the stationary position while connected to a
sewage hose.
Keep the dump valves closed with either method and empty the tanks when they are nearly full. The idea is
to send a large volume of water through the tanks and hose at the same time to float solids away.
After the sewage tank has been emptied, close the gate valves and put approximately five gallons of water
in the sewage holding tank. This will help prevent solids from building up in the sewage holding tank. The
addition of a deodorizing agent like Aqua-‐Kem will help prevent odors.
Should you ever have a build-‐up of solids, close the valves fill the tanks about 3/4 full with fresh water,
drive a distance to agitate the solids, and drain the tanks.
THINGS NOT TO PUT INTO TOILET OR DRAINS
1. Facial tissues (they do not dissolve like toilet paper).
2. Detergents or bleach. Use a sewage tank deodorizer, available from dealer.
3. Automotive antifreeze, ammonia, alcohols, or acetone.
4. Table scraps or other solids that may clog the drains.
SHORELINE POWER SUPPLY
The
Power Cord
hook-‐up is on the side of the trailer. The cord may be stored in the rear exterior
compartment. The power cord is plugged into the trailer receptacle and the City Power Service.
Many campgrounds provide less than 30 amp service. It is possible to blow their fuse or circuit breaker. If
this happens, reduce the load and replace the fuse or reset the breaker.
