The grey valve remains open until the next drain
cycle, or time of departure .
Preparing for Travel:

method working the sewer hose towards the shore
fitting .
4 . Rinse the sewer hose with outside facility and
repeat the hose drain process .
5 . Remove the sewer hose from shore fitting .
6 . Store the sewer hose .
