The water hose reel uses 12-volt DC power to
operate the control panel switch, which is
located next to the water hose reel. Your
Owner’s Information Package contains detailed
operating and maintenance instructions concern-

instant hot water from the galley water dis-
penser. Your Owner’s Information Package

instructions concerning this system.
WASTE WATER SYSTEM
The waste water system in your RV is made up
of sinks, tub, shower, toilet, plumbing drain and
vent lines, a “gray water” holding tank and a
“black water” holding tank. The gray tank holds
shower, tub and sinks, where the black tank holds
toilet effluent. The holding tanks make the sys-
tem completely self-contained and allow you to
dispose of waste water at your convenience. A
flexible sewer hose is required to connect the
holding tank outlet to the inlet of an approved
waste water dump station or sewer system.
The drain plumbing is very similar to that used
in your home. The system is trapped and vented
to prevent waste gases from backing up into the
RV. The drain plumbing is made of plastic, and
is durable and resistant to most chemicals. All
drain plumbing except the toilet connection ter-
minates in the gray water holding tank and
drains directly into it.
Toilet
Your RV is equipped with a marine-type toilet.
The flushing mechanism, whether a foot-oper-
ated pedal power flushed or a hand-operated
lever, allows a valve in the bottom of the bowl
to open, permitting the contents to be flushed
into the “black” holding tank. A stream of water
under pressure from the RV’s water system
swirls around the bowl, cleaning it and flushing
the contents into the holding tank. Most models
have two levers, each working independently of
the other so the bowl can be filled with water
prior to use.
In order to help prevent hard deposits from
building up within the “black” tank and help
reduce unwanted odor, it is recommended to
always keep water in the tank. When empty after
a tank discharge, flush the toilet several times in
order to introduce about five gallons of water.
It is highly recommended that a deodorizing
product should be used for the black tank after
each discharge at a dumping station. This will
help control unwanted odors.
Ensure that the black tank sewer drain system is
always closed and only opened when draining at
a dump station. Never allow your black tank
system to dry out unless it has been thoroughly
cleaned, sanitized and rinsed first.

toilet operating manual in your Owner’s
