WASTEWATER
Your motorhome is equipped with two separate wastewater tanks. The grey water tank collects the
wastewater from the sinks and shower. The black water tank collects the wastewater from the toilet. Please do
not save water when flushing the toilet to prevent tank clogging.
EMPTYING THE WASTEWATER TANKS
Sewer Pipes
The sewer pipes of both holding tanks converge below the chassis and lead to a joint drain pipe.
CAUTION:
Different to other RV’s your motorhome has 3 valves instead of 2 you have to open!
CAUTION:
-
NEVER leave the vehicle unattended while draining the wastewater tank.
-
Do not leave the drain valves permanently open, even if you have a permanent sewer
connection, because this may lead to crusting and clogging in the black water tank. The renter is
liable for any damage resulting from such failure.
-
The wastewater tanks must be emptied at designated disposal stations only. These DUMPING,
SANI or DISPOSAL stations can be found at many campgrounds and at some gas stations and rest
stations along main roads and highways. The wastewater tanks should be emptied regularly, i.e.
every two or three days.
Troubleshooting: Wastewater Tanks
Problem
Cause/Solution
The RV is hooked up to the city water
connection and water comes out of the toilet
and/or the ventilation pipe on the roof.
You accidentally connected the water hose to the sewer flush.
Turn off the water and connect the hose to the "City Water"
hook-up.
The wastewater tanks are indicated to be full
although they have just been emptied.
-
Paper, grease or food gets stuck on the sensors inside the
tank causing false indications.
-
There is no clog if you can hear the water run off through
the sewer hose.
HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING
The furnace in the RV runs on propane, however the fan that pushes warm or cold air through the ventilation
system needs electrical power. The fan will operate on both 12V and 110V (shore power). Obviously, it is
preferable to have a power hook-up in order to heat the RV.
