WASTEWATER
The RV is equipped with two separate wastewater tanks. The grey water tank holds the wastewater drained
from the sinks and shower. The black water tank holds waste flushed down the toilet. Please use plenty of
water with each flush of the toilet to prevent clogging.
The tank capacities are limited. Tanks must therefore be emptied regularly.
EMPTYING THE WASTEWATER TANKS
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 can get stuck on the sensors inside the
tank causing false readings.
-
There is no clog if water can be heard running through the
sewer hose.
HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING
The RV furnace runs on propane. However, the fan runs on electrical power. The fan will operate on both 12V
and 110V (shore power). It is preferable to have a power hook-up in order to heat the RV.
CAUTION:
-
Don’t let your heater run for an extended perio
d of time WITHOUT being on shore power. If
your vehicle is not connected to a 110V power grid, the heater/fan can overload the system. The
fan consumes a lot of power and can quickly drain the coach batteries. The renter is liable for
repairs due to battery overload and/or any time loss.
-
The RV will need 110V/30AMP in order to operate the roof air condition.
THERMOSTAT
Furnace and air conditioner are operated by a joint thermostat. The display indicates the mode and the room
temperature. The display of this
Dometic Capacitive Touch Thermostat
will come on when the mode button is
pressed once. It will show the
Inside Temperature
in
OFF mode
only!
CAUTION:
-
NEVER leave the vehicle unattended while draining the wastewater tank.
-
Do not leave the drain valves open, even if you have a permanent sewer connection, as it will
eventually clog up the system. Any resulting damage is the responsibility of the renter.
-
The wastewater can only be emptied at designated disposal stations. These DUMPING, SANI or
DISPOSAL stations can be found on most campgrounds, at some gas stations and rest areas
along main roads and highways. The wastewater tanks should be emptied regularly (every two
or three days).
