The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen (10-15) seconds
after flushing to ensure waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank. Unlike your toilet at
home, which uses four to seven gallons (18-32 liters) of water per flush, the average
recreation vehicle system uses one to three quarts (1-3 liters).
Vents
Another important part of the sanitation system are the vents which release air from tanks.
Each tank has a vent pipe built into the trailer through the cabinet, wall and roof. A vent cap
is attached to the roof and must be clear of obstructions to perform as intended. On some
models the vent pipe may be part of the drainage system referred to as a "wet vent." This
means water flows downward as air flows upward in the same pipe.
Holding Tanks
The final part of your system are the holding tanks. They hold waste and are located below
the floor of your trailer. The bath tub and sinks drain into the waste water tank, also referred
to as the "gray" water holding tank. The toilet drains into the sewage holding tank, also
referred to as the waste (black) holding tank. Certain floor plans may also have the lavatory
draining into the waste (black) tank.
WASTE (BLACK) TANK PREPARATION
1. Release one to two quarts (1 to 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow the directions on your toilet chemical bottle by placing the recommended
quantity of holding tank chemical into the bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the tank.
CAUTION: It is important to add enough water to prevent solid waste build up.
Follow these directions each time after emptying your holding tank, except when
winterizing.
GRAY WATER HOLDING TANK
No special preparation is required. However, placing a small quantity of chemicals into this
tank, such as baking soda or a Thetford chemical, will reduce odors from food particles in
the system.
LP GAS SYSTEM
I
DANGER: LP gas can be extremely dangerous. Improper use of the LP
gas system will present an immediate hazard situation where death or
serious injury will result. It is possible that mechanical or property
damage will also occur. Make sure you read, understand and follow all
information supplied with your unit in this manual and all component
part manufacturer’s literature.
It is because of the LP gas system that your RV has the convenience of a refrigerator, stove,
water heater, and furnace. The components of the LP gas system are:
• LP gas container or bottle
• A two stage regulator
• Pipes, hoses and tubing to deliver the gas to appliances
