immediately empty your holding tanks, reduce
your vehicle speed until you reach a dumping
station. When connected to the sewer drain
line at a campground, keep the “black tank
drain” valve closed until the holding tank is at
least ¾ full. This should provide sufficient
water to assist in complete draining of the
black water holding tank. Repeat as needed.
Before using the RV or after dumping the grey
and black water holding tanks, always add the
proper amount of deodorant to the black water
tank to prevent malodors and help break down
holding tank contents (unless winterizing).
Follow the deodorant bottle or package
instructions. Driving to a disposal site will
normally loosen any accumulated waste
debris or solids from the sides of the holding
tanks.
Never leave the black tank drain in the open
position continuously when connected to the
campground sewer system.

RAINS
There are labels on the exterior of the RV
indicating the location of the grey tank drain
and black tank drain (also called dump valves).
Always drain the black water holding tank first
so the following grey tank waste water can
help rinse any solids or debris from the dump
outlet and sewer hose.
1. To make drainage easier, level the RV.
2. Remove the sewer hose housing dust cap,
and attach the sewer hose (customer
supplied).
3. Place the end of the sewer hose into the
approved dump station.
4. Open the black tank dump valve (close the
dump valve when the black water holding
tank is emptied).
5. Open the grey tank dump valve (close the
dump valve when the grey holding tank is
emptied).
6. Remove, clean and store the sewer hose.
7. Close the sewer hose housing dust cap.
Most states and parks have strict laws and
regulations to prohibit dumping of wastes into
any kind into anything other than proper
disposal facilities or sewer systems. Almost all
privately owned parks offer a campsite hookup
for sewage. You can locate many dump
stations throughout the United States and
Canada in Woodall’s, Rand McNally Camp
Guide,
Good Sam Camp Guide, KOA
Kampgrounds Camp Guide and various other
publications. Some fuel stations also have
dump stations.
Please contact your RV dealer for assistance
in the purchase and installation of a sewer
hose or sewer hose extension (if needed).

may have a deodorizing effect, they may
damage the plastic and rubber parts of the
plumbing system or the components.
