the weight of the full tank(s) will reduce the
hitch weight. Trailer sway and other handling
difficulties can be the result of the hitch weight
being too light.
Dump the gray and black water holding tanks
before traveling to avoid carrying unnecessary
weight. If you are dry camping and cannot
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.

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).
Do not add automotive antifreeze or
caustic chemicals such as laundry
detergents into the holding tanks. Although
these products may have a deodorizing
effect, they may damage the plastic and
rubber parts of the plumbing system or the
components.
