The weight of the holding tank contents is not calculated into the RV cargo
carrying capacity (this extra weight would reduce your available cargo capacity).
Traveling with full holding tank(s) could possibly cause you to exceed the
individual tire ratings and/or the RV GAWR or RV GVWR. Potential damage to
suspension components, such as springs, tires and axles, could result.
If your RV holding tank(s) are located behind the axles, 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.
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.
Drain pipes With P-Trap (If So Equipped)
The
drain pipes may be equipped with a “P-trap” installed to help prevent odors
from escaping into the RV. During travel, water from the P-traps may spill and
permit odors into the RV. By adding water and using a RV approved deodorizing
agent you will dissolve the contents faster and will keep the drain lines and tanks
clean and free flowing.
These chemicals are available at an RV supply store or your dealer.
Drain pipes With Dry Sealing Valve (If So Equipped)
Your RV may be equipped with a dry sealing valve that prevents the escape of
odors from your waste system and eliminates the need for P-traps.
Should the RV drain piping system become clogged and a mechanical cleanout
tool is used to open the drain pipe, it is important that the dry valve be removed
before passing the cleanout tool through the piping.
Passing a mechanical cleanout tool through the waterless valve may cause
damage to the internal seal that may potentially allow sewer gases to escape to
the RV interior
WARNING
Never travel with full black or grey water holding tanks. This not only wastes
your fuel but depending on the location of the
tank(s), it can affect your
tow vehicle handling characteristics
.
WARNING
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.
