NOTE: Make sure you review the information in the “Before You Travel...”
chapter for specific information related to the weight of holding tank contents.
DRAINING THE HOLDING TANK(S)
On the outside of the trailer are labels (Fig. 27 & Fig. 28) that indicate the location of the
gray and black holding tank drain. A typical set up of the tank drain and termination valves
is indicated in Fig. 29. Look for the labels to locate the drain and follow the instructions
below to empty the tanks.
When hooking up to the sewer drain line in a campground, keep the termination valve on
the waste tank CLOSED until the tank is at least 3/4 full. This will provide sufficient water
to assist in complete draining of tank. At this time, open the termination valve to empty the
tank (see directions for draining below) and close the valve when the tank is empty. Repeat
this process as needed, but NEVER leave the termination valve open when hooked up to
the park’s sewer system.
To empty holding tank:
1. Make sure the unit is as level as possible to aid with drainage.
2. Attach the adapter to the flexible sewer hose and secure it with a clamp.
3. Remove the dust cap and attach the adapter onto the drain pipe.
4. Turn the adapter 10° to lock it onto the pegs on the drain pipe.
5. Place the other end of the hose into an approved sewer system.
6. Open the black tank termination valve to empty the black tank.
7. Open the gray tank termination valve to empty the gray tank, utilizing the water to
wash and rinse the flexible hose.
All drain pipes have a “P-trap” installed into each line. Water in these traps prevent odors
from escaping into the trailer. During travel, water from the P-traps may spill and permit
odors into the trailer. These odors come from food particles decomposing in the tank. By
adding water and using a RV approved deodorizing agent the contents will dissolve faster
and will keep the drain lines and tanks clean and free flowing. Chemicals are available at an
RV supply store.
Most states and parks have strict laws and regulations to prohibit dumping of wastes of any
kind into anything other than proper disposal facilities or sewer systems. Almost all
privately owned parks have either a central pump facility or offer a campsite hookup of
sewage. You can find lists of many dump facilities throughout the United States 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.
