eventually occur. Damage caused by
improper use of the RV toilet is not
warrantable.
The toilet system will perform better when
water is run for ten to fifteen seconds after
flushing to ensure that the waste will proceed
to the bottom of the tank. For added
convenience and better sanitation system
performance, it is advisable to always have
four to six inches (10 - 15 cm) of water in the
toilet.
To help prevent toilet blockage, always use
RV grade single-ply toilet paper. This toilet
paper breaks down and dissolves in the
holding tank chemicals preventing potential
problems with the holding tank, the RV sewer
system and the dump station septic system.
Do not flush paper towels, diapers, sanitary
napkins or other foreign objects down the RV
toilet.
Maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for
maximum sanitation and operational
efficiency. Use the hand sprayer to help clean
the toilet bowl. Do not use chlorine (undiluted)
or caustic chemicals, such as laundry bleach
or drain opening types, in the toilet system.
These products damage the seals in toilets
and dump valves.

The weight of the holding tank contents is not
calculated into your RV cargo carrying
capacity (this extra weight will reduce the
available cargo capacity).
•
Traveling with full holding tank(s) could
possibly cause you to exceed the
individual tire ratings and/or the GAWR or
GVWR. Potential non-warrantable
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 pin box hitch
weight. Trailer sway and other handling
difficulties can be the result of the hitch
weight being too light.
The RV black and grey water holding tanks
use gravity flow (they are not mechanically
pressurized) during the dumping process.
If it's time to leave the campground and your
holding tanks aren't full, finish filling them with
water and then dump them. Driving to a
disposal site with sufficient liquids in the
holding tanks will normally loosen any
accumulated waste debris or solids from the
sides of the holding tanks. If you are dry
camping and cannot immediately empty your
holding tanks, reduce your vehicle speed until
you reach a dumping station.
Sewage (black) tank preparation
You should always use environmentally
safe chemicals. Enzyme based chemicals
use the good bacteria to digest waste and
control odors. Formaldehyde based
chemicals destroy the bacteria that's
needed to break down waste and can be
dangerous to humans and pets. It is
important to add enough water to prevent
solid waste buildup.
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.
Dump the black and grey water holding
tanks before traveling to avoid carrying
unnecessary weight. This not only wastes
your tow vehicle fuel but, depending on the
location of the tank(s), can affect your tow
vehicle handling characteristics.
