water) and one for sewage waste (black water). Each has its own storage tank,
control valve and both empty through a sewer drain hose. When traveling, it is
recommend both holding tanks be empty or less than half full.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sinks, shower and clothes washer drains incorporate a water
trap or “P-trap” and auto vents to prevent waste water holding tank
odor from entering the motorhome. These P-traps for the most part
are usually within 54” of a vent tee. These traps must have water in
them to block odors. During storage water can evaporate and allow
odor into motorhome. If odor is detected run water into sinks,
shower and clothes washer to fill drain traps. The auto vent by
design is to assist in the flow of water in the drain lines. They
enable a smooth flow water in the drain without creating vacuum
pressure in the lines.
The auto vent, if stuck in the open position, can allow grey
odors to enter the motorhome. These auto vents also double as
“clean outs” in the event you have to snake out a line.
NOTE: Most chemical mixtures for holding tank
odor control are poisonous. Follow the
product manufacturer's directions and warnings when using
any holding tank additive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sewage tank stores toilet drain waste only. Before using the toilet you
need to treat the sewage holding tank with water that is mixed with an odor
controlling chemical. These chemicals are readily available at any RV supply
store. The chemicals are poured into the holding tank through the toilet. Mix
the chemicals with approximately one gallon of water. Be careful not to spill
the chemical on your hands, clothing or carpet as it can cause permanent stain.
Extremely hot weather areas may require adjusted amounts of chemical to help
with odor control. Each time holding tank is dumped, repeat the chemical
mixing.
CAUTION: Do not use any products that contain petroleum
or ammonia in place of an RV odor controlling chemical.
Petroleum and ammonia will damage the ABS plastic holding
tanks and seals.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The waste tank stores sinks, shower and clothes washer drain water. No
chemical is required in this holding tank; however, keep in mind this is a waste
holding tank and can produce odors. A reduced mixture of chemicals may be
used for odor control.
Prior to dumping the the waste holding tanks, be sure there is enough liquid
in holding tanks to provide a smooth flow through valve drain pipe and drain
