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 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 detect-
ed 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 of
water in the drain without creating a vacuum.
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 man-
ufacturer's directions and warnings when using any
holding tank additive.
NOTE: During cold weather antifreeze must be added to the drain
traps.
When parked in an area with a sewer hook up, “exercise” the drain pipe
before hooking up the sewer hose. Swivel the pipe up and down by firmly
grasping both sides of the sewer drain pipe hose connection. This will exer-
cise the O-rings. Leave the drain pipe pointing up to prevent any residual
material from running out.
Attaching the Sewer Hose:
• Turn the drain end cap counterclockwise and remove it from the
drain pipe.
• Unscrew the hose access deck plate from the bottom of the water
service compartment. Feed the adapter end of the drain hose up
through the hole and install the hose adapter onto the drain pipe.
• Rotate the drain pipe downward for maximum flow.
• Straighten and secure hose to avoid recoil. Attach the end of the
hose to the sewer connection at the dump station.
NOTE: Ensure sewer hose connections and hose clamps are secure before use.
The grey water holding tank valve (small valve) remains open when con-
nected to the sewer hook-up. The black water holding tank valve (large valve)
remains closed at all times except when dumping the sewage tank. When
preparing to dump the black water holding tank, first close the grey water tank
