Black Water Holding Tank
The black water, sewage, & holding tank is located directly beneath the toilet.
Before using the stool, you will need to treat the tank with water that is mixed with
an odor-controlling chemical. These chemicals are readily available at any RV
supply store. Be careful not to spill chemicals on your hands, clothing, or the
carpet because it may cause a permanent stain. The black water tank is equipped
with an additional external connection to hook a water hose to aid in completely
flushing with fresh water after emptying. It is recommended to run pressurized
water to the clean-out for two to five minutes or until water runs clear.
CAUTION
Use only approved RV odor controlling chemicals in the holding tank. Products
containing ammonia and petroleum will damage the ABS plastic holding tanks and
seals.
Gray Water Holding Tank
The gray water holding tank is in the underbelly of the unit. It is primarily used for
the drainage from the kitchen and bath sinks and the shower.
Wastewater Disposal
Both holding tanks terminate in a valve arrangement that permits draining each
tank separately or together. It is recommended to drain the black water tank before
the gray tank. This will allow the water from the gray tank to wash the black water
residue from the drain lines and hose. The valves that open to drain the water are
called gate valves. The blade that closes the opening in the sewer drainpipes is
connected to the T-Handle to release the contents of the tank(s) when pulled. The
sewer line must be securely capped during self-containment use to prevent leakage
of waste material onto the ground or pavement. Do not pull the holding tank gate
valve open when the protective cap is installed on the pipe. Always drain the tank
into an acceptable sewer inlet or dump station.
Most of the systems and holding tanks empty through a common fitting located on
the left side of the vehicle. The drainage system is self-contained allowing use of
the toilet, sinks, or shower even in areas where sewage hookup is not available.
