PLUMBING
The waste drainage system was designed to provide
adequate and safe storage and/or disposal of waste
materials. The drainage system uses plastic piping and
fittings connected to the sinks, toilet, and holding tanks
to provide for their drainage to an outside termination.
All waste water tanks are vented through the roof and
covered with a vent cap. The coach should be reasonably
level for best operation of the system.
The sewer line must be securely capped during self-
containment use to prevent leakage of waste material
onto the ground or pavement.
This article provides a basic overview of the waste water holding tanks. There are two separate waste systems: the gray tank
system and the black tank system. Each tank has its own control valve, and both tanks drain through the sewer drain hose.
Waste Water Holding Tanks
Some coaches not equipped with Oasis Hydronic Heating
may have optional tank heating pads to reduce the risk of
tank contents freezing.
Do not pull the holding tank gate valve open, or operate
the electric dump valve switch (if equipped) when the
protective cap is installed on the pipe. Always drain the
tank into an acceptable sewer inlet or dump station.
WARNING
!
Holding tanks are an enclosed sewer system and
must be drained into an approved dump station. Both
black and gray water holding tanks must be drained
and rinsed thoroughly on a regular basis in order to
prevent the accumulation of harmful or toxic materials.
WARNING
!
When routing the sewer or macerator hose, do not
place on or near the Oasis, generator or engine
exhaust pipes. Otherwise, damage may occur.
Gray Water Holding Tank
The gray water holding tank is located in the underbelly of
the coach, sometimes on top of the fresh water tank. It is
primarily used for the drainage from the kitchen and bath
sinks, shower, and the washing machine (if equipped).
Black Water Holding Tank
The black water holding tank is generally for sewage
waste from the stool. It is typically located between the
frame rails in the water compartment directly beneath
standard flushing toilets. Macerator-style toilets can be
installed away from the black tank.
During normal use, tank buildup may occur on the inside
of the tank. How quickly buildup occurs varies from user
to user and is a ff ected by many factors such as water
hardness, the amount of solid waste, how easily the toilet
paper breaks down, how often the tank is dumped, and
how well the tank is flushed. When buildup occurs, it
may impair the tank sensor’s ability to read tank levels
properly. Preventive tank maintenance is recommended.
Both tanks should be rinsed after dumping and treated
with a waste tank additive to help break down and liquefy
solid waste and help reduce odors. This chemical is
readily available at any RV supply store.
CAUTION
!
The gray tank valve must be in the open position
when operating the optional washing machine.
CAUTION
!
Use only approved RV odor-controlling chemicals in
the holding tanks. Products containing ammonia and
petroleum will damage the ABS plastic holding tanks
and seals.
Be careful not to spill the chemical on your hands,
clothing, or the carpet as it may cause a permanent
stain.
IMPORTANT
!
Waste Water Disposal
Both of the holding tanks terminate in a valve arrangement that permits draining each tank separately or together. The
valves that open to release the water are called gate valves. The blade that closed the opening in the sewer drain pipes is
connected to the T-handle to release the contents of the tank(s) when pulled.
