water to clean. Do not use gritty or abrasive particle soaps or scouring compound to clean
ABS plastic. Avoid using “Citrus” or biodegradable cleaners which contain “D-Limonene”.
They will damage plastic materials. Contact your dealer for repair or replacement.
Black/Grey Water System and Tanks
Water from the sinks and shower flows into the gray water (or wastewater) holding tank.
Water from the toilet will flow into the black water (or sewage) holding tank (see Black/Grey
Water Holding Tanks).
Drain Pipes with P-Trap (if so equipped)
The drain pipes may be equipped with a “P-trap”
installed to help prevent odors from escaping into
the RV. During travel, water from the P-traps may
spill and permit odors into the RV. By adding wa-
ter and using a RV approved deodorizing agent you
will dissolve the contents faster and will keep the
drain lines and tanks clean and free flowing. These
chemicals are available at an RV supply store or
your dealer.
Drain Pipes with Dry Sealing Valve (if so equipped)
Your RV may be equipped with a dry sealing valve that prevents the escape of odors from
your waste system and eliminates the need for P-traps. Should the RV drain piping system
become clogged, it is important that the dry valve be removed before passing a mechanical
cleanout tool through the piping to open the drain. Passing a cleanout tool through the wa-
terless valve may cause damage to the internal seal that may potentially allow sewer gases
to escape into the RV interior. The waterless trap can be unscrewed from the water lines. A
label has been placed near the location of the waste valve that reads as follows:
Sewer Hose Storage
Depending on your RV model, the sewer drain hose may be stored in an exterior compart-
ment marked “Sewer Hose” or it may be located in the hollow square tube bumper. The
bumper has removable plastic end caps, and the hose slides inside the hollow bumper.
Vents
Vent pipes and vents release air from the grey and black
water holding tanks. On most models the exterior vent
cap is attached to the roof and must be kept clear of
obstructions to perform as intended.
On some models, the vent pipe may be part of the
drainage system referred to as a “wet vent” where water
flows downward as air flows upward in the same pipe.
Some models are equipped with a side vent system. On these models this label will be next
to the termination valve. This label should not be removed from your recreation vehicle.
Black/Grey Water Holding Tanks
Dump the gray and black water holding tanks before traveling to avoid carrying unnecessary
weight. The weight of the holding tank contents is not calculated into the RV cargo carrying
capacity. Traveling with full holding tank(s) could cause you to exceed the individual tire
