Connections at the kitchen and bathroom faucets normally seal by hand-tightening them and then making an
additional half-turn with a wrench.
If a fitting leak persists, disconnect it completely and visually inspect it for mineral deposits or foreign material
stuck on the sealing surfaces. Clean the surfaces thoroughly and reinstall the fitting. Take the motor home to
an authorized Tiffin Motorhomes service center for additional repairs if the water system continues to leak.
Follow the winterizing instructions given in Chapter 14 to reduce risk of leaks caused by cracks from freezing
pipes. Left unchecked, freezing damage can be extensive and expensive.
WASTEWATER SYSTEMS
General Information
The waste drainage system was designed to provide adequate and safe storage and/or disposal of waste
materials. All of the materials used in the fabrication of this system are tested by a nationally recognized
testing laboratory. The drainage system uses plastic piping and fittings connected to the sinks, toilet, and
holding tanks.
This plumbing permits the drainage of these fixtures to an outside termination. The vehicle should be
reasonably level for best operation of both of the wastewater systems (there are two, separate wastewater
systems). The gray-water system is for wastewater from the sinks and shower. The black-water system is
for sewage waste from the toilet. Each wastewater tank has its own control valve and both drain through
a common sewer-drain hose.
Toilet
The toilet (Figure 11-10) in your motor home may be a china toilet equipped with a spray attachment.
The toilet operates with water from either the fresh water tank with the water
pump “on” or the city water supply. Before using the toilet, add water to the
bottom of the tank. Refer to the “BLACK WATER TANK” instructions
elsewhere in this chapter.
The toilet flushes waste directly into the black-water holding tank. The toilet uses
high-velocity water injection to produce swirl effect in the bowl. The greatest
problem that causes stool solids to accumulate in the holding tank is lack of
liquids. It is imperative that you use as much water as possible when flushing to
prevent tissue and other solids from clogging the holding tank outlet.
When using your toilet, it is wise to fill the toilet ¾ full of water—this will help
wash the solids away from directly below the toilet and to assure complete dumping of the holding tank.
To add water to the toilet bowl, lift or raise the flush lever until the desired water level is reached. To
flush the toilet, push down on the lever until the water swirls. A small amount of water should remain in
the bowl.
