The toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational efficiency. Clean the toilet
bowl with a mild bathroom cleaner.
DO NOT USE CHLORINE OR CAUSTIC CHEMICALS,
SUCH AS LAUNDRY BLEACH OR DRAIN-OPENING TYPES, AS THEY WILL DAMAGE
THE SEALS IN THE TOILET AND DUMP VALVES
.
Refer to the toilet-manufacturer’s owner’s manual in your Phaeton Owner’s Information Package for
complete instructions and a detailed troubleshooting guide.
P-Traps
Each of the sink drains, the shower drain, and the washing-machine drain (if so equipped) has a water trap (P-
trap) to prevent holding-tank odors from entering the vehicle. These traps must have water in them to trap
odors. When the vehicle is in motion, the water may splash out of the sink and shower drains. When the
vehicle is stored, the water may evaporate from these traps allowing odors to enter the vehicle. If this occurs,
run water from the faucet into the drain, thus allowing water to fill the traps again.
Black-Water Holding Tank
The “black water” (i.e., sewage) holding tank is located directly beneath the toilet. Before using the toilet, 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 the chemicals on your hands, clothing, or the
carpet because such may cause a permanent stain. Pull the toilet levers forward to allow the chemicals to mix
with the toilet water. Continue pulling the toilet levers until a depth of at least one inch of solution is directly
under the toilet. Release the levers and the waste tank is now ready for use.
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.
Caution
It is important that you use as much water as possible with each flush. This will help
prevent tissue and other solids from clogging the holding tank outlet.
