After draining the black-water tank, it is recommended to add a holding-tank deodorant to help control
the odor and break down the solids. Follow the instructions given on the holding-tank deodorant
package.
When using dump stations for draining the holding tanks, keep other travelers in mind. Please practice good
housekeeping! Leave the dump stations in good order. Above all,
do not pollute !
Sewer Connection and Camping
When camping at parks with sewer connections, it is important to keep the black-water, holding-tank, gate
valve closed at all times, except when dumping. The gray tank can be kept open while hooked to a sewer
connection, but again, the black-water tank must be kept closed. This is done so that an ample quantity of
liquid remains in the tank to provide a smooth flow through the gate and drain valves when dumping.
Sufficient liquid in the tank causes a swirling action that should take any accumulated solid wastes with it.
Accumulation of solid wastes in the black-water tank can be avoided by keeping the gate valve closed when
connected to the sewer connection. If the valve is open, solid wastes may accumulate in the tank which may
eventually result in costly repairs.
Caution
The gray-water tank valve must be in the “open” position when operating the optional
washing machine.
No-Fuss Flush
This vehicle may be equipped with a flushing system for the black-water holding tank. When draining
your sewer tank, attach a water hose to the sewer spray connection. After the tank is drained, leave the
gate valve “open” and open the water valve to allow water to spray inside the black-water tank; this will
clean the inside of the tank of any debris that may be left inside the tank. After this procedure is done,
disconnect the freshwater hose and close the gate valve.
Caution
Be sure the gate valve is “open” when flushing the tank. Do not use the same hose for
the No Fuss Flush that is used for filling the fresh water tank.
