Using On-Site Sewer Hook-Ups
The drain hose may remain attached to the
dump outlet and be routed out the flip-down
hatch in the bottom of the compartment while the
motor home is parked and connected to an on-site
sewage hook-up.
The center outlet section may be swiveled
downward for better hose alignment and
drainage.
NOTE: Always keep service access passage
closed while utility connection is not in
use.
When using a sewer hook-up, keep the dump
valves closed until a tank becomes full or when
preparing to leave the site. This keeps the solids
in suspension, allowing them to be carried out
with the liquids when the dump valve is opened.
If the valve is left open, the liquids will drain
off, leaving solids in the tank. Should this
accidentally happen, disconnect the hose, fill the
tank about half full with water, and drive a few
miles to dislodge the solids. A few starts and
stops will aid in the process. Then reconnect the
hose and drain in the normal manner.

UTILITY LIGHT
A light is located up on the left sidewall to
illuminate the utility hook-up area when needed.
The switch is located in the water service
center compartment.
WATERLINE DRAIN VALVES
The water drain valves are used to drain water
from the water tank and the water supply lines
when preparing the motor home for storage or
when sanitizing the water system.
See the drain valve location chart at the end of
this section for locations on your model.
