10. Rinse sewage drain hose thoroughly with
water and stow.
NOTE: We recommend that you dump all
holding tanks before traveling to avoid
carrying unnecessary weight.
Using On-Site Sewer Hook-Ups
The sewage drain hose may remain attached to
the sewage drain outlet while the motorhome is
parked and connected to an on-site sewage hook-
up.
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 valves are
opened. If the valves are left open, the liquids
will drain off, leaving solids in the tank. Should
this accidentally happen, disconnect the sewage
drain 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 sewage drain hose and drain in the
normal manner.
NOTE: Always keep sewage drain outlet capped
while sewage connection is not in use.
Holding Tank Level Indicators
See
“Systems Monitor Panel”
in
Section 4–

WATERLINE & TANK DRAIN
VALVES
The waterline and tank drain valves are used
to drain water from the water tank and the water
supply lines when preparing the motorhome for
storage or when sanitizing the water system.
See the “Water System Drain Valve
Locations” chart at the end of this section for
locations on your model.
