4. Open the Gray Waste Tank Drain valve. Be
sure there are no sags in the hose to ensure
complete drainage. Close Gray Waste Tank
Drain valve as soon as tank is empty.
5. Add an odor control chemical to the sewage
holding tank through the toilet. These
chemicals are available at most RV stores.
6. Rinse sewage drain hose thoroughly with
water before stowing.
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 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.
NOTE: Always keep sewage drain outlet capped
while sewage connection is not in use.

WATERLINE AND 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.
