EXTERIOR SHOWER / WASH
STATION
The exterior wash station feature allows you
to do things such as rinse off sand or salt after a
swim, rinse off muddy boots, or bathe your pet
outside the coach.
TOILET
The toilet in your motor home is very similar
to the household type, except that it is designed to
use only a small amount of water per flush. It
uses a high velocity jet of water, producing a
swirl effect, to efficiently cleanse the bowl.
Important “Don’ts”
•
Don't use facial tissue or regular toilet tissue in
the RV toilet. These will not disintegrate
sufficiently and will often cling to the sides of
the holding tank. Toilet tissue made
specifically for use in RV toilets and holding
tanks is available at most RV supply centers.
•
Don’t dispose of sanitary napkins or other
non-dissolving items in the toilet.
•
Don’t put automotive antifreeze or caustic
chemicals, such as laundry bleach or heavy
detergents into the toilet or holding tank.
These products may damage plastic or rubber
parts in the system.
See winterizing instructions to prepare the
toilet for storage in freezing conditions.

provided in your Owner InfoCase.
WASTE WATER SYSTEM
(Holding Tanks)
The drainage system is self-contained and
uses two separate holding tanks to contain the
waste water until it can be dumped at an
appropriate waste water disposal site. This means
you can use the toilet, sinks and shower even in
areas where utility hookups are not available.
The black water holding tank contains the
sewage from the toilet and may include bathroom
lavatory on some models. The gray water holding
tank contains the waste water from the galley
sink and shower, and may include bathroom
lavatory. See “Tank Capacities” in Section 1 for
your model.
The waste drain (sewer) hose has a handle and
valve as a sanitary convenience feature. The
handle makes the hose easier to carry when
placing into a dump site receptacle and when
rinsing and storing. The valve end reduces the
chance of dripping from the hose.
Dumping Holding Tanks
1. Remove the dust cap from the drain outlet and
connect the sewage drain hose. Twist to lock
the hose end hooks onto the pegs on the drain
outlet. Be sure it is firmly attached.
2. Open the hose end valve (handle) and place
the head of the sewer hose into the disposal
opening. Push the handle forward to open the
valve inside the hose head
