CLASS C MOTORHOME SECTION 8 – PLUMBING SYSTEM
8-19
The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fifteen seconds
after flushing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
Unlike a toilet in a home, which may use up to seven gallons of water per flush,
the average recreation vehicle system uses one to three quarts (1 - 3 liters).
For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is advisable
to always have four to six inches (10 - 15 cm) of water in the toilet.
To prevent help toilet blockage, always use RV grade single-ply toilet paper. Do
not flush paper towels, diapers, sanitary napkins or other foreign objects down the
RV toilet.
Sewage (black) tank preparation
1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow the directions on your toilet chemical bottle (customer supplied), by
placing the recommended quantity of holding tank chemical into the toilet
bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to flow into the
holding tank.
Waste (grey) holding tank preparation
No special preparation is required; however, placing a small quantity of chemicals
into this tank (such as baking soda or an approved RV chemical) will reduce odors
from food particles in the system.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational
efficiency.
Do not use chlorine (undiluted) or caustic chemicals, such as laundry bleach or
drain opening types, in the toilet system. These products damage the seals in
toilets and dump valves.

your RV dealer, the manufacturer or Jayco Customer Service.
