JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 8 – PLUMBING SYSTEM
8-17
Follow the deodorant bottle or package instructions. Driving to a disposal site will
normally loosen any accumulated waste debris or solids from the sides of the holding
tanks.
Sewer Hose Storage:
Depending on your RV model, the sewer drain hose may be stored in an exterior
compartment marked “Sewer Hose” or it may be located in the hollow square tube
bumper. Remove a bumper end cap, slide the hose inside the bumper, replace the cap.
Vent:
Models with the toilet/shower combination will have
a flexible vent hose running next to the roof support
and attached to the roof. This vent hose will
collapse as the roof is lowered into the travel
position. The vent must be kept clear of
obstructions to perform as intended.
BLACK WATER HOLDING TANK (IF SO EQUIPPED)
When connected to the sewer drain line at a campground, keep the “black tank drain”
valve closed until the holding tank is at least ¾ full. This should provide sufficient water to
assist in complete draining of the black water holding tank. Repeat as needed. Never leave
the black tank drain in the open position continuously when connected to the campground
sewer system.
Traveling with the tanks full can affect your fuel consumption, and depending on the
location of the tanks, can affect your vehicle handling characteristics. If you are dry
camping and cannot immediately empty your holding tanks, reduce your vehicle speed
until you reach a dumping station.
BLACK & GREY DRAINS
Black Tank Drain (if so equipped)
The black tank dump valve is located outside and underneath the trailer in the same area
where the toilet/shower is installed. The dump valve will have a black handle.
1. To make draining easier level the camping trailer.
2. Remove the sewer hose housing dust cap, and attach the sewer hose (customer
supplied).
3. Place the end of the sewer hose into the approved dump station.
