5. Remove, clean and store the sewer hose.
6. Replace the sewer hose housing dust cap.
You can locate many dump stations throughout the United
States and Canada in Woodall’s, Rand McNally Camp Guide,
Good Sam Camp Guide, KOA Kampgrounds Camp Guide
and various other publications. Some fuel stations also have
dump stations.
Please contact your RV dealer for assistance in the purchase
and installation of a sewer hose or sewer hose extension (if
needed).
Grey Tank Drain
Camping trailers are not equipped with gray water tanks, but they do include either a gray
water dump valve, or a gray water drain for the sink. Some models have a gray water drain
plug located under the front of the trailer. It has a threaded fitting that a garden hose will
attach to. Other models are equipped with a gray water dump valve. The dump valve is
located outside and under the trailer. The gray water dump valve will have a gray handle.
The dust cap should be removed before operating the valve handle.
TOILET (IF SO EQUIPPED)
Depending on your model and floor plan, it may have either a portable (cassette) chemical
toilet, or a regular RV toilet/shower combination.
Portable (Cassette) Chemical Toilet:
This toilet has two tanks joined together. The upper tank has clean water used for
flushing; the lower tank is the waste tank. NEVER add deodorizer into the upper water
tank. For specific instructions on how to dump the waste tank refer to the manufacturer’s
user guide.
RV Toilet/Shower Combination:
Some models have a standard RV toilet that is installed in the same compartment as the
shower. The shower and the toilet are connected to the same black water holding tank
which contains the waste/water from both. Refer to the Black Tank Drain section.
The toilet is efficient and easy to operate. Generally, more water is required only when
flushing solids. Prior to using the sanitation system, it is strongly recommended to flush
the toilet several times to release sufficient water into the holding tank. If there is not a
sufficient amount of water used during flushing, the waste materials may not evacuate
properly from the drain line to the tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could eventually occur.
