Using On-Site Sewer Hook-Ups
When staying at a capsite where sewer hook
up is available, the sewer hose may be attached
and left in place for the duration of the stay.
Do NOT leave the dump valves open. Open the
dump valves only when the tanks are full, or
when you are ready to leave the campsite. This
will keep solid wastes in suspension allowing
them to drain with the liquids when you open
the valves. If the valves are left open, the liquid
waste will drain, leaving the solids to collect on
the oor o the lack water holding tank solids
collect, close the valves, ll the tank with water,
and drive a few miles. You can also help clean
the tank y adding 1 cup o dish detergent
to the water. The motion of the vehicle and the
water will help dislodge the wastes and allow
the tank to drain in the usual manner.
