The waste drainage system is designed to provide adequate and safe storage
and/or discharge of waste materials. All materials used in the fabrication and
installation of the system are tested by a nationally recognized testing laboratory.
The entire fabricated waste system is factory tested in accordance with
American National Standards Code A119.2. The drainage system uses ABS
plastic piping and fittings for its connection to the sinks, shower, toilet and
holding tanks which provide for the proper drainage to an outside termination.
The motorhome should be reasonably level for optimum operation of the systems.
Two separate waste water systems are in the motorhome: one for waste water
(grey water) and one for sewage waste (black water). Each has its own storage
tank and control valve. Both systems empty through a sewer drain hose. When
the motorhome is traveling, both holding tanks should be empty or less than
half full.
• Do not use strong or full strength detergents to deodorize and disinfect.
Use odor control chemicals made especially for holding tanks.
• Do not put automotive antifreeze, ammonia, alcohol or acetone in holding
tanks. Some chemicals will dissolve plastic.
• Do not put large table scraps in the tanks. They could get stuck in or
damage the valve seals.
• Do not flush facial tissues. They are treated chemically to strengthen them
and will not dissolve like toilet paper. Special holding tank tissues are
available at most RV supply stores. White toilet paper dissolves faster
than colored papers.
