Flush black water holding tank. Use a hose or bucket to fill the tank through the toilet, and dump.
Flush grey water holding tank. Use a hose or bucket to fill the tank through the galley sink, and dump.
Flush and sanitize fresh water tanks. To flush the tanks, fill them completely using the gravity fills, open the tank isolator
valve, and drain using the freshwater tank drain underneath the right side of the driver's doorsill. It will sometimes take an
hour or more for the internal tank to drain through the external tank. You can speed the process up by selecting the internal
tank with the tank selector lever and running the water pump and the outside shower faucet. Remember to put it back to the
exterior tank after you're done. Sanitize by adding 1/2 cup chlorine bleach to each tank, fill with water, let sit for at least two
hours, and drain. 1/2 cup vinegar added to the next tankfulls, which will also be drained before filling with fresh water for use,
will help dissipate the chlorine smell. Information on the location of these valves is in the HOWTO: Potable Water Use section.
