The toilet system will perform better when water is run for ten to fteen seconds after ush-
ing to ensure that the waste will proceed to the bottom of the tank.
If there is not a sucient amount of water used during ushing, the waste materials may not
evacuate properly from the drain line to the tank. Clogged tanks and pipes could eventu-
ally occur. For added convenience and better sanitation system performance, it is advisable
to always have four to six inches (10 - 15 cm) of water in the toilet. It is important to add
enough water to prevent solid waste buildup. The following guidelines will help to prevent
solid waste buildup.
1. Release one to two quarts (1 or 2 liters) of water into the toilet bowl.
2. Follow the directions on your (approved RV) toilet chemical bottle (customer sup-
plied), by placing the recommended quantity of holding tank chemical into the toilet
bowl.
3. Flush the toilet and allow at least two gallons (8 liters) of water to ow into the holding
tank.
The toilet should be cleaned regularly for maximum sanitation and operational eciency.
For detailed information refer to the manufacturer’s operator manual.
Spray Port (if so equipped)
Your RV may include a Spray Port on the exterior door side of the
trailer. This Spray Port provides a way to rinse items o outside
the RV or can be used to extinguish a campre. There are no fau-
cets to control (cold only) water ow. Water ow is controlled by
the pump if dry camping or city water if using pressurized water.
There is a removable spray nozzle at the end of the coiled hose.
The hose is typically stored under the bed.
Connect the end of the blue coiled hose
into the tting on the Spray Port. It has a collar on the tting which
operates similar to an air hose tting. Pull back the collar on the
Spray Port tting, insert the end of the hose into the collar and re-
lease. The hose locks into the tting. With the water supply turned
on, pull the trigger on the spray nozzle until you have the desire
water ow.
The water line supplying water to the sprayer must be drained if the RV is being transported,
stored or if freezing weather is expected. This water line can be winterized with RV anti-
freeze. Refer to Winterizing the Plumbing System for instructions on draining and winter-
izing the Spray Port.
