12.2.4 DO'S AND DON'TS
HOLDING TANKS
1. DO keep your holding tank clean using any
cleaner approved for recreational vehicle
sanitation systems.
2. DO add a special deodorizer or chemical
additive approved for recreational vehicle
systems to sanitize and improve the tank
action.
3. DO keep your tank termination valve closed,
permitting the tank to get as full as convenient
before emptying.
4. DO keep both the tank termination valve(s) and
the drain cap tightly in place when travelling to
permit use of the system when on the road.
5. DO use any soft, single-ply, non dyed,
biodegradable toilet tissue.
6. DO open the bath vent to keep bathroom fresh.
7. DON'T put facial tissues, paper, permanent
(automotive) anti-freeze, sanitary napkins, or
household toilet cleansers in your holding tank.
8. DON'T put anything solid in your holding tank
which can scratch or damage the plastic.
12.2.5 USING ON-SITE SEWER
HOOK-UPS
When staying at a campsite for any period of time
and providing that sewer hook-ups are available, the
sewer hose may be attached and left in place for the
duration of the stay.
However, make sure that dump valves are left closed
and are opened only once the tanks are full or when
you leave the campsite. This will keep solid wastes
in suspension allowing them to drain with the liquids
when the valves are opened. If the valves are left
open, the liquid wastes will drain leaving the solids
to collect on the floor of the black water holding
tank.
Should this happen, close the valves, fill the tank
with water and drive a few miles. A 1/4 cup of
dishwater detergent added to the tank will help to
clean it. The motion of the vehicle and the water will
dislodge the wastes and allow the tank to be
drained in the normal manner.
12.2.6 HOLDING TANK LEVEL
INDICATORS
The holding tank levels may be checked on the
monitor panel. Press the corresponding switch
to check the level in each tank.

heater. The water may be heated in one of three
ways:
1. With an LP gas burner.
2. With a 120-volt heating element (optional)
3. With an automotive engine heater
while driving. (optional)
1. LP Gas Operation:
a. To ignite the heater, set the waterheater
switch located on the monitor panel.
2. Operating Features:
a. The water heater is equipped with a preset
water temperature control. The burner will
bring the water temperature up to the desired
level and then automatically shut off.
b. It is also equipped with a temperature cut-off
device in case the water temperature exceeds
the preset limit. The breaker will trip and shut
down the burner. Before the burner will restart,
the breaker will have to be reset. If it continues
to trip, have the unit checked and serviced.
Refer to manufacturers operating instructions
included in the information package.
