12.2.5 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.
12.2.6 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 oor of the black water holding tank.
Should this happen, close the valves, ll 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 help to dislodge the wastes and allow the tank
to be drained in the normal manner.
