Please do not use more than 1 ply toilet paper. Do not use paper towels or
Kleenex or you will have trouble emptying your black water tank. Do not place
any feminine hygiene products or any other foreign objects into the toilet.
Please do not forget that when you return the motorhome, the holding tanks
should be empty and flushed. If they are not, you will incur additional charges
on your rental contract.
Adding Chemicals: Run enough water into the black water tank to cover the
bottom of the toilet with about 1 inch of water by flushing the toilet , then add
sufficient toilet chemicals (1 small bottle or bag – approx 8 oz.) for one tank
filling. You must add chemicals to the black holding tank each time after it is
emptied and before you start using it again. This will aid in the breakup of
solid wastes and make emptying the tanks much easier. The tank is now
ready to use again. You will receive the first batch of chemicals from us. It is
part of your starter kit. Should you need additional chemicals, you can
purchase them from us before you leave, or at your campground or RV supply
store.
Holding Tank Tips: The holding tanks are designed to be virtually trouble
free and easy to operate. However, occasionally there are a few problems
that may arise. One problem is that the holding tank indicator lights on the
monitor panel may read incorrectly. Another problem may be that the tanks
become clogged by debris and will not empty properly. In both cases, a little
preventative maintenance will stop the problems before they start. To begin
with, do not empty the tanks until they are ½ to ¾ full. This provides sufficient
water to completely empty all waste material into the sewer line. It also keeps
matter from drying on the metal sensors inside the tank that are connected to
the monitor panel, thus avoiding erroneous readings.
Another tip: after emptying the black water tank, empty the gray water tank,
but leave the black water valve open while the gray water is draining. Gray
water will flow back into the black water tank helping to flush it. Do not put
facial tissue, paper towels, sanitary napkins, household toilet cleaners, or
ethylene glycol based or other automotive antifreezes in the holding tanks.
Also, avoid pouring grease, oils or similar substances down sink drains or the
toilet. Grease may coat the sensor probes mounted in the tanks thus giving a
false reading on the monitor panel. If there appears to be a blockage in the
drain pipes, it might help to drive the vehicle a distance so that the blockage
might dislodge, before attempting to empty the tank again.
