CITY WATER HOOK-UP
Simply connect hose to source, open the valve and you have pressurized faucets,
toilet and water heater. Open faucets to purge trapped air from the water system. Allow
the water heater to fill before lighting.
WASTE WATER SYSTEM
The main parts of the waste water system are the toilet, dual holding tanks, and tank
dump valves. The system is designed to provide complete self-contained toilet facili-
ties, while on the road or parked, without being connected to a sewage line. It may also
be used in the stationary position while connected to a sewage hose.
Keep the dump valves closed with either method and empty the tanks when they are
nearly full. The idea is to send a large volume of water through the tanks and hose at
the same time to float solids away.
After the sewage tank has been emptied, close the gate valves and put approximately
five gallons of water in the sewage holding tank. This will help prevent solids from
building up in the sewage holding tank. The addition of a deodorizing agent like Aqua-
Kem will help prevent odors.
Should you ever have a build-up of solids, close the valves fill the tanks about 3/4 full
with fresh water, drive a distance to agitate the solids, and drain the tanks.
THINGS NOT TO PUT INTO TOILET OR DRAINS
1. Facial tissues (they do not dissolve like toilet paper).
2. Detergents or bleach. Use a sewage tank deodorizer, available from dealer.
3. Automotive antifreeze, ammonia, alcohols, or acetone.
4. Table scraps or other solids that may clog the drains.
SHORELINE POWER SUPPLY
The Power Cord hook-up is on the side of the trailer. The cord may be stored in the
rear exterior compartment. The power cord is plugged into the trailer receptacle and
the City Power Service.
Many campgrounds provide less than 30 amp service. It is possible to blow their
fuse or circuit breaker. If this happens, reduce the load and replace the fuse or reset
the breaker.
TELEPHONE/CABLE TV
Located on the side of your trailer is a gray electrical inlet with dual covers. Lifting
these covers reveals the receptacles to connect cable TV and telephone lines to your
trailer.
