All things black & gray tank set up

First step put on gloves when doing anything with the black & gray water lines.

The black hose will need to be connected to the RV itself, - slide it on and twist to lock in place and then connect the other end to the dump intake at the dump station be sure to use the clear elbow piece is secured into the intake (or your campsite)

To ensure everything makes it to the intake use the hose holder to make the flow go smoothly.

*If you are at a campsite with full hook up you are now officially hooked up - be sure the black tank valve is CLOSED and the gray tank is OPEN*

Once you are connected and have a smooth line you will then open up the black valve and let is go until you see nothing in the clear elbow piece.

After the black tank has been emptied, you will then close the black tank and then open the gray tank. Let it run until nothing is coming out.

If you are connected at a full hook up campsite be sure to do the following steps before departing

Connect the dirty water hose (in the green container) to the RV unit to the inlet that is to the left and mentions “unsanitary”, and then connect the other end to the dump site spigot.

Once the hose is connected wash out the black tank and then the gray tank - ensuring the gray tank valve is CLOSED before turning on the water to wash out the black tank and then ensuring the black tank valve is CLOSED when washing out the gray tank.

You will run the water in each valve until the water runs clear

Once you have clear water in the elbow for both tanks you can now unhook the hose ensuring you connect both ends together as shown in the video at time stamp 2:08

Ensure all valves are CLOSED and then disconnect the black hose and accordian it down as shown in the video at time stamp 2:26 - connect both ends of the black hose together and then place the clear elbow piece in the white trash bag.

Put up the hose holder using the orange clips

Close up all compartments, ensuring they are locked and throw away your gloves.

There is hand sanitizer in both doors in the cab of the RV
