•
Flush and sanitize fresh water tank. The fresh water tank drain is located behind the running board skirt directly to the left of the city water
connection. See Picture 57.1 for fresh water door and city intake fill. Valve position allows for filling from either location. To flush the tank:
o
Fill it completely using the city fill and drain using the fresh water tank drain underneath the tank, under the coach behind front axle.
o
Sanitize by adding 1/2 cup chlorine bleach to the tank, fill with water, let sit for at least two hours, and drain. 1/2 cup vinegar added to
the next tankful, which will also be drained before filling with fresh water for use, will help dissipate the chlorine smell.
Refer to other sections in this manual for drain and fill locations.
