Waste Water
Sink and shower water drain into the coach’s grey tank. The shower and sink have traps to prevent tank odors from entering the living space.
Be sure to replace the screw-in plug in the shower drain after use to prevent grey water from sloshing up into the shower pan from the grey water
tank. (Picture 48.1)

Water in Grey Tank from Entering Into the
Shower Pan.

The grey and black water tanks level indicators on the monitor panel will give you an
approximate indicator of your tank levels.
When the grey water tank is full, water will no longer drain from the shower or either sink. You
must dump the grey tank before running anymore water.
If you see below the toilet valve in the bowl of your toilet, your black tank is also full and needs
to be emptied before further use.
Use only RV or septic rated toilet paper in the coaches’ toilet. Any other items thrown into the
black tank could cause the macerator system to jam or become damaged.
See HOWTO Waste Water Dumping for more information.
*Note - Black and Grey water tank capacities can vary depending on options and
configuration.*
