Sewage and WasteThe RV has two tanks for collecting sewage which are the black tank and grey tank. The black tank holds material from the toilet and the grey tank holds material from the sink and shower. To see the current level of these tanks you may press on the “Grey” and “Black” buttons located on the control panel.

Please Note: The black tank sensors are not accurate because they often get clogged. The black tank level may be seen by a visual inspection simply by flushing the toilet and looking down.

Preparing to Empty Sewage:

1) About 1 hour before empting, flush a tank sanitizing bio tablet down the toilet to help break up sewage. This may also been done during the trip to keep the tank fresh.

2) Sewage pipes are located in the rear storage or RV rear bumper.

3) Attach the pipes and then open the black tank valve first, then the grey.

4) VERY IMPORTANT: While the black tank is emptying, flush the toilet for5 minutes to flush out the tanks.

5) Toss in a new tablet down the toilet.

Trouble Shooting and Emergencies:In the case of an emergency or even general questions, I ask that you do not hesitate to contact me at (209) 914-2619

This RV is covered by God Sam RV Roadside Assistance along with the roadside assistance that comes with the Progressive insurance policy of the vehicle. In the case of a mechanical issue you will need to contact me so that I may direct either insurance company to handle the issue in the most time effect way possible. This RV come with a E450 engine that is designed to last over 500K miles however the most common issue pertains to flat tires or leaking stems which are quickly resolved. I only ask that the renter does not try to do onsite repairs but allow a trained roadside technician to do so.

Trouble Shooting:

1) Generator will not produce AC power: On the vehicle are breaker located below the sink. Often these breaker will go if there are two many devices running at once. If the breakers did not go, please check the GFI on the power outlet in the bathroom. If there is still no power, the breaker on the generator may have gone out. You will need to access generator and remove the main panel in order to access the breaker switch.

2) House Battery Died: Just start the engine of the RV and it will link with the house battery in the back to begin charging it.

3) Electrical Components not working; Check the GFI in the bathroom along with the breaker panel under the dinette table .
