Dumping Rv Tanks How To

Do you know how to properly dump your RV tanks ? If not then read on. To dump your black water tank wait until it is at least 3/4 to full before dumping. If you dump with any less it wont get properly flushed out. Waste will build up in the bottom forming a hard substance that will prevent you from being able to dump your tank all the way. One thing to always remember when dumping is to dump only in proper dumping stations. It is illegal to do so in any other places.

Pull your RV up so that your dump port is next to the dumping receptacle. Connect your black water hose to your RV and the other end to the dump station port. Make sure that it is connected before starting to dump. To check this just pull on it slightly. Also check that the rinse hose is working before starting to dump. We like to wear gloves before the next few steps.

After all hoses have been checked pull the switch to start dumping. Start with the black water first, then the Grey water to rinse some of the material out. If your not sure which is the black water tank and which is Grey water, black water hose connection is always bigger and Grey water littler.

When all black water is emptied close the valve. Open Grey water then. Once tanks are all emptied pick up the hose starting at the RV and let remaining fluids drain out toward dump receptacle. Unhook black water hose from RV. Leave hose attached to dump receptacle and rinse it out well with rinse hoses.
That's all there is to dumping your tanks. Once back home be sure to keep deodorants in both black and Grey tanks to keep down odors.
