sewer

Just went on our first shakedown cruise and I have a few questions for you veterans--We have a sewer hook-up and I just want to know how it diverts from the holding tank--is there a valve you switch?---also we don't get very good reception from our radio--anyone else have that problem--Thanks

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking so I'll give a long explanation.  There are two holding tanks on pods for waste; a black water tank (for the toilet) and a grey water tank for the sink and shower.  Each tank has it's own outlet on the street side of the pod, probably fore and aft of the axle.  Take the cap off, one at a time, black tank first, hook up your sewer hose, put the other end in the receptacle for the waste, pull the T-handle out and the sewage will come gushing out.  When everything is out of the black tank, close the valve, take the hose off and put the cap back on.  Move to the grey tank outlet and repeat.  Rinse your hose and any mess you may have made at the dump station.

Thanks for the info---I was doing it right--just got a little confused--How come this happens?--I'm only 70  

BTW, the signal booster needs to be off if you're connecting to campground cable TV.

Hi--me again--the tv is on the wall just inside the door and I can't see any button near the connectors--the radio is on the wall over the bed--I have a r177--would this make a difference?
