Cleaning the Plumbing and Tanks of the NuCamp 320 s
Cleaning the plumbing and tanks of a NuCamp 320 S is an important part of regular maintenance to ensure that the camper’s plumbing system functions properly and stays free of debris and odors. Here are the steps to clean the plumbing and tanks of a NuCamp 320 S:
Drain the tanks: Start by draining the black and gray water tanks. To do this, locate the drain valves for the black and gray tanks and open them. Allow the tanks to completely drain out before proceeding to the next step.
Add cleaning solution: Choose a high-quality RV-specific cleaning solution and add it to the black water tank. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the amount to use.
Add water: Fill the black water tank with water, using a garden hose or other water source. You should fill the tank about 2/3 full.
Drive the camper: Drive the camper around for a while, making sure to take turns and go over bumps to help agitate the cleaning solution and water mixture.
Drain the tank again: Once you have driven the camper around for a while, return to a dump station and drain the black and gray water tanks again.
Rinse the tanks: After draining the tanks, rinse them out thoroughly with fresh water. You can do this by adding water to the tanks and then draining them again.
Clean the plumbing: To clean the plumbing system, you can use a specialized RV plumbing cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Add the cleaner to the fresh water tank, then fill the tank with water and run the faucets until the cleaning solution has circulated through the system. Drain the tanks and rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
Monitor tank sensors: After cleaning the tanks, monitor the tank sensors to ensure they are reading accurately. If they are still showing a high level of waste or debris, you may need to repeat the cleaning process or use a more powerful cleaning solution.
Regularly cleaning the plumbing and tanks of your NuCamp 320 S can help ensure that your camping trips are odor-free and that your plumbing system functions properly. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and to use high-quality, RV-specific cleaning solutions for the best results.
