Foot Operated RV Toilet Instructions

RV toilets are a useful amenity for modern campers.

Camping is an all-American pastime enjoyed by a variety of families, both those on a budget and those with plenty of resources. Even so, not everyone enjoys the roughing-it that is required for full-scale tent camping. Camping in a recreational vehicle is a nice compromise, providing the comfort and amenities that many prefer. Luckily, most RV parts and accessories are easy to operate, including the foot-operated RV toilet.

Things You'll Need

• Foot-operated toilet

Instructions

1. Place your foot on the foot pedal of the RV toilet. Look for this pedal on the bottom front or the side of the foot-operated toilet.

2. Press the foot pedal all the way down, draining both the solid and liquid waste from the RV toilet, as well as rinsing the bowl. Release the pedal.

3. Press the foot pedal half-way down to close the valve and fill the toilet with water. Release the pedal.

4. Allow any remaining waste matter to soak for 15-30 seconds.

5. Press the foot pedal all the way down again to empty the toilet bowl and rinse any remaining particles down the drain.

Tips & Warnings

• If you lose your RV toilet manual, most manufacturers will replace it free of charge or provide a downloadable version.
