    Black Tank - How empty is empty?

    Hey all. Trying to help my next door camper. He's convinced his black tank is blocked because there is about an inch of water at the bottom after emptying. I told him that after 2 nights with 2 adults + 2 kids then emptying results in 1 inch of black water, you're probably fine. Next week...

    Black tank flush leak inside 2506S

    I have a vacuum breaker or air admittance valve leaking inside when I tried to flush the black tank. Thankfully someone was inside and I shut the water off.
