black tank

Any clue why the put the black tank flus on the opposite side of the dump valves on my rig style? I never use it because the hose doesn’t reach. Has anyone tried to relocate it?

Hello all, me and my wife are new to travel trailers. Most of my questions i was able to find in the other threads but one thing i had trouble with was the black tank. We will be doing a lot of weekend camping and want to use the convenience of our bathroom instead of the camp grounds. My...

The black tank flush seems to not be working on my camper. If I run water in the inlet, it may flow sporadically, but mostly I don't hear it filling. Second season, and I have used the flush valve with each use. Is this something I can repair myself? Is there any how-to resources out there...

So after 3 years of dealing with the front black tank open/close lever breaking, chaffing, just not working right...I took it in to a local RV repair shop to let them have a go at it, along with some other work that needed to be done. When I picked it up, I was amazed at how smooth the lever...

Good Afternoon, I hope I save some searching for someone. We were leaving our campsite the other day on our shake down cruise. After grey empty followed by black empty, I hooked up the maintenance hose to the black tank flush connection in the plumbing bay at the back of the coach. When I...

So the issue was that the cable that goes from the control panel down to the drain valve was corroded on the inside, due to the black water intake flush valve being located above all the tank drain valves (very poor design). So every time I disconnected, the water dripped down and got on the...

Need a little clarification on the order of occurrence with a black tank flush. 1st trip we kept black and grey closed for 2 days, wrapped up when heading out and flushed black first, then grey. Didn't use the black tank flush with old water hose. Not sure if we should do this everytime, or...

Hi All, After I empty and back flush the black tank, it still shows 1/3 on our 2019 DS3. The back flush water runs relatively clean after a bit. Bad sensor? Or I got something stuck down there creating a partial clog? Any suggestions?

We’re new owners of a 2205S. When we were getting ready to leave, I tried using the black tank flush, however, it seems the water did not spray at all. No water was coming out the sewer hose. I’m thinking the hose must be kinked somewhere. I checked under the bathroom sink and the back flow...

Hello, I was flushing my Black tank when I noticed a small amount of black tank water coming from a cutout underneath the camper. Pic... I hadn’t noticed it until I was flushing the 3rd time, it wasn’t dark water so I don’t think it was doing it before I emptied the tank and flushed. Do I...

So we have struggled with our dump tank valves since buying our Forrest River MBS. The valves have always been hard to open. We have really struggled with the blank tank valve. We had them replaced in March, our rig is only 4 years old. Went camping for the first time this week and the gray tank...

I have a 2005 Wildwood travel trailer. Our dog chewed the wires leading from the front of the camper (from the guage in the camper) and 4 wires hanging off the tanks. I'm trying to figure out how to put these back together. I know this is not a new topic and I have seen the wiring diagram...

Before I leave the campground, I clean and flush my black tank. On our drive home we need to go only #1 into the black tank. If my next use of the travel trailer is in about a month do I need to go to a dump station to flush the tank again when I get home? It would be great if I could wait until...

We have a 2019 Puma 31RLQS with an AC unit installed in the front (bedroom). This weekend my wife and I noticed a septic smell in our bedroom when someone would flush the toilet in the bathroom - don't notice the smell any other time. I think I may have pinpointed it, but wanted to get other's...

My wife and I own a large (37 ft) Class A motor home and the Black Tank has never registered empty. We bought the coach when it was four years old and had probably sat unused for an extended time. The problem with the sensors not reading correctly is that the "master" toilet is a Thetford...

Drained my black tank and the indicator light still shows 3/4 full. Now what?

Hi all! Tips for best practice - do you leave any water/treatment/other mix in the tanks after a trip and when your rig is stored? I add treatment to the thanks before a trip so things empty out well when we need to dump, but I can't seem to find any tips on whether to leave anything in the...

Hey guys. Bought a new to me 2015 Chaparral 324 trsk. One of the cables is broken to the valve on the tank. When you open the compartment with the plumbing connectors it is the top cable of the two. The handle is missing, the lower handle says "waste water" on it as does the rear one for the...

It seems like I should be able to hold all my newbie questions and ask all at once, but each time I visit this forum I learn something I should know about. Thank you all for that. Anyway, my G19FD has a black tank flush hose connection. Can I assume that is an installed internal spray wash or...

We purchased a 2020 Arctic Fox 5th wheel and would like suggestions of products to use to help coat the black tank to help with keeping it clean & the sensorsreading from failing.

We have a new (2019, bought March 2020) Cherokee 264ck. For background, my son is living in it full time with his family, 3 adults using the bathroom. Been lived in since March 5 2020, never had a problem dumping before. Always dump when tank is over 2/3 full. If we had a tow vehicle, we'd try...

I see all kinds of posts on here about folks flushing and cleaning their blank tanks. It seems that a lot of time and effort goes into cleaning the tank that is meant to hold poop. I will admit, I have been sucked in to this in the past, myslef. I have dumped a bag of ice in there on occasion...

I have a 2014 Sunseeker 3010DS that we absolutely love. I just noticed that there’s a small amount of water leaking from the black tank where the valve is attached. Is there something I can simply put on the leak or do I need to replace the valve? It looks like the leak is right where the...

My current motorhome and last one both had the same white garden hose connector for filling the fresh water tank and for flushing the black water tank. I personally know of three instances where other RVs intended to fill the fresh water tank and instead connected to the black water flush. The...

Was out at my 2019 FR3 33DS about two weeks ago and found that my toilet seal was missing. My DW and I think that when we were cleaning the RV after our last trip, she may have brushed the opening too hard and the toilet seal went down the drain into our black tank. I went to the RV today to...
