    34DS black tank question

    Just wondering how many black tanks the 34DS has. Some bath and a half motorhomes have separate black tanks and dump valves for each toilet. Since the 34DS has an electric toilet in the half bath hopefully it only has one black tank and dump. This motorhome is on our short list. Thanks.

    Black tank emptying pull rod

    Anyone having issues with black tank push/pull rod. It is a long rod because of distance to the toilet. The rod is thin and quite flimsy and wants to bend/bow. Has anyone bypassed this rod and modified the black tank valve?
