    Sewer lines have a small drip on the black tank side

    My RV tech was checking out a small drip from my sewer lines and just told me the leaking was caused by a small crack in one pipe. This is an older 2005 Sunseeker 2900 LTD motorhome and she's getting pretty long in the tooth. After talking with him, we decided to go ahead and replace the...

    Black Tank Sensors - puzzle

    I know this subject has been beaten to death, but I couldn't find the answer I'm seeking, so here I am. I'm trying to understand more than fix in this case. I'm not sure the problem can be fixed. We boondock exclusively, and we often stretch our black tank to at least 7 full days. If...

    I have 1989 Rockwood class C. My 3 sensor wires go into one wire that’s white with black stripe. It has came loose and I cannot find the other end to ur. This is not a ground because it’s already hooked up. I figure it is a power wire going to monitor. Ty for any help.

    Gray/Black tank leak

    I'm new to emptying RV tanks so I am not sure what to make of this.... I emptied the RV twice this week for the first time. On both occasions when I took the cap of the empty port (empties both gray and black tanks) there was a small amount of water that immediately poured out. The black and...

    What is size of my black tank?

    Is there a way to determine the capacity of my black tank in my 2014 Forest River Wildcat Maxx 27RLS? I’ve searched through all of the original purchase paperwork & cannot find that info any there or anywhere inside the trailer. By looking up similar models online, it appears to be 32 gallon...

    Do I need to dump unused Black Tank

    I have purchased a new 2022 Rockwood Roo. I am its first user and brand new to the use of fresh water and black tanks on an RV. The introduction to their use was much to quick to absorb the information. The Roo came with the fresh water tank full, and water and chemicals were in the black tank...

    Black tank flush

    Our 369bl is brand new and the black tank flush doesn’t work. I keep reading that the vacuum part under bathroom sink is probably backwards. We have switched it and it still doesn’t work. Any ideas?

    Hi - we have a 2022 PrimeTime Tracer and used the black tank flush for the first time a few weeks ago. After hooking up the hose and opening the black tank, nothing was happening and eventually water was pouring out from underneath the trailer (close to where the hose goes in for the flush)...

    New black tank story to my list. Connected hose to the black tank flush vs. tank fill.

    New rig and all, but it’s not justification for this bad of a muck up as we’ve owned it for nearly 2 months and I’ve filled the tank, dumped the sewer, and flushed the sewer more than a few times now. It was truly just a brain dead moment. I connected my hose to the black tank flush and set a 5...

    sticky grey/black tank valves

    I have a 2016 MBS 2401W Finally got tired of pulling a muscle trying to open/close tank valves, so I bought new ones. To make a long story short (after hours on my back under the rig, and a $500 payment to a RV home service guy) Here is my advice. Your valves are probably OK...mine were. But...

    Shower Plumbed To Black Tank

    I purchased my 2014 XLR Hyperlite 30HFS5 last June. I am the 3rd owner of this camper. I recently flushed all the tanks and lines for summer service. When I did I noticed that the shower is actually plumbed into the black tank. I verified this by completely flushing the black tank and then...

    Gray going into the black tank

    We have a 2017 Freelander 27QB and had it winterized by Camping World. Took it out this past week and the black tank filled after 2 days. When we went to dump we had nothing in the gray tank as it all flowed into the black. Any idea why this can happen. It worked fine when we used it last...

    Black Tank Flush not working

    All of a sudden, the tank flush isn’t working. The garden hose pressurizes but you can’t hear water going into the tank. I can’t imagine that “tank debris” could plug it up enough to hold back 40-60psi water pressure. I don’t see a check valve in the line for as far as I can see but, I think...
