    I purchased a Cardinal 30TS a few weeks ago from a dealership. During the final look over we did not go over flushing the tanks, but I was not too worried about that as I have done it on family TT growing up. Only problem is I now realize this trailer does not have a slide gate at the end of...

    Looking to snow bird in Florida for the winters. Trying to avoid cramped over priced rv parks.

    Black Tank Flush Pressure

    Our 2021 Alpha Wolf has the black tank flush hookup. Does anyone use an old pressure regulator when hooking the flush hose to flush the tank.
