I can not find much for any...

    Hi folks. I just bought a 2021 palomino palomini 186rbs and took it to Jordan lake, n.c. for it's maiden voyage for 5 days. My site only had water and power. No sewer. So, I had to keep it in the tank. It was just me so it didn't get full. Anyway, when I got home, where I have access to my...

    Flushing black tank

    I dont have a black tank flush connection on my roo. I am thinking of adding a small access door to the drivers rear of camper so I can stick a hose thru into the bathroom. Using the toilet valve is slow and cumbersome if I have water in the tank. Sometimes I use a 5 gallon bucket and dump water...

    2014 Sunseeker 2650 S Black tank flush

    Dumped my black tank for the first time and used the BTF. New to me so not sure what to expect. Turned on the water and expected water to begin flowing out the hose into the sewer. Nothing showed after about 30 seconds. I could hear the unit making noise. Concerned that I was pumping water and...

    Black tank no reading

    Just finished first trip on my new 2146BHX and the black tank panel just shows empty all the time, never gets a reading despite filling approximately halfway with water just to test. All other tanks read correctly so it’s not a control panel issue. I’ve had campers and know how to tell when...

    Black and Gray Tank management while parked

    Hello, I'll be parked for quite a while with full hookups. ...Is there any reason why I should have either the Black or Gray valves closed? I ask because when I leave the Black open, the smell is reduced quite substantially, but didn't know if that caused any other concerns? ...including...

    Black tank flush not working

    Hi everyone, So this past week, I took my new Forester out for it's first real week long adventure. After I emptied the black tank, I went to use the tank flush and it did not work. You can hear the system pressurize and then just stop. Removing the hose, the water leaks out (about as much as...

    Black tank won’t drain

    My buddy has a 2013 Fleetwood Storm and black water tank won’t empty and it is full. When opening the black tank valve, it sounds like a small amount may come out, very small amount but doesn’t empty. Any thoughts to help him?

    My single axle Apex Nano 185BH has been serving my family well at the full hook up sites. However, I am planned up for dry camping for this coming summer and lack of cargo carrying capacity and low GAWR of 3500 gets me very concerned. CCC of my trailer is only 531 lbs and for last camping I...

    2018 Cardinal Estate 3850 grey/black tank smell in coach

    I posted similar back in 2019 about sewer smell in my coach. Since then I have replaced the stud or vent under the kitchen sink, replaced the p-trap for the bath sink and shower to HEPVO drains. We have had small off and on issues but only during hot weather camping, which we don’t do a lot of...

    I have a leak between my black tank and the flush line connector. Does anyone know how the actual connector the elbow is connected to secures to the tank itself? How would I go about replacing or repairing it? Thanks!

    Black Tank Cap "Rubber Seal" Lubricant

    I am having a hard time getting the cap (cover) off the end of the drain pipe before dumping black tank. Is there a lubricant you can put on the black cap rubber seal so it will turn easier. I have one of those wrenches to twist the cap off, but thought a lubricant would help. I have a 2018...

    black tank knife valve leaking

    While at the RV dump yesterday, I removed the "termination cap" from the drain and got a small flow of "black water" that spilled out. I assume the black water knife valve is defective and allowing waste water to leak even though the valve is and was firmly closed. Are replacement knife valves...

    Black tank

    I have an 2018 Isata 3 CB. It appears the only thing draining into the grey tank is the shower. Is this correct? The kitten sink and bathroom sink both drain into black tank. You would think I would have figured this out after 3 years ha.
