    Black tank valve leaking and other "stuff"

    Have been getting some bypass of the sanitary valve which is messy and embarrassing when we dumped. I order new seals and replaced today. Our unit is an ex rental and I think that explains the piece of cloth I found stuck in the valve. Our valve is controlled by an electric servo that opens and...

    Towing With Full Black Tank

    Another question or I'm looking for reassurance... I want to clean out my black tank, like deep clean it. Yes I emptied and flushed it before we left the campground. I want to do this at home, add some Commando cleaner and fill the tank with water. It's it safe to pull the trailer with a full...

    Connecting Garden Hose to Black Tank Flush Connection

    What am I missing here? So I've used my dedicated 15' hose a hundred times...attaching it to this connection and tightening it perfectly. This last time I could not get it to tightly connect and it spewed like a hose at a water park. I inspected the edge and determined that it looked like the...

    Black tank flush

    First post so hopefully I don't get bashed too hard. I did try to search every possible way I could think of. I am borrowing my stepdad's 2019 25RQGMX and am trying to figure out if what I'm looking at is a black tank flush hookup. There are a total of 3 water hose connections on it, 2 over on...

    Plastic disc in black tank

    What the...? I just bought a 2018 Sonoma 220MBH from a nice couple in their late 60s. They bought upgrades and an 8 yr extended warranty (dang sales people!!) Anyway, the previous owners only used the rv about 5 times max. Five months out of its first year, it was all warranty work. I have the...

    My wife and I just bought a new Chateau 26B and are excited about exploring the country! We've been boaters all our lives and decided now was the time to explore land for a while.

    Dumping tanks

    I was enjoying the thread about black tank mishaps (I have been lucky so far) and was interested in your opinion about using the landing gear to "tip" the 2020 Precept 34G to the left to enable more efficient tank emptying. After our camping, I feel I'm getting good flow but when looking into...

    Black Tank Flush Nozzle Access

    Hi, I have a Forester 2015 2861DS. The black tank flush is not working. Already verified that the anti-syphon valve is working and am now trying to see if there is access to the nozzle itself. I am thinking that it may be in the 4" x 4" box than runs across the side wall behind the toilet...

    I have a 2009 cardinal 3515, inside the outdoor shower box are where my handles are for the black tank and the grey tanks. Well about two feet back from there on the main line is another handle. What is that for and can I leave it open? Thanks for the help.

    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...

    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.

    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...
