    Winterizing & Black Water Tank

    After dumping and flushing the black water tank, we always pump back in 5 or so gallons. For winterizing, does everyone completely drain the tank or just put some rv antifreeze down the toilet? Also, do most leave the grey tank valves open or closed? I figure I can leave the valve open and put...

    Black water valve ripped off

    I just purchased a 2024 Forest River alpha Wolf. I had to back it into a field to park it. When I did the long grass ripped the valve off the black water tank and the grey water tank. Is there a way to fix this on my own or will I need to bring it in? The valves seemed excessively long to begin...

    Manual Black Water Valve

    I have a two year old unit and I have had the cable on the black water valve kink up and bend the handle twice. I have asked my service tech to change this valve out to an electric valve. He tells me this is not a guarantee fix and that I don't want to do this. Has anyone done this and what were...

    Black Water Level Indicator

    Not sure when it started, but certainly the first time the BWT got more than 1/2 full, when it was drained it continued to indicate 1/3 full. I have done 3 rounds of BWT Flushing and no change. Things I am considering. Use a wand through the toilet to flush it. (Difficult logistically to get a...

    Grey and Black Water Valve Sizes for Replacement 2015 351DS

    The handle (and metal rod) popped out on the grey water valve on my 2015 351DS. And while I got it popped back in, I figure the best thing to do is to replace both valves before it becomes worse and I can't open the grey (or worse, the black) valves. I also figure if I do one I might as well do...
