black water

I'm the proud owner of a 2012 Berkshire 390FL. I bought it used about 4 months ago and tried using the black tank flush today. It sounded like water was spraying into the tank but nothing was coming out of my drain line. After a couple minutes I noticed water dripping from the storage...

I'm seeing in the forums a lot of different ways to keep the black tank when not in use. Some people leave a few gallons of water in it, some do not. Others add soap. My TT is parked next to my house and I'm taking it out camping about one weekend per month. I'm using the Geo method to dump...

Does anyone know how hard it is to get the second blackwater tank in the rear on a Thunderbolt 425 I want to add a black tank flush to it?

:crying: My black water valve (cable??) is not working. I have pulled the cable open and nothing happens ,the cable will not push back in. Has any one opened up the bottom of their trailer to get to the spot that the cable and valve hook up. I think the cable has slipped on the valve. now I have...

we moved from one rv park to another today. when we left I drained the black and gray tanks. I flushed the black tank using the flush hose connection. I turned off the flush water and let the black tank drain until there was no water coming out of the tank (watched it via a clear plastic...

I just tried to drain my black water tank for the first time this past weekend. Can someone tell me how to properly use the flush out for the black water tank? A note near the water connection says not to use it without having the "#$@%" valve in the open position. I don't remember the...

Hello all. I'm new to the site. I just purchased a 2010 Rockwood HW296 last month and the family is loving it. I have used the forum to search about options for connecting the gray and black water drains and look forward to using some of the advice. My question is, is/was there (supposed to...

Got one from Camping World on sale and used it the first time this week. Tank was very full and the pump over heated and stopped but I let it cool off and it worked fine. Just don't run without a cool down if your tank is pretty full.

Best way to clean after lowering the pup down?

I remember reading a thread that recommended using water softener in the Blackwater tank to keep things from sticking to the side of the tank. The thread made a lot of sense so I picked up a bottle. My problem is I can't find that thread now. I don't remember how much they recommended using...

Can someone tell me how to access the automatic valve on my cedar creek 5th wheel. It does not completely close thereby leaking slightly. Is there a trick to free up the seal Jimbo

We own a 2014 Shasta Oasis 26RL. We are unable to use the toilet because when you flush the toilet, the waste empties onto the top the the black water tank. The solids do not go into the tank. They just back up into the toilet. We bought the camper from Camping World and they say that it is...

Columbus 325RL, had problems with black water drain since purchase of RV. Black water drains into drain tube with valve closed. Dealer drained and flushed system and said it was something in valve. Next replaced black water valve and still leaks. Replaced drain cable and worked for a while...

Perhaps a silly question, but why does the manual require the black water tank valves be open when doing a black water flush. Surely the tank is vented. Is the concern backing up the system through the toilet? I much rather fill it and let it flush out, than just run water through the bottom...

I am new to RV.... I filled my black water as I was told to fill it before dumping . I filled it and noticed there was water leaking under my RV. The water appeared to be clear with no odor. After dumping the black water I have not noticed any more leaking. Is there an overflow? Why did...

Need help, I have a Vibe 6505 travel trailer which I have used twice since purchasing it last spring. First outing no problem, rinsed tank by flushing it and used the dump site. (Used it only to urinate if on this trip.) Last week used it for our second excursion. Hooked up to sewer this trip...

Hello all, I am new to the forum and just purchased a used 2014 XLR Hyerlite 29FHS. Nothing happens when the hose is hooked up to the black water flush. I would like to try changing the valve. Anyone here know the specific location? Thank you

2016 xlr nitro 39dkS5, 1st trip out this weekend, went to dump and was greeted with a couple gallons of black water. we've never had a fifth wheel before so I thought maybe I hit the valve or the wife did or one of the kids. I decided it must've been a fluke, pulled it home, after cleaning it...

I have a Salem FLBK 38 ft.. the black water tank for the first 4 years of the campers use was left open to the sewer while they used it. I read this is a bad no no. So after i took owner ship, i closed it and treated it until i closed the camper for the winter. i will continue to do this going...

We have purchased a used Puma and although it's empty the panel says 3/4 full. I understand that this is a common problem but I'd kinda like to get it working. My fear is that a piece of "something" has stuck and dried to the sensor. Here's what I'm thinking. 1 cup water softener, 1 cup...

I have a 2012 Solera, and as already noted by others, the area in the tank flush area (black and gray water outlets) is quite narrow. I've been looking at the HydroFlush (45 and 90 degree angles) and the FlushKing, but doubt I could connect any of these in the space available. Would love to...

Last time out I emptied my blackwater tank, I used my blackwater flush by hooking a house to it with a pressure regulator. I let it run a few minutes then closed the valve and let it full for about a minute. Opened it and related this process a couple times. Everything was good,except when I...

I have a 2012 Sabre 31ckts, have been using it for one year, all was well. Last trip we discovered a leak in holding tank, because the underbelly filled with smelly water, not raw sewer more like water when youre rinsing it. We tested it and found out that it starts leaking when its half full...

We've just purchased a used trailer and I'm wondering what to use to keep my black water tank clean? I'm leaning towards installing a tornado flush lit. Thanks

... and I've drained it like 3 times, and it won't move the needle down. Anybody have similar issues? Suggestions? The grey tank works good. 2011 Rockwood Roo 233s
