    Black water valve troubles

    So I bought a used 2000 FR Grand Surveyor in really good condition. The owner did tell me that one of the dump valves had a leak and to be careful when taking the cap off of the dump line. After checking both of the valves out I found that actually both of the dump valves had leaks, so let's...

    2012 SV-305 Black Water Valve

    We just purchased this model. There are two valves at the "sewer dump" location on the SV-305. One on the left and one on the right. I swear the dealer said never to open the valve on the left? Is that true? Does the right valve control both the grey water and black water? Thank you.

    2011 355QBQ Black Water Flush Check Valve Leak

    For the second time my black water flush check valve (backflow preventor) is leaking. I had an RV service center fix it the last time, but want to do it myself this time. Problem is, I can't locate the access point to the valve. It is the front black water tank flush check valve that is leaking...

    We're off to Algonquin

    Our inaugural trip with the new tt this weekend. One campground is open in Algonquin. Should get some good hikes in - calling for sunny days. This will also be the first time dumping black water. Hopefully we don't have too many big adventures.

    Some black water came out when I opened my drain pipe cap

    When I pulled up the dump station this weekend for the first time ever, I opened the cap on my sewer drain pipe and a small amount of liquid poured out. It had obviously leaked past the black tank valve and was just sitting against the drain cap. Thank god I had my gloves on! Any idea what...

    How do you remove black water tank?

    Appears to have been installed on top of frame rail then floor installed ? How do you drop the various water tanks to gain access to the underside of the trailer?

    PVC Drainage for Grey and Black water

    Hi I'm a newbie!! Just bought a 2011 flagstaff HW 25 SC popup camper. Love it!! Question is: Black and grey emptying of tanks is awkward. There is usually only one sewer drain in most camping locations, so how can we configure a "y" connection for both tanks to drain into sewer pipe at...

    Black water tank

    Dumped the blackwater and we hooked up a hose to the black tank rince outlet. How long should we rince it for? I saw no water coming out. How much liquid is left ib the black tank after dumping? Is there a way to completely empty it or is it better not to?

    Draining the black water

    We have had numerous trailers with black water tanks. With our new Rockwood 5er when I open the black water to empty the tank it seems the hose fills up then stops draining as if there is an air lock. I manually lift the hose and work the liquid to the sewer connection, get a gulping sound of...

    Black water tank plugged

    I bought a 2004 All American Sport 38' 5er. Used the bathroom, filled up after 3 days with 2 of us using part time. Drove it 350 miles home, hoping the sloshing would loosen stuff up. Drained about 3-5 gallons out, but the water in the toilet has not gone down at all after sitting all night...

    Black water tank flush

    The idea of pulling a garden hose into the bathroom to flush the tank, not too appealing to me. For about $15 i bought this handy device. I did not the buy the one that claims to turn. Most reviews were negative. This one just sprays the inside of the tank from static holes drilled in the...

    black water flush

    Black Water Flush Leaks

    We have a Rockwood 8296 and have found that the black water flush, after it runs for a few minutes, will begin to leak water out the back of the trailer. Not sure where it is coming from. Leak is not at the point where the hose is connected...it is actually at the rear of the trailer, under...

Screw in hose...
