    Black water tank fills with no usage

    Greetings! We are full time for the past two months, and we have a strange issue. 2019 Coachmen Mirada 35LS, bath and a half. We made the decision to use the half bath as the primary for "black water usage" as we do not have a direct way to empty the holding tanks except by using a tote. We do...

    Adding a black water flush??

    I see some of the fancier campers have a black water flush connection. Our camper blank tank sensor has only read correctly twice in it's life. Once when new and once after I borrowed some whirly spray nozzle from a neighbor. Worked great, but I don't like the idea of dragging a hose into my...

    Black Tank Flush Connection

    Good Afternoon When I connect the hose to flush out the black water tank, nothing is coming out, I have to run a hose trough the toilet to flush it, I am missing a step in the procedure.

    Leak in the black water valve

    Our rig has a electrically activated black water valve. I see that there is a servo mechanism that open and closes a "hand" operated valve. I haven't spent any time looking into it in detail but I did give the handle a push and it didn't feel push further into the seat. Anything I should be...

    Morning all, camping up in the Northern Cali mountains with the family and our brand new Alpha Wolf’s black Water won’t drain. Never been used so shouldn’t be clogged. Grey drains fine. Pull the valves and it’s like it’s not attached to anything. 2 bathrooms. Back one drained a little but...

    Draining Black Water at Seasonal Site

    Hi Everyone! We have a Chaparral 5th Wheel and since COVID hit have been stationary at a seasonal site in an RV park. A plumber told us always to leave the black water valve OPEN since we are not moving and hooked up to an outside holding tank at risk of sedimentation. Is this correct? I thought...

    2021 Salem FSX 178BHSK. Do I need to use a pressure regulator at the black water supply spigot (pump handle-type water supply, so I am sure it is fairly high pressure) at a truck stop dump station before connecting my black water flush garden hose to the water spigot and then connecting to...

    Black Water Tank

    Hey all, I have an R-Pod 179. Last trip I emptied the black and gray tanks. Even had time to flush the black tank. Getting ready for my next trip I check the panel inside and it says my black tank is 3/4 full! Any ideas? Bad sensor? The last dump site wasn't level?

    Black water level sensor broke?

    Went on my first trip, basically a short hop, 2 nights. The black water tank stayed at essentially E the whole time, whereas I had to dump the gray water tank a few times. I did eventually dump the black tank, and while it didn't take very long to discharge, I couldn't help but think maybe the...

    Rear Black Water Tank always shows full

    After our last trip in March we went away last weekend. For some reason the rear black water tank always shows full even after it is completely empty. Is there some sort of fix for this. Thanks in advance

    Toilet / black tank clog?

    My question is mainly how do I unclog my toilet but I’ll give the history below in case the background info is helpful. I bought a used 2018 Vintage Cruiser 23RSS last Dec. I discovered the sensor was reading 2/3 full but the prior owner said she never used it. She had bought it from a...

    Black Water Valve

    Hope this is an easy one here. My CC Silverback 35IK after sitting all summer and winter has a black valve handle that is stuck. Can I spray a penetrant that will help release the handle? Once it can pulled out and pushed back in I can spray some silicone grease on it to ease operation. Any ideas??

    I own a 2021 Alta 2850KRL and my sink drain goes to my black water tank instead of the grey water tank. Found out the hard way - I just happened to flush the toilet while my wife was draining the sink. The tank was pretty full and the pressure caused by a the sink water going into the black...

    Black Water Tank Level Sensors Screwy

    This is Kay's and my first year full-timing. We love the life, even though this winter has been a challenge. Nothing like taking a drink from a firehouse for a quick leaning experience. We sold the house in San Diego and haven't looked back. We've driven cross country at least 3 times this and...
