    RP-171, relocation of black water flush system atmospheric vacuum breaker/check valve

    Last year I had the flush system atmospheric vacuum breaker/check valve blow water between the bedroom and bathroom walls when trying to flush the black water tank. The proximal cause seems to have been a stink bug that managed to crawl into the vacuum breaker, preventing it from closing off...

    Black Water Flush Valve

    I have a 2018 Cedar Creek Hathaway. How can you tell if your black water valve if really working? Can hear water going in, but cant tell if it is spraying around like it is supposed to work.

    Black water rinse

    On my new sandpiper there is a black water flush inlet. Do I just hook up a hose and turn it on? How does it operate?

    Black water tank leak

    While camping without a sewer hookup I had the privilege of filling my black tank about 3/4 full when I noticed an odor in the large storage compartment. I thought I had a dead mouse. Later in the day the odor worked it's way into the RV interior. I realized it was sewer odor. I drained the...

    Black water flush not working?

    Newbie question/problem. I have been using my new '17 flagstaff 27bhws and love it. But can't figure out the black tank flush. I've hooked up water to the inlet valve on the side of camper. I've opened the tank valve and no water comes out into the drain hose into dump station. Is there another...

    Smell throughout RV when emptying black water tank

    Every time I empty the RV tank it smells through the whole RV is there something wrong that anybody had experience with? I don't have a problem when I flush it only when I empty the tank.

    Black water tank filling up

    Do I really have to keep my Septic dump valve closed until full? Even though I'm hooked up to city sewer full time?

    Flagstaff Micro Lite Gray/Black Tank Drain Height

    So I'm looking at buying our first RV and have narrowed it down to the Flagstaff Micro Lite 23 FBKS or Rockwood Mini Lite 2304KS. We were at a dealer yesterday looking at some used units and it sure looked like the height of the Gray and Black water drain caps were awfully low. To the point...

    Black water drain too low

    We have a 2016 24' Salem*241QBXL with a serious design flaw.* Although I try to be careful. almost half the entrances or exits at gas stations, WalMarts, etc. rip off the drain pipe cover because the pipe is near the rear and too close to the ground.* After replacing multiple covers, I'm leaving...

    Why It's Hard to Clean Black Water Tank Sensors

    Like most people, I have trouble cleaning my Black Water Tank sensors. Recently, I was doing some work on the passenger end of my water bay to install a gas lift strut. (Newer Berks open this sideways rather than up, and already have a strut.) The white vanity panel was getting in the way of...

    Just purchased a 2018 38FBD Hathaway Edition 5th Wheel with 1 1/2 baths. (Traded in our 2016 38el Champagne Edition). We really wanted the second bath room. Wow , we have two toilets and two 40 gallon black tanks. After dealing with issue of foul odors from 1/2 bath for a couple of months, we...

    Black water tank cleaning?

    Maybe a silly question, but I read on several sites, when you clean your black water tank with a flush wand that to unhook from city water and fresh water tank pump off, now none of these have anything to do with the black water system, someone enlighten me, it's got me scratching my head???

    Black water system

    Black Water Tank Horror

    Well, It happened. I dumped both tanks yesterday morning then rinsed the black water tank for about 20 seconds and decided to fill it and give it a final rinse. You guessed it! I got occupied with a Sunday morning church devotional for the kids and singing around the campfire and forgot about...

    Black water tank

    This is my first travel trailer and we will be going camping in it for the first time in a couple of weeks. The campsite is electric only. They do have a dump station though. I am going to be able to fill my fresh water tank. So, I was going to put a toilet bowl or two of water into the black...

    Black water deodorizers

    I have seen some different types of deodorizers out there to put in the toilet for the black water tank. There is one brand that comes in a box with little individual packets and you just put one of them in the toilet and flush. I think these will be the easiest. Can any of you recommend a type...

    The wife and I took ownership of a Wolf Pup 18TO a couple months ago. We are just finishing up our second trip and have run into a challenge..... The black water tank is filling up very, very quickly. It is filling up quicker than the gray water, despite usage of the kitchen sink quiet...

    Black water Grey Water Tanks

    OK, I own a 2004 Georgetown 326DS. This is our 5th year camping in it. No problems of any kind until this last trip. We were only out for 4 days. When we got home, I noticed the Black Tank gauge was registering full but the Grey Tank was registering empty. It's usually the other way around. So I...
