black water

My first trip of the season was fantastic, but ended up serving me up with an bad situation at the dump station. I am a 30 year RV camping-vet and my rig is a 2011 Wildcat Sterling Fifth Wheel Series M-32RL. It began as the usual crappy job at he dump portal. I got everything all ready and...

I have a Cardinal 3450 5th wheel. The dump valve appears to be rather stiff. I am assuming it I the valve because I have checked the end where pull handle is. Trying to figure out if it can be accessed from top or if the underbelly has to be removed. I dread the thought of replacing by way of...

Hi there I have a 2017 Forest River Seirra 387 MKOK . Does anyone know about the black tanks 1 and 2. I can't get the black tank to drain. Help me please.

Does anyone know what would cause my black water indicator to show 2/3 and 1/3 full when it's empty? I was stuck on 2/3 and I secured all power to the unit including the battery cutoff switch and when I reapplied power and pushed the button the 2/3 lit and changed to 1/3 no it's back on 2/3. I...

Hello all. Our first time out in our new 2017 rock wood mini lite 2504s. Great weekend until it became time to rinse the black water tank. We hooked up the hose and pulled the black water valve open and all went to plan. Then the flow stopped. We closed the black water valve. We hooked up our...

I was flushing my tank a noticed water in the water heater compartment. When I got home I noticed it leaking above the water heater at the tank I'm wondering has anyone had this problem it looks like I might have pull the water heater to fix this leak. Any suggestions other than pulling water...

Went camping last weekend in our 2016 Palomino 318 tsbhk. Kept a close eye on tank levels just because ( first time in this camper). Noticed the black tank level never went above "E" . After 5 days, I looked down in the toilet and the level looked to be about where the pipe from the toilet...

Has anyone found anything that makes flushing the black water tank easier in these units? It doesn't appear that one of those rotating wands will work.

New Wildwood 393FLT and has a Blackwater 1 and a Blackwater 2 tanks, which one is for the toilet and what is the second Blackwater for? Also has a grey water tank, I know what that does

My black water tank always reads empty, even full. Been doing some research and these sensors are nothing like the normal ones I'm seeing, all 3 enter tank on top, looks like I'll damage them removing them. Anybody have any experience with these. 2006 Tsunami, 4104qs Thanks Nyle

We have a 2014 CKTS and this is the second time we have had trouble with black water cable. After the rain stops will investigate to see if it's another major issue. Very frustrating!

New owner of a BlueRidge and wonder if I should use a chemical additive to the black water tank? Even if I drain it and rinse weekly?

We have a 2017 Cardinal 3250RL, our two prior trailers had 50 gallon Black Water tanks, the 3250RL has a 40 gallon Black Water Tank. I have never experienced the black water tank being filled prior to this trailer. After emptying the black water tank & making sure it was as clean as I could...

I have a 2015 Rockwood Ultra Lite The black water valve works its way open as I travel down the road. When I get to my destination I have a mess while hooking up. The past few times I have duck taped so it won't work open. Can this be adjusted or do I need to replace?

Just purchased a 251RKS this week and the only thing I don't understand is the black water tank flush. There is nothing in my papers about this so I guess we just hook up a water hose, open the black water tank valve and flush? Question is for how long and is that it? thanks . . . .

I have a 2013 3170DS The Blackwater Flush is plugged up. I hook up the hose and nothing Any suggestions would be appreciated PS recently had an accident (some one reared ended me)and it took three months to get the right parts from forest river __________________

I just got a new 2109S and on our first trip during the Dump Station process found that when I run water into the Black Water Flush connection, nothing is going into the Black Water tank, instead it is running out of a little white hose coming down from the Trailer right next to the flush...

So dumping the tank on my 2015 Surveyor 292RETS I hook up the hose to the black water flush and nothing happens. Am I forgetting to do something?

So, my black water gate valve leaks (I get a splash when I take off the drain cover). I figure either the O ring is not seated or something is stuck (the valve actually works very smoothly). After draining and rinsing the tank and letting it sit for several days open, today I tried to remove...

This is our discovery, if anyone is having the same problem. We kept adding chemicals and that did not help! Here is our solutions HOLDING TANK ODOR IN TRAILER (with ample black water chemicals) Camping in Florida's 90 degree weather brings out odors. We noticed a strong odor in the...

New to this forum. I bought a 2015 Blue Ridge 3600RS about a year and a half ago when I needed to move from VA to Texas (work moved and family did not). My black water valve has always been hard to pull (Bristol cable type). Back in July I noted that the black water valve was leaking (not fully...

I have a 2015 cc36ckts and the cable for black water valve broke. Can I just replace cable or does the whole valve assembly need replaced? From what i can see it looks like a Lasselle valve.
