    Disconnecting Black Tank Drain from Tank

    I cannot figure out how to remove the drain plubing from the black tank. It appears that the tank has a molded 3 inch pipe that is attached to the abs plumbing. A metal band was around part of it, but it is lossened and nothing really moves. Some type of black putty appears to hold the abs...

    Fresh water tank won't drain?

    I've drained it several times following sanitization, including about three or four months ago. Remove the cap and get drenched. Today I removed the cap and nothing came out. The visible water level (through the tank translucent wall) was about 1/3rd full. All faucets inside were open to allow...

    Gray water drain hose

    Buying my first pup in a few weeks and it does not have a gray water tank, just a garden hose outlet. Is there any reason I should buy a special hose for this or will any old garden hose work?

    Freshwater Drain?

    I tried to drain the freshwater tank in my Coachman Pursuit 29SS in preparation for winterizing and thought the drain valve in the picture (located on the input side of the water pump) would do it. I opened the valve, water came out, but upon completion my freshwater tank shows 1/3 full? I...

    Geo Pro G19FBS Sink Drainage Question

    I have been out for the last 3 nights and this morning the kitchen sink did not drain. I don't think the gray tank was full but as sensors seem to show full when the tank is only half full I really don't know. I dumped the gray tank and it drained and is working again. Any ideas what this...

    It is a long story but my black tank developed a leak which required replacement. The OEM tank for my Coachmen Freedom Express Ultra Lite was seriously back ordered. The RV shop chose a generic replacement tank. The final configuration they went with resulted in 5.5" clearance between the...

    Shower stopped not draining on new 3850RK

    Hello – I’ve been living in my new 3850RK for about 2 weeks now, and the shower suddenly stopped draining. The "drain" is a long, rectangular metal strip in the back of the shower, and it doesn't seem to want to flip up or out. I don’t see any paper instruction manual for it, or any articles...

    Coleman Mach drain collapsed

    Our 6 month old Berkshire 2021 34B front A/C was no longer draining through the front condensate line and instead dripping by the entry door. I assumed a lot of dirt and leaves were clogging it. When I removed the shroud and opened the front access port to view the condensate pump, I could...

    Shower drain pipe removal

    How do I get this piece off? Is there a certain tool required? My shower leaks so I've gone all the way back to this last piece for removal. I can get the piece to spin but not loosen. I figure once it's off I'll need some plumbers putty under the drain the shower to help keep it from leaking?

    Fresh water drain Tee

    On my 2010 1809s, the water supply hose on the fresh water tank, is not on the bottom. It’s approximately 2 inches up the side of the tank, so when the water level gets down to below 1/3 full, it begins sucking air. One recommendation on another post was to cap off the existing supply line...

    4007 kitchen sink draining slowly

    Has anyone else have issues with the kitchen sink stop draining when it hits about 2/3 full? I think I have found the issue. It's not vented correctly. The "vent" they used is an air inclusion valve. Basically a check valve. Air can go in but not out. Good thing to not have those stinky gasses...
