    Fresh Water Tank Fill Indicator?

    Hello - We recently purchased a 2023 Rockwood A213HW. Bought it new - had been sitting on the lot for over a year. How do you tell when you've filled the fresh water tank without accidentally overflowing it? Thanks. Bev28

    Blk and gray tanks joined, but not

    I joined the black and gray water tanks at the outlet with a Valterra Waste Valve for RV Black Water Tank - Twist On T-58 etrailer part#. Opened both gray and black to link them. Only gray tank lights show water in them. I thought they should level out with equal water in each. Confused?

    Hi all, feel like I'm posting here a lot lately but can't argue that the community support and information is really helpful! Anyway, I was just prepping our 2018 201BHXL for the weekend and wanted to just flush the lines from the fresh water tank with a quick spray before we go to ensure...

    water tank straps failing/ missing one?

    During maintenance I noticed the water tank was sitting lower between the axles. The one strap in the front was bowed to the point it was hitting the front axle. I saw some welds that I believe held another cross brace ( strap) . Was there one there before, I do not know. I feel confident these...

    When to dump tanks

    I’m on a cross country trip staying in a campground for a couple nights at a time. I barely get to 1/4 tank on black. And maybe 1/2 on gray. Do I need to dump each time or can I just roll on to my next campground and dump tanks when they get a little more full?

    Black tank sensors

    This is my second camp out with my recently purchased camper. For nearly the entire past 4 days my black tank read 2/3 full despite having a sewer connection and valve open. I checked it and there was flow when we flushed the toilet. Today, prior ro leaving we flushed the black tank using the...

    2024 Salem Villa 353flfb grey tank

    We just got our 2024 Salem Villa 353flfb. The grey tank only holds about 10 gallons and then starts to back up into the shower. Is there a valve that we need to turn to get this to drain into the grey tank? Any ideas? I have been trying to call Forest River and they have not returned my call!

    2018 Apex 215RBK fresh water tank specs / photos

    Hi all, the tittle says it all. I lost my fresh water tank on the highway last weekend and absent mindedly threw it away before taking pictures and measurements. I'm hoping someone here has a similar rig and would be willing to share those details. Many thanks.

    Fresh water tank drain leaking

    We have a 2022 Vibe 34BH. Just opened up for the season two weeks ago and this weekend we noticed that the drain pipe for the fresh water tank was not only dripping but there was also running down the outside of the pipe! We have never touched the fresh water tank as we’ve been hooked up to...

    2020 Wolf PupRJB Black Water Tank Flush?

    I am really new to the RV world. I have owned my Wolf Pup 28RJB for about a week. We went camping for 3 days on the day we got it and upon arriving back in town, realized we had no idea how to empty the black water and grey water tanks. A quick search on Google and we were able to get them...

    Black tank questions

    I have a 2018 2291s. I was able to get a camera into my black tank and saw some stuff I didn't recognize. Anyone know what the following items are? - There are 2 tubes that are sticking into the tank from the top. These are not tank level sensors, as I have 4 of those elsewhere in the tank...

    Black water tank - shows empty when full

    Bought a 2017 Sunseeker 2500TS late last year, and never used it long enough to bring the waste tanks up until this season. Imagine my surprise when the black water tank was full, but still showed empty! After a LOT of searching, found these badly made tank sensors. There is a plastic sleeve...

    Where is the Drain for the fresh water Tank?

    Where is the fresh water tank drain on my 2022 Coachmen 22XG motorhome, I have rolled in the dirt under this monster, nothing! Forest River/Coachmen did a nice job of hiding a simple piece of equipment.

    Leaving hot water tank on full time

    Curious if others do the same. Suburban SW6DE so propane/electric. We are a late 50s couple looking to retire next year and go to full time RV living so as an experiment to see if we can stand each other we are spending as much time as possible this summer in our Cherokee 39RL. I used to be...

    Any other way to calibrate fresh tank sensor?

    I just filled my fresh tank all the way for perhaps the first time (we're going on a boondocking trip this weekend), it's showing 80% and water is coming out the overflow. Looking under the bed I can see it's quite full, I read the manuals on-line and it said the sensor would auto-calibrate when...

    Finally got my black/grey tank sensors clean

    Like most everyone here I've always has a problem with the black and grey tank sensors showing at least 1/3 full even after dumping the tanks. Before driving to Florida last fall I tried the Bio-Geo method for drive-cleaning the tanks hoping the moving motion would clean the sensors. Upon...

    2024 18RRBL fresh water tank siphoning

    The last trip I filled the tank and ran out in 2 days without taking a shower in the trailer. Kind of surprising. I did some research and found that it is common to lose 1/2 your water while driving. The solution seems to be to put a valve on the end of the overflow line. Seems easy. But... I'm...

    FW Tank Draining Ideas

    We store our ‘23 Rockwood TT at my cousin’s farm. I have no access to water there so we dewinterize and sanitize at a full hookup site at a nearby KOA. This new Rockwood has the large (2”?) drain valve which is great for emptying the FW tank quickly but at a campground I don’t want to just dump...

    Gray tank filling

    Hello fellow RV'ers, New to the forum, in hopes of figuring out what's going on with my Arctic Wolf 26dbh-l. I dewinterized this morning, and ran water through the lines cleaning out the antifreeze using the city water hook up. I then drained the tanks and closed everything up. I left the...

    Fresh water tank sensors

    My fresh water tank sensors read full all the time. 2006 Forester 2651 I put a cup of bleach in to do a sanitize fill. I filled it up and the faucet run for a few before letting it sit. Came back out a few hours later drained the tank at the drain and sensors still show full. Maybe a wiring...
