black tank

I purchased a 2019 East to West 25krb. We did a test run yesterday and discovered the shower was not draining. Turns out it was draining into the black tank??? I tested this several times by running the shower and then draining both the grey and black tanks. Sure enough it is plumbed into...

I am new to RVing and I have a 2010 Heritage Glen Wildwood. Which does not have a hose to backwash my black tank to make sure that is really clean. Is there another way to make sure you get all the waste out of the tank. I was thinking of sticking a hose in the toilet and letting it get 3/4 full...

howdy While getting trailer ready for the season I started cleaning/flushing out my gray, waste, fresh water tanks. I ran the water in the outside kitchen, trying to fill up gray tank. But no water ever registered on the water level gauge inside on panel. However the black water...

We were camping at Silent Lake and on our way out to the dump station we hit a large dip in the road - and I was probably going a bit fast. Anyway I guess the weight of the gray and black tanks caused the suspension to go up higher than normal. This caused the tire to hit an outrigger (I...

Hello The other day after dumping black and then grey tank we hooked up the hose to the black tank scrubber. Have done this for the past 3 years and it does a great job of getting the side walls cleaned. This time Low and Behold we were greeted with water blowing out of the air vent under the...

My sensor fell off the black tank in my DX3 BH. I’ve seen lots of info on how to stick it back on but don’t know where to put it. I believe it’s the lowest one. Anybody know where it goes?

I've been camping most of my life,and I bought my first camper 30 yrs ago. I don't normally close my tank valves unless I'm going to move it,normally it sits on a permanent location. I had just heard from other campers (some newbies) that those valves,grey,gally and black, should be closed...

I have seen many reviews on this I have the same problem as many of you I can’t get any water through the connection to flush the tank I know where the valve is,under the sink in the bathroom Yes it is hook up properly I check the arrows on it There is no kink in the line although I did not...

FROG newbie here. I know this has been discussed a lot but cannot find thread. The black tank on my 30FW clogs quickly despite using standard procedures. Is the toilet adapter extending too far into the tank? Please direct me to a helpful thread.

Many of us have been RVing for many years or even decades and I thought with all you folks here we may a general consensus of what works well in the Black Tank to breakup the toilet paper and solids as well as maintain odor control I have used liquids, powders, tablets and pouches over the...

Ok, we have had our Isata 5FW30 for about 5 months now and have been fighting a terrible black tank smell right from the beginning. We have had assorted motorhomes for over 45 years with lots of experience with black tanks but never had this kind of problem before. We have tried normal products...

Just about to finish up on year two of owner ship. The only real problem is I have now gone through three cable valves for the black tank. Thinking of going electric and getting rid of the cable. About 400 dollars has anyone done this???? Thanks

I know there are many topics on this subject. After many attempts and test I’ve determined a new black tank valve is needed in our unit. Has anyone replaced the black tank valve on a cc 36 ckts? Ours is a 2013. I’m looking for any suggestions before I remove the underbelly and try and install a...

other than blowing the black tank flush out with air anyone do anything else

I currently have two issues with my black tank. The dump valve leaks. There's resistance closing it, and it has a slow leak. Currently have an external valve to ensure I don't take a bath, but need to fix. What are the chances it's the cable routing and not the actual valve? Any tips on...

We are being snow birds in Florida for four months and have full hookup. My question concerns the black tank. Is it OK to leave the valve open all the time or should it be kept closed with holding tank deodorant added and emptied when almost full?

Ok Ladies and Gents. My black tank flush doesnt seem to be working. There sounds like there is only a trickle coming out of it. I have changed the anti siphon valve but the problem is still there. Should i replace the whole unit with something like the tornado flush? Attached is a photo of...

I have a 2018 Isata Series 4 and have a question. Does any water go into the black tank other than the toilet? I understand some units drain bathroom sink or kitchen sink into the black tank. Just curious. Thanks

So just got back home to our Champagne after a week away, and the black tank was so full I’m amazed it didn’t overflow! I pulled the valve and it all came out with a HUGE “whoosh”! I flushed the tank before we left, so while we were gone it was filling up slowly with water! Any ideas??

Hi, at the end of last season the handle for the black tank valve broke. The broken part was the aluminum tube between the valve fitting and the T handle. At the time I knew exactly what I needed to do to make a new one. Fast forward 8 months, I just found the broken handle (unrepaired) and we...

Hello friends Well the wife and I went on our first shakedown camping trip. A little two day escape only about an hour from home. I threw everything at the trailer to see how it all worked and I am very pleased with how the Sonoma 167rb faired. I ran it on full hookups and also on dry camped...

I have a 2016 Cedar Creek 34RL. After our last trip the black tank cable handle will not move. I checked underneath and the the valve works its the cbale that is the problem. I heard that Valterra has a solid cable which is better than the Bristol wound cable. My question is will the Valterra...

I just bought a 2401R MBS and I am a bit confused regarding the procedure for flushing the black water tank. On the side of the RV next to the black tank flush hose connection there is a sticker that says "Do not use the tank flush valves unless the fullway termination valve is in the open...

So you probably know where this is going. This morning we wake up early to prepare to leave for home. About an eight hour drive. Last night I cleaned the black tank and was going to run the flush again this morning just because.... wish I left it alone. So I pull the valve and turn on...

Hi folks, I haven't had the need to empty the Grey or Black water tanks yet on my brand new Sabre cobalt, however yesterday I noticed that neither one is labeled, so I have no idea which one is which (the left one or the right one). Does anyone have some info on this? I would much rather...
