black tank

I have 3in valterra black tank slide valve that is very difficult to slide. You have to pull so hard, it's going to break. I sprayed lube on the rod, went in and out a few times, didn't help much... don't want to take it apart or replace until I know more.. Any thoughts?

The black tank level sensor in our 2022 Coachmen Beyond behaves erratically when in normal use. The panel shows empty or something at 20% or less untill it's almost time to dump, then the panel suddenly jumps to 80% or higher. After emptying we always refill with water to 80 % or more for...

Newbie to this forum and RV's. 2019 Forest River 324A13 Vengeance Rogue toy hauler with 1-1/2 bath and 2 Black tanks to drain. QUESTION: if we're only using the front bathroom, does it share the same black tank drain somehow? Meaning, will (or can) the front black tank overflow into the rear...

We bought a 2019 Salem by Forest River end of July 1st of August. We've never owned an RV so we knew nothing about it. We were promised many things from the owner of the dealership about teaching/showing us everything we needed to know but once he took our money we didn't exist. We got...

Hello, newbie here to TT and RVs. I'm trying to identify if my 2020 TT 221BHXL has a black tank flush inlet. I've searched and goggled but nothing concrete, so I have some photos. On the city water inlet there is no other inlet. On the other side I have 2 water inlets: one not labeled with a...

I'm using my new RV seasonally, and after dumping the black tank I use Happy Campers treatment along with the associated three gallons of water that goes with that treatment. I'm on my second trip to the RV, and I have a question regarding the winterization of the black tank (freezing...

Hello I'm a new owner of a shasta phoenix-x 393mbx. Yesterday morning 11/27/23 I filled my fresh water tank for the first time. Everything was great, I filled the fresh tank full. I put around 10 gls into the black tank. Me and the wife took a shower and normal bathroom usage. This morning...

I have a 2019 Imagine XLS 21BHE that started leaking at the black tank valve (through the foam). I was wondering if anyone has had this happen or has a picture or diagram of what it looks like under the chloroplast. I am pretty sure that I can just remove the insulation foam and drop the...

2024 Rockwood 2608bs: So I winterized last week using RV antifreeze and all went well until reading somewhere to make sure you don't forget the black tank flush. I also didn't winterize the ShowerMiser line. Can I just use the air compressor system and just blow out the black tank flush line...

I'm brand new to RVs and have learned a lot reading the forums here. I just purchased a 2020 Cedar Creek Hathaway Edition 34IK at a semi-permanent campground, and plan on using it 3-5 days at a time a couple of times per month. The CC is on full city connections. I have read that it's...

1 - When blowing out the blank tank flush do you need to open the black tank drain? If that tank is vented on the roof as I think it is, shouldn't that prevent the black tank from over pressuring? 2 - Have you ever winterized by dumping RV antifreeze into the fresh water tank through the...

First winter with a rv, I'm opting to air out my fresh water lines with air, blew them twice so far, will do again. Little came out the second time. Car needs the antifreeze changed, it's only a year old, wondering why i couldn't pour some in the toilet and sinks?

I have a 2018 Georgetown v. The black tank flute flush valve for the middle bathroom is closed and will not accept water. Where is is located?

Hello! We just got a 2021 Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf Alpha 26 rb-l. I am confused on our tank situation. The interior sensor panel buttons show Black 1 and Black 2 as well as Grey 1 and 2. I do realize I probably don’t have 2 black tanks. I have a bathroom sink, shower and toilet in the...

Paid 500 dollars for a mobile rv service to find the plug they drill out of the floor in my black tank. Emailed forest river about it and they told me sorry we can’t pay for it. It’s been over a year. I could understand if it was the air conditioning went bad but this is a major screw up by...

After we set up at a site, I used the John and when I push the pedal to flush, there a big metal bang. Checking outside, water was coming out on both side from the Chloroplast and frame. Further checking found the black water tank broke loose or a hole was punched in the tank. Removing...

Hello All - my first post - Our 2021 Rockwood Roo 225s exhibits a dripping leak when flushing the black tank. The last 2 times I flushed, I have observed a steady drip from where the underside black material meets the “black dump pipe” about a foot or so inboard from where we attach sewer hoses...

Is it safe to travel with a couple gallons of water in your black tank? I'm hoping to put some water in and it will get some of the poop of the sides while I'm traveling.

I have a 2013 FR 2860DS and the black tank flush line is clogged. It's not the check valve. I've seen videos of needing to repair/clean the flush nozzle, but I can't find where to access that in my RV. Does anyone know where the access to the black tank flush nozzle is located in a FR 2860DS?

I cannot locate a black water vent pipe that exits the roof of the rig. There is one but I traced it back to the grey water tank but could not see how the grey vent pipe might be connected to the black. I did locate what looks to be a vent pipe the comes up from the black but does not come...

Hi ya’ll. I recently bought a 2010 rockwood signature ultra lite 8315bbs bumper pull. I have a small black box in my Bathroom on the wall near the sink. It’s says auto drain and It has a switch on top that says open/closed. I know now it is for my black tank. As I could only find a lever for my...

So, our bristol-brand plastic handle connected to the black tank valve finally broke after several years of use. I was going to order a metal replacement on Amazon, but after unscrewing and looking at my handle, I seem to have something non-standard. On my arrangement, the handle has the...

I have a rather annoying problem with the black tank in my 2023 30DS that has been there since we got it. Everything works well when the tank is near empty (this is NOT the problem :)). After about 10 to 15 gallons have been deposited into the tank, the toilet valve will actually spurt air out...

New owner, New user, I have a 2015 Vengeance 39B12 which has two black tanks. There is only one flush though on the dock and I found out the hard way it goes to the back tank... Don't ask. Does anyone have this or a similar model and know where the other flush could be? I will have the...
