Black tank flush n/g, Keystone quality control.
While I'm awaiting a resolution for my leaking bedroom slide on my brand new 25RES from Keystone I decided to tackle the black tank flush.
I noticed that the black tank flush failed to work soon after delivery.
Peeling back the curved access panel in the main storage compartment and following the water line from the tank flush inlet I noticed it curved up, rather than going directly to the black tank. Then it hit me, just like on my old 2003 Cougar they place that stupid backflow/vacuum-break valve under the bathroom sink! I remember that valve, because it burst one day flooding the bathroom.
Sure enough, on inspection, they installed the valve backwards, preventing water from going to the tank flush assembly within the black tank!!!
It was a 5 minute job to reverse the fittings on the valve.
I do like that curved panel in the main storage area, with the removal of a few screws you have access to 75% of the plumbing and electrical fittings, kudos to Keystone for that!, I have a feeling I'll be spending alot of time there.
