Black Tank Issue

I have been having a terrible time with our Black Tank for a year or so! When we are camping for a couple of days first when you press the pedal down to flush it has a blup & then it goes down and then every time you flush it gergels for a few minutes. After another day or so the waste is visible and I have to use my hose that is made to clear clogs. It buys me another couple days is all. I know it sounds like a Venting problem so I put a water hose down the Black Tank Vent on the roof a couple of feet, opened the dump valve with a clear piece on my dump hose and then turned the water on. Yep, it came out thru the hose, so to me that meant the vent was clear, right? So I figured it would be good now. Went camping last weekend & it was the same!

OK, smart guys, what is going on?

  • There are better ways to spend your time than trying to keep the poorly designed level indicators working properly. Trust me a year from now you will give up trying.

    And it's not just the black tank, eventually the grey tanks will start reporting false levels also.

    Just listen for the burping when you flush then you will be close to full.
