Cap fell in toilet

The cap to the tank cleaner fell into the black tank of our jayco eagle 345bhts. It's a normal size cap the size of a soda bottle cap. Should it just flush out next time I dump. Or am I in deep Doo Doo
  • Not the first, won't be the last.

    I was trying to break up a pyramid, using a section of a curtain rod. 45degree elbow going into tank. You guessed it... slipped out my hand, down into the tank. Of course, it never came out, never blocked the tank. That was about 2 years ago.

    You will be fine. No need to go tank diving.
  • Don't be that horrible person. Go out buy a kiddie pool drain the tank into it and do not dispose of the contents until you find that cap.

    No seriously, it's a non-issue. The hoses are several times larger than the cap. Only way I see an issue is if you are running a mascerator pump. The inlet may be small enough to jam up.

    Don't purposely put plastic down the toilet but a stray cap every few years isn't going to cause any issues with your system or the campgrounds.
  • Guess this falls into the category of the 2 most famous letters I learned while taking Essentials of Fireman ship years ago.......OS (as in Oh S***).
  • You're not but that cap is in deep doo-doo

    That cap is one of the smaller items that come out of the black tank
