2006 Gulf Stream park modelDoes this park model have grey and black tanks with dump valves that have to be opened to dump or does it drain directly to the sewer line?
It does sound as if "stuff" is not flowing downhill fast enough in the freeing weather. If you do have dump valves then the tank should not be dumped untill it is at least 3/4 full as mentioned above.
