New to the lifestyle and can't figure out why my black tank line fills while traveling. I emptied the tank the last two times before traveling....and made sure valve was closed. When I get ready to hook up, I opened the pipe to attach my hose and waste pours out. How is it getting past the valve?
My RV is nearly 30 years old. When I remove the outside dust cover to hook up the hose, nothing ever comes out.
It sounds like you are getting leakage past the valves.
An easy way to test is close both valves and remove the outer dust cap.
Then continuously flush your toilet, filling up your black water tank.
If you see water coming out of your dump connection with the gate valve closed, you have a leak.
If not, fill up your grey water tank and see if that is leaking at the gate valve.
