Loose sewer vent pipe to roof vent
Is the ABS black tank vent pipe supposed to be glued to the roof vent (ABS glue)? I just found ours wasn't glued and it only had a tiny dab of silicone on it. Maybe it's not supposed to be glued to ...

NO the roof vent caps need to be removable just in case you need to run a hose down vent line to clear a blockage, replace vent cap due to damage or age.
The vent line should be secured to trailer wall/studs etc. so that the vent line doesn't move.........loose vent line can drop down into tank and become blocked off.
Very few Vent pipes are installed in a rubber slip gasket on top the Tanks. MOST are glued to the top of the tank. So, dropping into the tank is extremely rare even on the ones with a rubber slip gasket. Most vent lines are NOT a straight pipe from top of tank to the roof. They usually have a "Y" or a sink drain pipe connected to them somewhere in the wall. That also keeps the pipe from slipping down IF it has a rubber slip fitting. Doug
