This... Well the opposite of.

A screw came loose. What's really pathetic is it started on our last camping trip and I took the cover off to look at this assembly and did not spot a problem.

This trip I'll just say I've had to do some pretty drastic things with gloves and a butter life to make sure it flushed.

That will make you feel like a real tool when you finally take the time to look it over and find a single screw is loose.

It may actually work better now than when I bought the rig.

When we had that problem with our flush valve. I read the manual. They said periodically to lube the valve. I used Vaseline but not that happy with it. Then bought some silicon plumbing grease from hardware store. Put on rubber gloves and the silicon grease solved our problems. I put the grease not only on the plastic but also that rubber gasket.

Usually that means the large hose clamp is too tight.
