Sundance 241BH - Black water tank fell out

My thoughts as well, thanks wnjj..

I will have a discussion with the dealer at some point when I have sometime... The reality is it maybe easier for me to fix the vent, or add supports then the time it takes to hookup and drive 45 minutes up the road twice, to drop off and then pickup. Worth the discussion non the less..

IF the OP is HONEST and tells the Dealer what happened, then odds are the factory will deny any warranty. It is not the dealer that makes the decision on covered warranty items, it is the Factory. The fact is, the OP did something wrong, and he should shoulder blame and cost. Doug

There's nothing wrong with filling the black tank with fresh water, even if through an non-standard means. The flow rate of the hose should be easily offset by the vent. If it cannot handle being full of water with 5 psi, it never will when travelling down the road.

You BOTH are missing the facts. It is NOT 5 PSI. Filling the Black tank with fresh water is a standard practice to flush the tank. That is what it is designed to do. BOTH of you need to read the Owners manual. AND, on some RV's it is stated by a sticker by the Black fill. YOU MUST LEAVE THE BLACK TANK VALVE OPEN WHEN USING THE BLACK FLUSH. Now, granted very few ever do that. BUT, the OP filled the tank PAST capacity and expanded the tank beyond its design. The water input is in EXCESS of 45 PSI, that is standard water pressure. Where you get fixated on 5 PSI, I have No IDEA. I have 40 years and still working as a RV Tech. I think I know a LOT more about this than either of you. As, I have seen this type problem numerous times over the years. Doug

PS. TELL the dealer what you did. I will bet you will NOT. Honesty is funny when it costs YOU money.
