Sundance 241BH - Black water tank fell out
Hey Folks, Got a new 2018 Sundance 241BH. We picked it up a few weeks ago and just finished up our first trip. We drove from the Toronto area down to Cape Canaveral Fl. In total 5050km including so...

Well thought I would update in case anyone was interested...
We just had our second trip with the trailer. The first was about 3500 miles that the tank fell out. This trip was about 1500 miles. Black tank wise we were problem free. Everything worked as designed and I hooked up the hoses right!
I did talk with the dealer before this trip. As per the service guy there is a floating check valve on the vent that prevents water from flowing up the pipe. If this is true it explains the issue. The tank became full, the check valve closed and the tank swelled until it fell out of the brackets. Out of an abundance of cation I did but some angle iron and put two straps under the tank to prevent it from falling out again.
We did have some other water leaking under the floor issues. The TT is back with the dealer now getting those resolved. Or I hope they are getting resolved anyways!!
Cheers,
Mike
