Black Tank valve failure scenarios
Most scenarios I can think of would not be pleasant at all! I can think of one where it would not be a big deal. Any stories to share? How was it handled?

I have only one black tank incident. On my second ever RV trip, I took my trailer from Portland, OR to NYC on a 5-week trip. At my 5th stop at a KOA outside of Chicago, I decided to rope my 13 year old son in helping me with the black tank duties. He removed the cap and about a gallon of waste came out. Almost like someone pulled a practical joke and pulled the handle, then pushed it back in again.
He was disgusted, and never ever wants to do that duty again. I thought it might have been a bad seal, but this has never happened since. Needless to say, each and every time I pull the cap, I have a bucket at the ready, but nothing ever comes out, except a few drips of gray water from the last dump.
