New trailer.........been in it about 2 months.
Are you living in it?
Do you leave black tank drain valve closed until time to dump?
Level monitoring panel indicators are junk.
When toilet 'burps' time to dump black tank
When sink/shower drain slower than usual..time to dump grey tank
Fill tank up with water until you see it via toilet. Then open dump valve and check flow. A 'clear adapter' on end of drain line (sewer hose connects to it) will allow you to see how stuff is flowing and when tank rinses fairly clean.
If when draining it flows well but quickly slows down---could have a cut-out disc left in tank. (Installer cuts openings for drain/vent lines----disc falls in tank and doesn't get removed) Disc gets sucked down to drain and blocks it.
Hopefully that is not the case.....or the poop pyramid.
Liquid to stuff ratio.....low ratio causes problems/high ratio cures problems
