S.O.C., let's look at this logically. First, you've mentioned TWO problems. Solve them one at a time. Forget about the smell right now. I will assume this is a used coach but new to you. If not, please advise the year of the rig. Let's try to solve the water issue first. To do so, you'll need to trouble shoot it. Here's how:
1. Make sure water is on and coming into the coach. You've already said you get water to the sinks so again I'll assume your hooked up and ready to go.
2. Look behind the toilet where the water supply hose comes up thru the floor. Is there any type of valve or shut off there. If yes, turn the handle in the opposite direction it's in then try to flush. If no, try RAISING the handle instead of pushing it down. Does it raise? If yes, does ANY water appear, even a drop or two?
3. Turn ON the water pump and go thru step two again. Any luck? If no, go to 4.
4. Look in your outside compartment where the water pump is. Is there a valve for winterizing your trailer? Check for valves marked bathroom, toilet or similar.
5. Does your trailer have a manabloc system? If yes, make sure the valve to the toilet is ON. If none of these work, go to 6.
6. Did you buy this from a dealer or private party. If dealer, call them in the morning. If pvt party, call them and ask them why it doesn't work.
7. Start a NEW thread for your black tank smell. That problem is secondary to the no flush issue....Dennis
