Prowler black tank flush

[BiggD]

I noticed that the black tank flush on our Prowler 32PBHS is on the other side of the trailer. Why in the heck would they do this? I am assuming I need to carry an extra hose to connect to the water supply and walk around the trailer at the dump station in order to flush it? I wonder why it's not mounted right were the dump outlets are?

Does anyone else find this odd?

I have never used my flush at a dump station. I rarely use dump stations as I try to get a fhu site every third day or so and can dump/flush at my convenience.

It would be a pain at the dump station, I'd just dump a bucket of water down the stool and call it flushed. 🙂

I never thought about that, all this time I have been doing it the hard way with a hose and wand that I stick down the toilet. This is the first camper I have had a flush option, but dumping a couple buckets of water down the toilet is easier than messing with a hose at the dump station.

I do the wand thing at home after a trip as I have a place to dump at home, but to dump on the road I just run extra water into the black tank before I dump where stayed. Each to their own way some might be better than others your pick.

I almost never use my black tank flush at a dump station. It is just quicker/easier to dump some water down the stool. I always leave a few gallons of water in the black tank when finished, to slosh around, and to keep any left over solids from hardening.

I do use the flusher if I'm leaving from a full hookup, rather than a dump station. In your case, it wouldn't be such a hassle either, if on a full hookup.

I agree it should be from the opposite side but they could have put it on the same side as the outlets and ran tubing to the other side. I was just curious to see if any other trailers were like this.

Shortest distance between two points.......Yes it is odd.

the flush system should shoot water in to the tank from the side opposite the drain for good flushing.
