Janice, I am so glad you posted this. This exact thing happened to us. 3 trips in the pod. First 2, we had no trouble at all, 3rd trip could not flush the tank.

The hose is possibly kinked. Happened with mine.

My black tank flush worked fine a few times; now the pressure builds with no water going in to rinse the tank. What would be the most likely cause? Since it worked for a while, the problem wouldn't be the check valve.

This seems to be quite common, my 2014 177 had the check valve installed backwards

Another valve in backwards. Located under bathroom sink in our 178. 15 minutes to reverse & test, works great now!

Mine was backwards also, I had to find the way the water came in to the valve first, and yes it was hooked up wrong. Not to bad to do yourself, just a lot of white sticky stuff. Thank you for the picture and the help.
Note: there is an arrow on the valve that shows the water flow. |

I too have this problem, brand new never used and after the first outing tried to use the flush valve and it only built up pressure. I also found the valve as Moose said and I will reverse it tomorrow. I also like to do my own work. You learn a lot from digging in and doing it. Thanks for your help.

Awesome, glad you found it. If it's convenient for you to have your dealer do it I would. I let mine do several warranty things that I could have done myself just because of it being new as well! Please let us know for sure if it does just indeed be installed backwards, a silly mistake at factory for sure but one that is annoying when it's your trailer that it happens to.

Moose, you are correct. I found the valve under the bathroom sink. Looks like I need to remove the sink skirt to access the valve. I usually like to do my own work, but it is a new trailer. Maybe let a dealer repair it.

Black tank flushing?
