Topic: black tank Posted: 26 Sep 2023 at 2:25pm |
The 177 might be similar to the 179. The pipe between the toilet and the tank did have a curve to it. Always make sure to use plenty of water when flushing anything but liquid to help stuff move past the offset and into the tank. I'm not sure what mechanism you are referring to. The valve isn't a straight flap. Is it a ball valve instead of just a flap?

I was just going to post a similar question only mine I believe is clogged up top. I can see t paper stuck. I always thought the tube went straight down but not I think it curves in. Also what is that little mechanism that you can see below the flap. Seems everything is stuck around that. Advice appreciated. Jon

Use a good biological agent in your tank to break down the waste and TP. I'm currently using Happy Camper. I've also used RV Digiest-it, or other biological agents. Don't use anything with Formaldehyde.

Thanks. A good doze of Drano seems to have cured the problem. My lady says the TP we used was not proper RV type although I bought it at an RV dealership/

There are a number of videos on Youtube that show how to unclog the tank drain. They use a flush adaptor like this one from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Valterra-F02-4100-Hydroflush-Removable-Anti-siphon/dp/B0002UHVAA/ref=sr_1_55?crid=345SF6PXKTURX&keywords=rv%2Bsewer%2Bline%2Baccessories&qid=1695166479&sprefix=rv%2Bsewer%2Bline%2Baccessories%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-55&th=1

I believe the outlet is plugged. I have bought a Drano product that includes a spiked plastic flexible wand about 58 cms long. Will try it out tomorrow after the gel has had a go at the blockage.
