- I dumped my black tank and the next thing I knew I couldn't get it to close. If this happens to you there is a good chance you might have tissue blocking the valve. This is the simplest fix. All you do is flush your tank really well. Hopefully, you have the Rhino Blaster Pro which I have listed below. If this doesn't fix your issue then you might have something blocking the valve which is what happened to me.
Below I've listed some of the tools that are very helpful in using your black tank and fixing it.
Rhino Blaster Pro: amzn.to/2IP2miQ
Sewer Hose: amzn.to/2REhKkN
Flex bit holder: amzn.to/2X1LSaV
Here's a little tip for when you have to remove or do this kind of work on the sewer system. Obviously, drain your tanks best you can. Then, use your stabalizers and tip your camper, the opposite way, so that fluids don't want to flow out of the pipe.
Suggestion, always put silicone plumbers grease on any seals like the rubber rings. Never use vaseline - it causes the rubber to swell. Use a clean q tip to get some grease from the container. Not your sewage covered hands.
Same problem,hard stop trying to close. I thought the gate valve came out of the groove. Fix is next. Thanks for putting this up,it saves s lot of grief for many of us new to this.
This is a tremendous video. No fluff. Just great facts and detail. I have a Winnebago View and the valve is behind a wall. That should make it more complicated. Thank you for the great video.
Hey thanks for being a cop and for the videos, much apprecited.
Great video, it helped a lot when I tackled my valve. Thank you for your service!
Have seen tours of manufacturers where they're doing the tanks installation. Hole saws making openings for toilets, drains etc, NONE of the waste plugs are bothered with if they fall into the tank. So sooner or later you wind up with your situation, a big chunk of scrap that fell off somewhere during assembly.
Great job. Thanks for the videos they do bring light to allot of things that will happen when you are just starting.
I am new to rv ownership. Video helped me out tremendously
Very good video. We've been RVing for over 25 years so have done the valve thing, but this time replacing the black and gray tank valves with electric ones. It's a little more taxing since it's a fifth wheel and have to drop the chlorplast corrugated stuff to access the tanks. I decided on electric valves because of recommendations of others. It's really a pain to access these valves, not difficult, just a pain.
Thanks for making this video. Just got a travel trailer and mine is hanging open about 1/2 inch. Didn't know if that was normal or if that was a problem. Yikes, I might have to look into this before using this black tank.
Thanks for the video!! AND THANKS FOR BEING A COP!!! still looking for link to the part... Gosh I sure hope that works for me...I live alone in my trailer... but hey...I CAN DO IT!!🤣😅😳
that rhino flusher is the best because it stops the water from coming out so you can deep rinse , the gate is the trick on this . Some rinsers do not have the valve gate.
Good video. Gotta fix my new ones that I replaced & now won't close all the way...."crap."
If the bolts are shoulder bolts, then they can be tightened up. If not, they were not torqued down so valve would work freely.
Easier if you put the seals in place on the pipes first then put the valve it. Great video
I'm glad you finally put gloves on.... So nasty. I hope that never happens to my Rig.
Yeh, mine is doing the exact same thing, I don't want to touch it because it's only 2 months old...still under warranty, so I have wait for a tech to call me back and go from there, otherwise I would have already had it fixed by now. Great job though.
I wouldn’t be wearing any kind of open foot wear when doing this
Thanks Mon!
