Sorry, need clarification in order to help.
Do you mean that when you try to empty your black tank, nothing comes out...or
Do you mean when you hook up a hose to the black tank flush fitting to flush the tank...no water flows into the flush system...or
Something else? What exactly are the symptoms you are experiencing?

Hi

Three possible things here:

1) Black tank is clogged and will not empty. Simple answer = two or three bags of ice down the toilet and a few loops around the bumpy park roads.

2) Black tank flush system is clogged and no water flows. First answer = same as 1 above. Second answer fill black tank with water and let it sit for a day. Try the flush again.

3) Gray water tank is blocked. That's a strange one ....

Always double check your tank valve arms. They *can* come unscrewed. If that happens, they slide very easily. In some cases they come all the way out ( = they extend much further than they should). Answer there is to screw them back into the valve paddle.

So - what is the issue in this case?

Bob
