Leak from black tank?

Odd. I have not yet used the bathroom. It was bone dry until I hooked a hose up to the city water port. Just brought this home yeaterday.

It’s a rear bath FC 23 FB.

Thoughts?

Going to need more information...

Where is it leaking from? Have you pulled the access panels near the discharge to get a better look?

Are you sure you're connected to the fresh water inlet and not the black tank flush?

Assuming you bought the trailer used - did the previous owner give you any indication of a problem? Did he/she properly winterize the trailer?

Etc. Etc.

First thing I'd check is the city water inlet valve. Find where you can access it inside and check it for leaks.

^1. Notoriously bad, those city water inlets are.

Does the leak have a black tank odor.

Did I read this right?

Are you sure you want to use Poop Juice as your handle name?

As long as Poop Juice doesn't select an elephant as an Icon, he should be OK.

I mused over the name. Then wondered, maybe he/she is owns a Septic hauling business, a very lucrative enterprise.
