I've attached a photo of the water tank and the plumbing from the tank to the pump from before. The hose coming out of the bottom (on the right) has a multi-turn shut off, then a tee with another...

My water heater was leaking, so I replaced it.


I was hoping the leak was the problem, but it was not, the situation continues.

Unhappy water pump runs continuously

If my holding tank is full, all is well. Once the level of the water in the tank drops below the pump, my pump will start to occasionally run continuously, until I turn on a faucet, then it will...

Thanks, but the question still stands. What do you fear about "screwing with" under the kitchen sink?

I fear something may be wrong here. I used the flush inlet to fill the black tank, and it took a LONG time. I'm not even sure I got it full, since the toilet to tank pipe is offset by more than...

Thank you for the help.


I can hear the water running when I use the flush, and it does fill the tank, so I know it's flowing, but there's no way to tell if it's flowing out all the holes, or...

Black tank flush system inlet on top of tank

My 2003 Carriage Carri-Lite came with a black tank flush inlet connection, which I understand will allow me to 'wash the tank from above' by connecting a garden hose to this inlet.

Thanks, i'll look for those buttons.

hmmm, trailer plumbing really is weird.


I assume the water heater does not have a temp setting, which means the need for the mixing valve. How strange.

That makes sense, i think, but I still don't understand how the RV "knows" to use the tank when there is no city hooked up, but use the city supply when it is.


Is there some pressure switch, or...

I've decided to just replace the toilet with a Dometic 310, which has a porcelain bowl and which allows me to fill the tank separately from flushing.

Black and grey water tanks show full when they are not, how do I fix this?

So even when empty the black shows full and the grey shows 3/4 full, which is not ideal.


I understand 'stuff' can build up on the sensors and cause this, but how does one fix that?


Is there...
