Hello,
Next week I'll be over at Sonrise RV in Escondido, Ca. to see if they can
attach a new PVC flange to the top of our black water tank. The old flange was a
rusty, rotted mess. The tank however was fine and now that i see how it all
works I was able to clean up quite a smelly mess in the rear compartment area.
They will also be attaching a nozzle device that's used on later model RV's
that squirts all around the inside of your tank and helps flush it out at the
time of dumping the water. Does anyone have that feature? Did you know that a
portion of the heat duct work (Ours is a '65 Airstream) extends back into the
black water tank compartment?! I was very suprised to see that! I guess it's
supposed to heat the sewage and keep it from freezing, right? That detail may have
been the conduit for vermine and odors to get in. We will cap it off. Thanks,
Stuart
