I just picked this up a couple of weeks ago and it was still winterized by the previous owner. I drained all the anti-freeze out of the lines and flushed it with fresh water. But still have two problems. First I cannot fill the hot water tank even though all the valves seem open.
Second, I tried using the black tank flush and could not hear water running into the tank and after a couple of minutes it was running on the ground from underneath the trailer! We had a Jayco 5th wheel and you could always here the sprayers working when the water was on, not this one. I went inside and traced it to a pair of lines under the bathroom sink that were tied together with a vent cap on top. At first I thought it was the sink lines because this vent was zip-tied behind the sink way up high. I cut the zip tie so I could see what the heck it was. Anyway, the crazy thing is I had the black tank drain valve open, so not sure why it would not vent, and what would force the water up those lines and not spray the tank?
Here is the vent that water was puking out of.
