Hi folks!
We are the proud owners of a new 2011 North Trail 21FBS. We had our first camping trip in it this weekend. For the most part, everything went great. At the end of the trip, I did notice one thing at the dump station. On our 2008 Rockwood 2605, pulling the gray tank's valve handle resulted in a big rush of water. About 20-30 seconds later, there was no more flow and you closed the valve and were done. On the 21FBS, when I pulled the gray tank dump valve, there was no big initial rush of water, and it seemed like it took FOREVER for it to stop flowing. In fact, after a few minutes, there was still a stream of water and I just shut the valve. The gauge shows the tank as empty, but it sure took a long time to get there.
So, fellow 21FBS owners, how quickly does your gray tank empty? Is there something about the routing of the dump plumbing on these that slows it down, or is there something going on with my unit?
I play to try some more experiments here at the house, but I wanted to get some feedback from the collective too. Thanks!
