Just in from AP: Heartland RV recently reported that water will run uphill. In a surprising new development, Heartland has found that grey and black water effluent will also drain uphill. Scientific community all abuzz over this new discovery. When questioned about the latest development, the president of the International Brotherhood of Plumbers had this to say "Well I guess that's a real gamechanger, but as long as payday is still on Friday, no biggie."
All kidding aside, I have a Cy 3010 with the same problems as reported in the thread "Cy 3010 some water is inaccesable" When I pulled the bellypan to fix it, I found that the front Grey and Black tanks had been plumbed with more than 1 1/2" in rise from the tank to bellypan exit! Some new parts and an hours work and I now have 1/2" fall. The holding tanks were all sagging and held quite a few gallons despite my having just dumped. I added a plywood bottom using the frame and the sag straps to support the bottom of the holding tanks. Now when I dump, they are truely empty. As to the water tanks, I added an extra metal support and replaced the 1/2" osb with a 7 ply 3/4" ply. They now are flat. I will be adding a fitting to the tank that wont drain completely as soon as it arrives.Add insulation and replace the belly pan, then out camping again. Can't wait.
