    Blank tank is visually full after emptying yesterday

    Thanks All! :) Here's the outcome. Researched clogged vent stack and decided that wasn't it. Purchased a hand crank 10' snake and slowly got nearly all of it down the toilet drain with very little effect. After a lot of cranking, and in-and-out-action, the effluent level drained a few...

    Blank tank is visually full after emptying yesterday

    Again, THANKS for the reply! On our Gateway, the back wall is too "buttoned up" to tear it apart to see the plumbing. I agree about a snake. We were just talking about it. I just ran clean out flush water from the hose to add water to the tank to create a little upward air pressure and not...

    Blank tank is visually full after emptying yesterday

    THANKS FOR THE RESPONSE... it's appreciated. I think you're right about a "pile". My concern about a wand is that there is very little room for additional water - about 6" or so of space between the top of the effluent in the toilet pipe to the valve/bottom of toilet bowl. I'd have to buy a...

    Blank tank is visually full after emptying yesterday

    Quick feedback needed: :confused::confused: I emptied our black tanks yesterday and got empty readings on both. I always flush until the drainage runs clear. We can go about a week before the need to empty and still usually at 2/3 on the front tank and 1/3 to 2/3 on the back tank. I prefer to...

    5th wheel specifications regarding height

    At Bass Lake, safe and sound. Didn't hit any overpasses. ;) I re-measured after hook-up. Adjusted for the front ground being a little lower than the rear (didn't want to move it just to measure - would have had it been off) and got 12' to the roof, adding the 14" a/c gave us the 13' 2" spec...

    5th wheel specifications regarding height

    Thanks everyone for the feedback! It's helpful to know how many got close to the specs... makes me feel better. We're camping now and don't have 4' levels, or wood, or laser devices, just a measly tape measure. I will try again after hook up in the morning. It can't possibly be anywhere close...

    5th wheel specifications regarding height

    Thanks! Yes, that's the plan. We hook up and head out tomorrow. First thing I do after hooking up is re-measure!

    5th wheel specifications regarding height

    It doesn't seem likely but our 2016 Gateway 3650 BH measures a foot taller than it should. The spec is 13' 2". It's sitting relatively level (less than 1 degree lower toward the rear) and will sit relatively level on our AirRide hitch. I measured from the ground to the top of the roof and got...
