For the first time in over a year, I am now having trouble getting my gray tank 2 (shower/lav) to drain.
It's not a bad sensor to be sure as we've taken several showers. The only thing that is coincidental to this is that we had all tanks pumped out on Friday while camping at the Kentucky Horse Park. We were not at the site when the pump out was done.
Upon our return, the tanks were empty to low according to the Control Panel. Two days later (this morning), when at the dump site upon our departure, nothing at all came out when the gray tank 2 valve handle was pulled.
We've traveled about 250 miles since this morning. We're at one of the KOAs near Indy (Greenfield, IN). Hooked up the sewer hose with clear connector and this time, I got "some" water to empty out of gray tank 2. But not much - a few gallons maybe. Still showing 2/3 full and teetering to full.
When at the KY Horse park, I was high on the door side by maybe a half-board. Here in Indy, we are level. So I don't feel my level is part of the problem.
I am guessing the valve pull handle and cable assembly is not connected well at the tank or we have some bizzare obstruction that went down the lav sink or a vacuum lock.
Thoughts?
Terawatt - did you figure anything out as to the cause of your gray 1 not draining until you flushed the black tank? I will be flushing in the morning and will know then if it has any affect on my gray 2 (shouldn't).
One other possibilty although far-fetched is that the honey-wagon driver didn't know to just pull the handles as instructed by phone but also turned the handles many-many times. Not sure if that would do anything anyway but I am grasping at this point.
