thank you for the reply Dave, the RV is a Big Country 3560SS 2017 have owned for three weeks, you probably are correct about check , from the way the water from hose back pressures when removing hose I'm assuming the check to be a little further in than right at hose connection.Gary

John,
once ce the walls are down you can usually trace the line from the UDC inlet to where it goes up and then turns right around and comes down. Then you can see the line head towards the black tank.
Where it goes up and then turns around onthe valve is at the top.
You should be able to feel the water move in the line.

Well i have to say with great appreciation all of the suggestions and sincere help with this Black water anti siphon valve, I found valve right where you all suggested in shower behind round access opening, Haven't removed yet to check out but i'm betting since both supply and return lines are colored blue that the factory reversed the connection by mistake as the valve looks installed properly as far as position. I'll let you know what i find soon.

Similar issue here. However, you can hear a small trickle that makes the tank but the water sprays everywhere at the outside connection. Non of the lines to the underbelly are kinked and the lines are correct into and out of the valve.
Spoke with Heartland. The final piece of the flush is a spray nozzle that requires glue to install the part. Often the workers use too much glue completely blocking or partially blocking the holes on the part. Needles to say, this has been added to my list of repairs for November.

Hello, I'm new to the forum and a new (2018 Heartland North Trail UltraLight owner. I am trying to flush both the black and grey tanks. There is only one sewer connection with one valve that is labeled "Gray Tank #1. When I opened that valve what appeared to be grey water did discharge into the sewer hose (I have a clear fitting to see what is discharged). However the grey water tank indicator still shows 2/3 full. There is no black water tank valve. I do have a black tank flush connection on the back of the trailer where a hose is hooked up to flush the black water tank but I'm afraid to hook up a hose without the correct flush valve to the sewer being open. The black water tank indicator still shows 1/3 full.
Any help on the correct procedure to flush both the grey and black water tanks is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jim

Moved on to the next thing...
Our previous Heartland Trail Runner had a rear kitchen, which had it's own gray tank drain near the back of the trailer.
On the same side in front of the wheels there was another drain dump for the front bathroom with both gray and black drain valves.
I had a 'Y' connection so both could be hooked up at the same time.

There has to be a black water valve. Be sure go get down on your knees and look for a valve handle under the rig.
There have been a couple of posts where people reported not having a drain handle and have found it by looking under the rig or have discovered that the handle had fallen off.
Peace

Jim, the tank indicators are notorious for not being accurate so, many of us, rely on other indicators to show when we need to dump...I.e. Toilet "burping," water backup in sink or shower, etc.
Thanks Dave,
I've been under the rig pretty thoroughly but I'll look again. Next step is to take it back to the dealer when I get home and have them show me!
Jim
