Black water disaster
Got back from Daytona 500 late Monday night after a 730 mile run home to Virginia beach. Parked the Rv in the driveway with the intent off doing all standard issue chores Friday afternoon so I could get back to my electrical business after my 4 th back flush of the black tank water looked almost perfect ally clean. i decide to hit it 1 more time the tanks gets about 3/4 full and wham the tank breaks free from the chassis which snaps the grey water plumbing brakes my flush king valve and I spill my after work bud light and the driveway is filled with (clean) water. It was an epic black water Disaster LOL

I think that what really needs to be posted is what mfg of coach do you have and the year & model..... somebody did not use due diligence on the design/mfg or install...That poo mess could be a "justified cause" for the EPA/Hazmat Nazi's to become involved in a recall & refit......
