Holding tank vent pipe access...
Specifically - I have a 2004 Dolphin 6342. It was suggested that I might have an insect nest in the grey tank vent pipe. I went up top - pulled on the Camco Torpedo vent cover I had installed a couple years ago and up came the torpedo... attached to the black pipe. The black pipe was blocked about 12-18" up by the torpedo 'cover'. I removed the torpedo and then thought "hmmm... I wonder if this is some kind of 'sliding' connection?". I have been assured by posting this question in another forum that that is not the case. That I possibly pulled the vent pipe out of some connection.
I'm starting to get some bad smells in the coach so I'm guessing I have to dig in, find the vent pipe and ensure it is well connected to the holding tank. The question is... anyone know where to access it - full length?
I am pretty sure the vent pipe runs up a 'channel' or chase that is between the shower head / valve and the outside of the bathroom. Basically - right behind the electrical control panel. I'm also guessing that I access it by removing the panel where the fan and overhead light switch are mounted. (attaching a pic - but it's questionable quality - I used the panorama mode of my phone and turned it sideways... the panel I'm thinking is outlined in blue)
Can any of you Dolphin owners confirm that before I start pulling things apart and create even MORE problems for myself?
Thanks!
Arden
