2016 Bounder 33C - San T Flush Vacuum Breaker

Can anyone tell me where the vacuum breaker for the san-t-flush system is located on a 2016 Bounder 33C? After flushing my black tank, I get some water coming back out of the hose connection. It's a decent amount. I'm wondering if I'm having a problem with the vacuum breaker in the system. I checked the panel behind the shower as well as under the shelf next to the sink. Any idea where I should be trying to access this from? Thanks!

I get the same thing, what I have read this is normal as it is the built up pressure between the backflow preventer and the hose connection.
I have a hose bib splitter with valves that I use just for the rinse setup to relieve this pressure out on the ground in a controlled fashion after I finish the rinse process.

The water that flows out the connection is what is left in the internal piping between the hose connection and the vacuum breaker. The breaker is mounted fairly high in the coach which accounts for the amount of water being pushed out by gravity.

Thanks you two. Thats what I thought it might be but I wasn't able to find anything in my research that confirmed it. Looks like I'll let it be!

If it helps, I get roughly a cup or two of water out of mine after disconnecting the hose.

I also added a shut off valve, leave it connected to sani-flush, no mess,I remove it before winter, after winterizing.
