Hi everyone,
Glad I found this site. I'm a newbie and recently semiretired. My wife and I started from seattle to Florida where we spent the winter. We are slowly heading back.
With all our excitement, we invited friends to stay with us, no matter how often you tell people about the toilet in goes in one ear and out the other.
When we flush now we get a gurgling bubble that comes up. I heard my tank is piling or the vent is plugged. Going on the roof I found a vent but it wasn't overtop of the polite but over the shower, I don't know how those are connected. Upon my horror I noticed the dealer passed the solar panel cables down the vent
Help...

Welcome and glad to meet you!

You might be better posting the questions on the appropriate forum. You do not mention whether this is a MH or 5er or TT, but posting in a different category forum might elicit more answers.

It's a fairly common practice to run the cable down the vent from what I read.

Hi Louie! Welcome to IRV2! It's great to have you join the gang!

That toilet problem is a bummer! Did you have plenty of water in the black tank before using it? I'm a big believer in the "Happy Camper" holding tank treatment. They have one version that I think is called "Happy Camper Extreme" that is made to clean a tank that has not been properly maintained. They have a money-back guarantee on their products. We have been using it for years and have been really happy with it. Hope you get your problem solved.

Welcome to the forum! There will also be a bent for the black tank, the one over the shower is for the gray water tank.
