Leak from black tank pipes into compartment

[Hodie Ho]

We have noticed a small leak in the pvc from the black tank exit and the dump valve. It may be leaking at a seam. Will be on the road another 6 days before we can get it checked. Is there cause for concern?

I would take extra measures to clean the tank out before hitting the road and run with it empty and then perhaps a wrap or three of duct tape to hold it in place.

A small pail or other container under it when parked to prevent ground contamination as a good idea.

That's what ee've been doing ex except for the duct tape. Will give that a try when we stop today. Thanks!

Sunseeker waste valves are inside a heated compartment so it won't leak on the ground.

Does anyone have any idea as to why it would start leaking all of a sudden. We have been using it monthly since May 2013 with no issues. Seems to be where 2 pieces of pvc are glued together.

Likely just a poor glue joint and vibration and temperature cycles have caused it too fail.

Sunseeker waste will leak on the ground when the compartment overflows!

Check the bolts THAT HOLD THE DUMP VALVE TO THE PIPE, MINE WERE LOOSE AND IT WAS DRIPPING FROM THERE, TIGHTENED THEM UP AND THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM,
