Dumping gray water tank.

On the CCK. What do I do? Kitchen sinks are not draining. It has 3 gray water tanks. How do I switch to an empty tank? Panicking here....

I'm new at this not sure what a CCK is but our galley wouldn't drain either, found another dump valve up inside the wheel well just outside the frame, good luck, it's there somewhere.

I could be wrong, but every RV I have owned had a separate drain for each tank.

It is helpful for you to let us know what Brand and model your unit is - for example is it a Charleston Class A or a R-Pod - big difference

Is that a Park Model? If so there shouldn't be shut off valves from the system you are connected to. Wonder if its a good ol fashioned piping plug? Each gray tank has its own drain piping, not normally connected in parallel as backup tanks. Yours should be common drained to ashore. Otherwise please define CCK!

My 5er came with 3 tanks and 2 dump outlets. I hard plumbed the galley tank to the forward dump outlet and added a valve for it. Opened the rear valve and capped the outlet. Now, one outlet and dump 3 tanks by opening 3 separate valves.

Looking at your other posts the last couple of days, I see that you have just moved in to a 2015 Cedar Creek Cottage 40 CCK (Park Model). The specs for your model show that you only have one gray tank. The other two tanks are for fresh water and black water. You need to hook up your sewer outlet to an appropriate connection (sewer line, septic tank, portable waste tote, etc.) and drain your gray tank by opening the valve.

Nice looking trailer by the way!

Thanks again for all your help. I am new to all of this, can you tell? called the dealership, the salesman walked out to the lot where another CCK was located. There are 3 gray water tanks with gray handles. One near the back underneath the bedroom slide for the clothes washer. Another is located next to the black water tank labelled "bath water" for shower and bath sink. The third is for the kitchen sink located under the slide out. Now I know!
