We had this same problem last year on our 2012 Sabre 32RCTS. We really dodged a bullet because when ours failed the water drained straight down onto the furnace, thought we fried the thing. Tuns out it worked fine after we let it dry out for few days. We also replaced our valve with a brass unit. My advice... if your rig has the plastic one, replace it with a brass one and be done with it. Of course you could always leave it as is and cross your fingers.

Or just by-pass it. They sell external 3/4 black flow preventers to hook on the trailer and then the hose. Like a water pressure reg. I had to install a back flow preventer in my city water line at home City required it due to they didn't want my well water entering there system being I have both. Just depends which one I want good well water or old stale City water. But I had to get it inspected by the Health Dept. Silly rule being there's constant pressure on the city line.

Don't know if there is something unique to your Prime Time rigs here, but with my Rockwood Windjammer I have always winterized my black tank flush as wicked1 states here, using air only.

Vern, that would work IMO, but I don't know if all units have them. I traced my line as far as I could and didn't fine it, looks like a straight shot to me right to the tank. But I have a Rockwood to....

Thanks for the great information on the backflow preventer I will have to replace mine in the spring. I have been winterizing my BTF line with the pink stuff and a hand pump just to be safe.

Never have in mine.
It's open on the tank end and unless it's plugged the water would just run out.
Right?

I think that's right. But what about the city water hose connection. I have never done either one, but just wondered what you think.

I tried to find that valve on my 8289WS, I can't find it? I even took apart the shower looking for it, be damned if I can find it. Anyone know if there is one or where it is located on my model?

It's not there for sure I heard some gurgling when blowing out that line behind the shower enclosure area No way to get to it if that's where it's located took off the fixured and looked. I added juice to the black flush line 1/2 gal through your way of using the O/S shower to my black water flush line, Maybe if we have the valve it might help to protect it. Now get back in the treestand, Getting tired of SPAM..... and keep your eyes open.

Found the vaccum break for the black tank flush on the 3170ds. It is accesible via the cabinet in the bathroom. I wish they would have moved the outside conection over a little so you could hook a hose to the black tank flush and latched open the door for the dump valves at the same time.

It is located behind the shower handle set. On our 3600 Sanibel but dealer cut the closet wall out and installed access to it from the entry closet

Thanks for the reply. I will have to check mine out, when I get a chance. Have you had any issues with the breaker on your unit?

Yes. It was pouring water out the first time I used it. Flooded the basement of the coach. I called Prime Time. They told me it was located in the wall, at the shower handles, on the 3500 & the 3600 coaches.
