What size grey tank dump valves?

Howdy all,

Finally got things repaired/modified/squared away enough on the new RV to take a little shakedown trip. I noticed that there wasn't as much flow when dumping the grey tanks as I had on my former motorhome. It had a 3" drain from an 80 gal tank, so it really flushed out the hose when emptying. Do the Creeks possibly have smaller dump valves leading to the main drain tap? Maybe I need to drop one of my Flomax pills down the drain!!!
Thanks

I noticed the same slower flow on our 34RLSA also.

I mentioned it to the dealer to check while in for warranty work. They told me the gray line is smaller... I don't remember what size they told me, but it is smaller than the black drain.

Thanks Sid,

I was hoping that it was smaller lines and not construction trash in the tank...

The gray water drains on our 34RLSA appear to be 2". Lot easier to work with than 3 in.
