Grey water tank issue

[Malacca]

2015 hemisphere lite 312QBUD

I just bought this second hand. I have no experience with a TT.

I am about to hit the road and am doing a dry run in my driveway. I hooked up water. Everything worked fine. I ran water through the sinks, tub and flushed the toilet. I then went drain the black water. A lot more came out as I only flushed the toilet twice.

I then tried to drain the grey water. Nothing. Nada.

So I ran a LOT more water in the sinks & bath. I leveled the trailer (just in case).

Still zip. Nothing from grey water tank. And I can hear the handle pulling the valve open.

In poking around the web I find out this model may have two grey tanks. I looked for another valve - nothing.

Of course the FR manual that came with it is completely useless.

Help.

OK, I do have two grey tanks. The back one is just for the outside kitchen.

Can't find the slide lever for the front tank! Panel shows it 3/4 full.

Anyone know where it is?

I don't know your unit but I have seen some units where the handle is in the wheel well??

[Malacca]

Nope. Nothing in the wheel well. I looked under the entire underside and can't see anything.

Read this thread might help....

Fonzie - I read the post. Thanks. Descriptions are vague. I still can't find the third lever.

Black is left of drain connection. One grey is under bunk slide.

Well hope someone else will chime in and provide info.....

I have 3 valves in the same location on my 312qbud. There are two valves up on the frame rail directly above a lower hanging valve.

The first pic shows where they are located.

The second pic shows the lower (front) grey tank next to sewer drain.

The third pic you can see the bar for the lower grey with the two other valves directly above.

I'll post pics once it stops raining. Mine has a sticker for black and one for grey at the outlet. But the second grey lever is 7 feet back. Hmmm....

[Malacca]

Thanks! Found it. As it was raining hard here I couldn't crawl on the ground - which is what is necessary to find that 'hidden' lever.

Now if FR just made decent instruction....

Now it is sleeting. Got to get out of here before it freezes.

[fonzie]

So where did you find it? and pictures later would help others in the future.....

[Malacca]

In atcbrownie's third pic. You really have to put your head under the trailer to see it. It isn't like the other two.

You are welcome malacca

Our rear galley gray tank valve is under the living room slide -- you have to get on your hands and knees and crawl under the slide to open and close it. When the slide is closed, BINGO, there it is right in a nice convenient location. When the slide is out, the valve handle is invisible.

This speaks volumes. Yet we continue to buy their product. Says a lot about us....

Wow they seem to have some strange designs when it comes to those drain valve controls. On my 262BHXL they are very obvious and easy to access. I guess I just thought all were that way!

I do have a related question:

My camper has only the bathtub on the rear gray tank, the toilet on the black tank (of course), and everything else on the forward gray tank. Is that normal? It seems fine to me, but it is different than what the tech told me at delivery.

I think it all depends on the particular unit and the configuration. In the long run, it probably doesn't matter.
