Black Tank Flush
Essential? Nice to have? Not worth the cost?
What say you all.
We're getting ready to order a class C and wonder if it's worth the extra $150. We normally camp in established campgrounds and use campground facilities for solid wastes.
We have a 26' travel trailer now with no flush and no problems.

Pay it and use it. You will no longer be using the questionable campground facilities knowing that you always have a clean tank. I have a clear elbow and you would be amazed at how much stuff comes out with the flush.

Just found this forum and not getting around too good. My question is I just bought a 2014 Forest River xlr toy hauler 5th wheel,and cant get the black water flush to receive water. Seems to be blocked. Any thought on this? Its under warranty,but I don't feel like spending 240 mile worth of diesel to get it fixed,if it's a easy fix.

Just follow the hose, if a new camper the tank wont be that bad. Sounds like the check valve maybe hung up or in backwards if possible.
And Welcome to the forum from an ex Amarilloian.

Had the same issue, check valve was installed backward. Dealer had to fix, I had no tools to replace the water pipe crimps.

Definitely worth the money. We used to use a Flush King on our old TT and it never really cleaned the sensors. Have a black flush on our Class C - it makes packing up at the end of a trip so much easier and the sensors work!
