We purchased a 36qbok Sabre about a week ago. Pulled it home to discover absolutely no tread left on tires!!!!!! Had it inspected and discovered it has a defective axle and would have come from the manufacturer that way!!! Also, no PDI performed on the unit! Not a happy camper at the moment. Also, the dealership we are dealing with are trying to down play the issue and are a bunch of incompetent liars!!
Point of the story - check the axles!!

Thanks jtsromsburg!! New to this forum stuff so not sure how to find sabresam. Not sure if there is anything he will be able to do, it's not the issue of having the warranty work done that is the problem, but the way in which the dealership has lied and dealt with us since reporting the issue.

Do a search for, " ask the Sabre" , or go to the Palomino section and look thru threads to find him or the thread titled "ask the Sabre and ...."

Good luck. Stay on top of that dealer

I assume you mean the vent on the outside? Tons of force on the two little tabs on the bottom.

Up and Out. Should be two tabs. I've never closed mine since I first opened it.
YMMV

I never even knew we had them except for reading here about how hard they are to open and how easily they break.

Not that hard to open. A little high up which makes it more of a challenge, never broken mine.

Middle gray - kitchen sink
These three are on the front drain outlet


Rear black - 1/2 bath sink/toilet
Rear gray - outside kitchen

I thin the two grays are 42 and the blacks are 54 but need to look and validate via specs. Not sure on OK one but it is small.
Translation - - 3 days on front and middle gray tanks (for us with short showers daily) and haven't filled a black tank without me flushing it prior to dumping yet.

All tanks are 42 (even the fresh water tank).

Yep... Just looked at the specs. Except the OK tank. I don't think it can be 42 can it?
