Exclamation Black Tank Flush Connection

Good Afternoon
When I connect the hose to flush out the black water tank, nothing is coming out, I have to run a hose trough the toilet to flush it, I am missing a step in the procedure.

Your black tank flush vacuum breaker/check valve may have been installed backwards as many here on the forum have reported.

The anti-siphon vacuum breaker is likely installed wrong, or you have a major kink in the line.
Look under cabinets just inside from the black flush connection and see if you can trace out the lines.

Post #3 gives some suggestions.
This apparatus must be higher that the top rim of your commode. Some are installed inside the bathroom sink cabinet - some up high in a back corner.

In my Wildcat fifth wheel, it's behind the shower wall.

It's going to be inside, likely in a cabinet or behind a removable wall panel, just above the fitting on the outside of the camper. Perhaps behind the medicine cabinet if not in the vanity.

Where ever it is this is what it looks like. Input on the bottom/output to tank on the side.

I’ve never seen a removable panel if this check valve/vacuum breaker is in the bathroom sink cabinet. They are in plain sight as shown in post #9.

I agree Dan but, not knowing the exact floorplan, I was trying to cover all bases. For all we know, there could be a small bedroom cabinet on that wall next to the bathroom that we don't know exactly where the wall even is.

FYI, We have have Wolf Pack 27 and the valve is in the bath room behind a removable panel in the sink cabinet, there is no door on the cabinet.

The OP I believe does have a door on the cabinet in that unit.
