grey tank problem

[Wichitalineman]

The grey tank in my 2005 Georgetown will not drain. I do not know where to begin to unclog it. I though about running a snake up the clean out pipe but the direction f the y where it branches with the black tank will not let me get a snake in the grey water tank. please help.

With the crazy cold weather we have had in lots of the country, do you think it is frozen? That would be a lot of 'clog' in what is mostly clear water. Maybe food particles but should be nothing much more than that.

The temp here the last few days have been in the 50's so I do not think it is frozen. Should be a small item but I cannot reach it.

Sure sounds as though the disc has come loose from the handle and stem. Other possibility is the level system is indicating a false level. You can run a quantity of hot water in the tank and feel the hose with valvle open.

I am having a similar problem with my Tecma electric toilet. I have a 2014 RB Berkshire. It seems after just one flush the electric tank indicated starts to indicate the holding tank is getting full. After just 5 flushes it turns red and stops flushing. If I go out and empty the tank it goes green only to turn yellow after just one flush again. I have flushed the black tank twice and it does not seems to have any affect Any ideas.

Make sure the stack on the roof is clear and clean. if air don't get in, water don't come out.

The last time you dumped the grey tank did flow like normal? If you think it is clogged due to a build up of food particles try a product called Unique RV Digest It. Never tried it in a gray tank however it will turn solids into almost clear looking in the black tank - you do have to leave it set for up to 24 hours for this action to take place.

Thank you everyone! The tank was 3/4 full and clogged. I used a cap with a 3/4" hose connection and reversed the flow. That broke the clog and the tank emptied. I did spill a little on the ground but at least bit was only dirty water. In the process of cleaning the tank and sensors to keep it from happening again.

What caused the clog?

Can't be sure but think it was a build up of grease and possible leftovers from pots, pans, dishes. We are full timers so it gets lots of use!
