Diagram of waste system?

[LAURAKT]

We have a 2014 Silverback 37BH. Does anyone know where we can get a diagram of the underbelly showing the plumbing system of both 1.5 and 3 inch pipes? We have galley grey water backing up into our half bath grey water tank in the back, and are trying to pinpoint where this is happening and why. Even when the galley gate valve is closed, when we run water in the galley, that water backs up into the half bath drainpipe.

Thanks for any ideas or comments!

Has to be a tank valve not closing completely...

Yes, that coincides with what we were thinking, unfortunately. We've had problems with 2 of the valves already. It's difficult to now figure out where the problem is.

If the valves are cable operated, sometimes the cables have enough flex in them or what holds the cable housing from moving isn't doing it's job...

Diagrams generally aren't released by Forest River. You might try contacting your warranty contact.

I have a 2015 37bh silverback
Galley and 1/2 bath are on the same tank 1/2 bath toilet has its own tank
Bath up front has its own tank (shower and sink)
Kitchen has its own tank
Toilet has its own tank(up front)
There are a total of 5 tanks for the waste system

What is the difference between galley and kitchen ?

I thought the galley is the same as the kitchen, but maybe Jerry427 means that the outside kitchen in the back is considered the galley and it is what shares a tank with the 1/2 bath?

Since the kitchen has its own tank, the gray water from the kitchen should not be coming out of the same pipe as the 1/2 bath gray water, even though for drainage purposes they might link up. It does sound like a valve is not closing. Of course we're not under warranty now. Any ideas for locating these valves or finding out where they are located? Of course the answer is probably that we have to take it to a dealer or Camping World and pay hourly while they search...

Yes my mistake the outside kitchen and the 1/2 bath are on the same tank and 1/2 bath toilet has its own tank sorry for the confusion

I have a 2014 37BH. If you are getting water from the kitchen into your grey water in the 1/2 bath, you have 2 valves that are open. The front two tanks are linked with the rear two tanks via a 3 inch common drain that leads to your flexible hose. It also sounds to me like your are on an incline, with water draining from front to back.
