Has anyone else had any problem with clogs in the line running from the toilet to the black water tank on the 182G? We make sure there is water in the tank before use and use only RV approved tissue, yet we've still had two episodes of clogging. We use a lot of water when flushing, so I am at a loss for what is causing it other than the fact that the pipe makes an angle turn before emptying into the tank. This is the first rig I've had that didn't have a straight run into the tank.

More fiber in your camping diet?

If you have had other RV's.. my guess is you know how to use the thing properly.. Smile

Could try flushing some water first, then doing your buisness, then flushing again, to kind of lube the turn so to speak.. I do know my mom and dad's class C has a weird turn that causes them problems every now and again.. he carries a special piece of hose he made up for pushing/flushing when needed.. Confused

I don't have an answer to your question. But it is so good to "see" you again. I had thought you had migrated away from the pod, but it appears you have in fact traded yours in for a 182G. When did that happen? I've missed the Texas group on the boards. Don't be a stranger.
