Default Black tank flush

Hey guys , I have a black tank flush on the side of my xt-276 to hook the hose to and it says to open the black valve before turning on the water , so I tried it and nothing was happening , nothing coming out sewer hose , and you couldn't really hear the water flowing in it . I think this hose is kinted somewhere ??? Anybody have this also ?

My XT276 has the black tank flush. I use the black tank flush after draining the black tank at the campsite. With the black tank drain open, hookup the hose and turn the water on. I let it flush until the discharge from the sewer dump hose runs clear.

Yours should do the same unless no fresh water is entering.

Make sure you are actually hooking to the tank flush and not city water connection. Sounds silly but I found myself doing that one time.

Yes , it is in the black water clean out hook up , the city water is up front on the other side of the slide out. Can I trace out this hose or is it going threw the walls of the rv. I hate to bring it back to dealer , 2 hrs each way and I am afraid they will rip stuff apart and put it back in a jackleg way like most places in this county !!!

If you don't want to return to the dealer - 2 hr drive - perhaps a call to Cruiser RV factory customer service will provide some possible solutions and/or route of the fill hose inside the unit and how to access it?

Good call , eagle , I will do that and see if they can help out some , have a long weekend so I might try to check it out again and see what I can find out with it . Also Checked into adding another bed to the happyjac system in the back of the trailer , so I can have 2 beds back there , and they said it is possible with getting a few parts from them , so I will look into doing that this winter , and see how it goes !!!

Well , I took it into my own hands today , took some stuff apart and found out the wood panel in the trailer under TV can come out 4 screws . This is where all the hose is stuffed into the wall , a 6 foot piece of hose stuffed into a 2 foot wall section , no wonder why it didn't work , kinit in 2 spots water cant flow threw that , plus some other jack leg electrical work I fixed , there really should be codes for these trailers , I am happy with this toy hauler , knew it wasn't going to built like my house . And I am glad I am really handy !!! So I fix it with a short piece of hose and new fitting from lowes , works great now and I can keep my black tank clean !!!Just glad I didnt spemd 65,000 dollars on a 5th wheel built the same way or even worst !!!!

Glad it was an easy fix and not a major problem.

To bad some lame brain at the factory failed miseribly at their job which turned into a project for you.

Yea Thanks eagle , People that have jobs take no pride in the work they do at all its sad , I own my own business , and doing well because I put the customer first and love my job and have a smile on everyday and care about the work I do . I got a new washer and dryer today from sears for my wife , guys that bought them to the house and set them up was a circus act between the 2 of them . Slide them out of the box scratch it right up and laughed about it in the back of the truck , Then didn't have a screw driver for the dryer vent , dryer vent was wrong , came out back , has to come out side , no customer service skills , showed up and said " whats up " I was thinking really !!!! Man handle the washer and dryer like it was scrap metal , so I call sears to complain , sales man says sorry , said manger will call back tonight , nope !!!!! This is the world we live in today , I am glad my parents raised me well !!!! Sorry for the long story!!

Agree with everything you wrote Securityman.
Having started & owned acouple businesses in my life, (in process of selling my 50% ownership in one) and also worked for a few years as regional vp for a national corp. ~ I'm well aware of customer service and individual responsibility. Most employees today have zero common sense or people skills.
Good customer service generates word of mouth advertising that no amount of money can buy.
It is appalling how some companies and their employees treat customers....like oh well, to bad.
