    Unhappy Black Water tank seems slow to empty

    First time in the reflection 5th wheel after 3 days the tank seemed to fill too quick so emptied but it seem to flow too slow not compared to the motor-home I had, When I pulled the valve it was just slow (I'm the 2nd Owner) with the motor-home when I pulled the valve it would gush thru the hose, Now I wonder if the first Owners did not know what they were doing and not used chemicals, or if it is the trait of the grand design reflection 5th wheel, Does anyone know or can tell me how there black water tank dumps????? Is it fast or slow????? Mine just filled the hose then sort of flowed slowly...

    We have the Reflection TT, but no doubt it should gush out. There is either a blockage or the valve isn't opening all the way. There are ways to clear blockages if your not aware of them already.

    Are you sure there was a lot in the black tank? Three days isnt a lot of time for the black tank. If you were going by the tank fullness lights, these are notoriously inaccurate.
