297 rsts Reflection waste tank valves
Awww crap....literally. Was walking by the trailer and noticed a drip on the drain pipe from under the cap... carefully opened it (I've been to this circus before) and find that it is from the black water tank.
I had noticed from the start that my tanks drain much slower than any other rig I have had, but to this moment have not really thought much about it... they drained and I was happy... now I obviously have a leaky valve.
Is this a common problem with GD or these particular trailers? How about the slow draining?
I know in the spring I need to drop the coroplast to finish the job that GD started when they built this but I am curious, those of you that have tackled the waste tanks, how bad a job is it?
Did you make any modifications to make it better while you were there?

Are you sure it is a leak or residual in the piping from the tank to the discharge?
The valve is at the tank and there is a good bit of pipe until it terminates.Steve- Inventory Manager at Tom Schaeffer's RV, Shoemakersville, PA www.tomschaeffers.com

Have not had an issue with the valves or tanks on our 297RSTS. The only thing I am starting to wonder is if they are draining all the way or not. Only had issues with the black tank sensors on my Rockwood but on this one I have issues on both grey too which makes me wonder.

I have not had any problems yet. We are finished for the season until our winter trip in Jan. It wouldn't surprise me though. We have found a new problem every time out.
