Uh-oh!!!
DW wife said the kitchen sink was not draining on our Imagine 2670MK. That meant it was time to drain the black tank, then the gray's. Went outside, pulled the black tank t-valve, and nothing. lifted the rhino hose at the TT outlet connection and it was empty. Closed/pushed in the black tank valve, then opened the front/kitchen gray tank and it drained and I left it open. Re-tried the black tank and got a trickle of a flow..... Now what?? Suggestions???
Thanks!

In your opinion is the valve opening or could the cable have come off?
What does the pull feel like?

Can only be three things
Valve not opening
Valve open and plugged
Tank is empty
What are your thoughts on how full it is?
I am sure you know to use lots of water when flushing. Do you think it could be a block?
Is there a chance it was not closed all the way and drained all the liquid ? Unlikely but....

I would open the black valve and run the tank flush a small amount to see what happens
Do you have a clear elbow to see?
Just make sure you don’t run it long Don’t want to add more water if it won’t drain

Well, I can definitely confirm its not empty. I suspect a blockage. After each drain, I usually open the toilet valve for about two full cycles to add water before "adding any solids". I know I want to avoid mounds due to not enough water. So what options do I have if it is a blockage?
I should add, it's probably been 3 days since last black tank drain, and it worked fine then.Steve & Pat

Not a lot though because you don’t want to make it worse
You can get tank clean outs that hook onto the outlet and you put a hose on it to shoot water from the outside in. But I don’t know how effective they are. Quite the distance from the connection to the tank

NB Canada pretty much got the causes bang on. If you look down the toilet can you see or hear liquid? If so the you have a clog. Happen to us last summer on our last trip but it was all on us for carelessly not using enough water. This helped us get back on track. https://youtu.be/BUmPMGDEKxY we modified the technic a little but the concept is the same.
