I read a lot about those being installed incorrectly, guess I was lucky mine was installed correct. Good luck Happy Tripping, it's part of the fun learning how to make repairs.

On a 179 the one-way flush valve is located way up under the bathroom sink. It was a black plastic valve.   I had to reverse my valve because it was installed backwards. I also had to flush out the water line going to the black tank because black water was able to back up into the line. I had to remove the spray end that is installed in the black tank and clean it out. I hope this helps you.  Overall it wasn't a hard job and it let me know my system better.

Hello.

I have a 171 and have been very happy with it. The only thing ... It's inevitable, SOMETHING had to go wrong - my black water tank flush was installed incorrectly, no flush. From 'Search' I guess that this is a fairly common error.

There is a panel in the shower wall next to the bed that MAY allow access to the 'affected area' but it is neatly sealed and I don't want to unscrew it unless I have to. Does anyone know how to access the tubing in a 171 to get at the flush valve??

Thanks
