I'm wondering if anybody has had experience with a plugged black water line? Looking back I think it occurred from my not using enzymes and having my pod parked in a storage lot for 8 months. Probably a great environment for fungi to grow!
Also there is a hose connector on the door side of my 179. Is that attached to a sprinkler for cleaning the black water tank? Instructions say to operate it while draining the black water. What do you do if there is no faucet on that side?
Still learning,

Yes, the curb side has a black tank flush connection. All of the dump station I have used have a flush water spigot available. I also carry a hose in case none is provided.

Thank you Cliff.
Have you found that Emzines make a difference? 15 years ago when I had my first trailer we felt they were a nice perfume, but didn't do anything.

Not really sure what difference they make. We do use treatments, lightly. So far so good.
