I owe the members an update on the back flush line. I posted a string on moving my black water flush to the drivers side, next to the black water drain. I did this because the black water flush on passenger did not work, because the one way valve in the line was backwards and it is in the shower wall and not accessible without removing the sink. I took the tank port out today and evidently someone thought the spray head in the tank was the issue. They drove something thru it, screwdriver, I don't know. I repaired the in tank spray head, reassembled and it all works fine. BLUF is my Pod in fact had a spray capability at one time as they all do, and now has a spray capability again but the hose is on the drivers side. Happy Trails.

So that hose connection on the passenger side somewhat aft is black water tank flush? I was told it was grey water flush which made no sense to me at all. I have been filling my black water tank via the toilet and flushing it that way....and it sucks. Good news for me.

Yes, aft of door on my 178, standard hose connection w/cover. To my knowledge there is no grey water flush. If you hook hose to it and get nothing to tank, odds are the 1 way valve is in backwards. On the 178 it is in the shower wall and you have to remove sink to access. That's what started my project. Plus I wanted my flush to be co-located with the black tank drain. Not on other side.

Yeah, grey water flush made no sense to me. That's what the jag-off that sold me the camper said.
