More dry humor....I guess I should always include a disclaimer notice:

Have not tried yet to empty but light indicate just 1 light and I taped on the gray and black tanks and they sound empty.  Thanks for the welcome to the group!!   I’m just starting to go through the trailer for things that may need attention.]]> Sat, 27 Jun 2020 19:11:23 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13708&PID=132996#132996 New owner of 171 : Blue water coming up into the... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13708&PID=132995#132995 Author: StephenH

Blue water coming up into the bowl? Ours does not do that. However, if it were indeed full, you would not be able to flush it at all. Is the toilet in yours original equipment or was it changed out for some other type?

As for the gauge, it is notoriously unreliable. The sensors get coated and then the tank will read full even when it has just been emptied.

Welcome and congratulations on your "new" RPod. I hope you have many fun adventures and make many great memories along the way.

Have you emptied the black tank? How do you know it is empty? Is it possible that it was not emptied by the previous owner?

Been camping in a small not self contained trailer for a few years and have been seeing the country.  Just got a 2016 171Hood River Edition and trying to learn how to work everything.  Wanted a self contained trailer so we would not have to use toilets and showers along the route.  When we travel we usually put on 4 to 5000 miles on trip.

  I guess my first question is...  my wife noticed some blue water come up in to the stool. I thought the black tank was empty and it is just sitting in the driveway..  Any thoughts would be appreciated Thanks, lowell
