Black tank flush disconnected?

I believe the connection for the tank flush on my black tank has come disconnected. It worked fine the first year, but at the end of this season when I hooked up a hose and turned on the water, all the clean hose water just started running onto the ground behind the convenience center door, i.e., it looks like it's coming out from behind the "wall" of the convenience center.

Has anyone else experienced this, and more importantly does anyone have an idea on how to get to that part of the rig and fix it?. It looks like it might require disassembling have my Monty!

Thanks!

Sounds like the backflow prevention device has gone south. We have an after market flush. It has a screen to prevent trash from entering the nozzle. It clogged once, and all the water went in the underbelly (flush water).

On our previous 3400 (hopefully it is the same), you could remove the rear shroud from the convenience center fairly easily. There are screws at the bottom and top of the shroud that have to be removed. In addition, the shower trap will have to be removed (with a bucket or towels handy to catch spillage from the trap). The shroud can then be removed to gain access to the rear of the convenience center. As stated ours was a 2007 model so hopefully your newer model is the same.

This seems to be a rather common problem. I had mine replaced on this coach and my friend that purchased my old coach had to replace his about the same time. Mine was connected at a rather strange angle so the connection wasn't any good from the start and started leaking after about 6 months.
