plugged sprayers for black tank

I never had this problem w/my two montys cause I bought them new and kept the backwash system clean. Well I didn't buy new this time and I've been trying to get the backwash system working right now its really plugged. I need some ideas Thanks Jack

On our last Monty I had the sprayer head plug up with you know what, and that was because I would overfill the tank if we were sitting in one spot for a while (sprayer is near the top of the tank). Now I will dump it when it is about half full. My fix was to drop the belly pan and remove the spray nozzle and then clean all the holes in the head, after that it worked great again. I will second the Happy Camper.

Jack, Just curious when you removed the check valve did you verify you were getting water that far? Jim

Jim yes I was I called Tiffin service and to my surprize Greg said you sprayer is on the right side of your bus just before the rear wheels.Once I removed that panel I could see the ends of all 3 tank plus the bedroom gas heater. I removed the sprayer and inside I found plumbers puddy I think I cleaned it and put in several more 1/16th holes. I was very happy I didn't have to drop a belly cover and tank. This bus has been easier to work on than the 3400RL. Its working and will clean the tank with Happy Camper on the way back to N.M. in Sept. Thanks Everyone I have a MOC license plate cover on the front of the bus and on the rear of our suv we tow this should get me in to any rallies we attend. Always a MOCer. Jack
