Sewer flush problem

New owner here connected
hose to sewer flush, didn't see a lot of flush thru clear sewer pipe but did have spray coming from under body of trailer. Could there be a disconnect? Any way to get to sewer spray line? Thanks.

Could be a faulty back flow preventer which for many is under the bathroom sink. If not check connections behind the convenience center. If that doesn't do it, then you will have to remove the panels underneath and so you can see where it connects to the holding tank.

My issue with flush when I got my montana was no screened washer in the flush inlet and it was still too loose, so I had to add a regular washer as well. Now I leave a two foot hose connected to it all the time and connect another hose to this when I want to flush out the tank. Tried using the small diameter hose for the outside shower...but the flush was really poor using that. If the flush connection isn't the issue and the check valve under the sink is not causing the leak and everything behind the conv. center wall is good...then the spray inlet is on the front of the black tank and you can easily check out the connection there by taking out the screws holding up the front of the front corregated plastic underbelly and looking there.

Water in the basement usually means the check valve has failed. As you have a 2955RL, the check valve is behind the shower wall. Access to it is through the kitchen cabinet nearest the sliding door (door has to be closed to access the valve). There should be a removable panel but it often is poorly located to reach the valve.

Do a "Search" using "check valve" "flush valve" or such and you should find lots of previous posts including pictures. You will have to check the "Archived posts" box on the Search panel to find much of the history.

If there is no water inside on your carpets, and no water in the basement, then the leak is likely in the belly at the tank.

When my anti siphon valve failed (in the wall behind the shower) it flooded the carpet near my steps to the bedroom.
