I have a 2019 31MB fifth wheel, on our most recent campout the black tank sprayer stopped spraying, it worked 2 weeks ago. When I hook up the water hose to the inlet and turn it on I can hear water entering the black tank and it flows out the discharge pipe but I cannot hear the sprayers working like I always have. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue.

For the sprayer issue, my guess is the sprayer head is clogged with debris. You might try the "Geo method" (google that term and you'll find a lot of websites) to try and agitate the debris loose. Best to do before departing on a travel day.
The black tank flush system is very simple, so not sure what else it could be.

The picture below is the sprayer on the black tank in my 315RLTS. I think mine is the "ABS Tank Spray Head" as shown in the Nautilus parts manual.

Bottom line: I would not attempt removing to clean. Replace? Maybe...but it won't be a fun job. At least on my trailer it is tight working in that space.

Do you have enough water pressure? I'm on a well (and I have my own dump to my septic tank). I just recently realized that the black tank sprayer must be on some type of gear-drive that rotates it as I can hear it spray-rotate-spray-rotate....
I hadn't been using a good water supply prior and never heard it until recently. 303RLS 5th wheel.

On edit - I believe the picture is just the connection to the spun in spray head.Last edited by Yoda; 09-15-2020, 09:16 PM.2018 Reflection 150 Series 220RK 5th whee, Star White 2022 F350 King Ranch CC Long bed (HAL) (CCC 4062lbs), B&W 25K OEM Companion,.

The GD part does not appear to be either of these.

But does appear to be of a fixed spray pattern design. (This is from my imagine 2017 parts list off the parts lookup:

That being said. I used mine for the first time this weekend, and I would have sworn it was spinning too.Mike
