Time to swallow my pride and hopefully prevent others from my mistake. While emptying my black water tank, I decided to close the drain valve and fill the tank almost full to flush it out. Well....while filling, I started chasing butterflies and forgot to turn off the water. Boom! my trailer rocked and starting leaking yucky water out from coroplast. My gallon counter read only 1 gallon too much, but the was enough. There was also a backup of water into the toilet bowl. While trying to troubleshoot, I had a friend man the hose shut off while I watched into the open toilet bowl for the tank to fill. As soon as the water got close, I had him turn off water. I had lowered coroplast enough to see the black water tank. Water started running down the side of the black water tank, originating from the top of the tank. I obviously blew either a seal or the tank.
I went to the dealer and was told its going to be 4 months wait to get in and then if I need a new tank, who knows how much longer.
Since I'm pretty handy (even if not very smart), I thought I'd attempt to drop the tank myself and just order a new one. Any advise on how to drop the tank??? By my figuring, there's a vent, a connection to toilet, a connection for flushing and an electrical connection for tank heater. All advise would be greatly appreciated.
