Well they say never vary from routine and I found out way.... after draining my black tank I hooked the hose up to my black tank flush and had the drain valve closed and walked away.... Long story short and a loud pop later something broke. I have a 2012 Sprinter with the Extreme Thermal Package so the underside is sealed. I cut several holes in the underside to drain out the water and get air in to start to dry it out. I have checked all the connections in the bathroom and nothing is popped and no got inside, I refilled the black tank using the tank flush again and I am not getting any water out of the drain holes I cut. Does anyone know of a pressure valve or anything that may have popped or have any experience with this? I am not sure if repairs would be covered under my insurance or not. Any thoughts or advise would be appreciated.:banghead:
