Laredo 335TG black tank flush vacuum breaker location?

[Bar-OneRanch]

While crawling in my trailer storage compartment to move the water pump and install an accumulator, I thought about looking for the dreaded vacuum breaker lines. In my trailer they do not go up under the sink, it looks like they go up with the shower feed lines. I do not see any access panel in the entertainment center in the living room to get to this if it fails. Does anyone have my trailer or a similar model and figured out how to get to it? If I have a problem I could probably run new tubing up under the sink and mount one there if I had to, just looking to see if anybody with a similar trailer has already figured this one out.
Thanks
Chris

It's not uncommon for the vacuum breaker to be behind the shower wall. If you need to access it, you have to remove the faucet assembly. Not sayin it's easy either.

Sounds like a reroute to under the sink might be easier when the time comes, Thanks

Although our models are different, the access to the vacuum breaker is behind a panel in the entertainment center. The panel is held in place by a couple of vertical wooden pieces which are screwed into the main frame of the center. It's not something that is easily seen - took me a while to discover it - with help from hankaye.

I'll have to check on that tomorrow, that sounds very promising, Thanks

Checked my entertainment center today, no access panel. On mine the entire wall is the paneling and the entertainment center is three sided and screwed to the paneling. Guess I'll cross that bridge when I have a problem.

Chris -
Thanks for the update and too bad that the entertainment center location yielded no results. In many cases, the vacuum breaker is in direct line with your outside black tank flush connection but once it disappears into the interior of the RV, who knows where it goes and behind which wall, partition, or compartment it can be found.

Hopefully, someone with the exact same model will spot your thread and tell you exactly where it is located. In view of the past history of these plastic breakers failing and ending up with water all over the place, it would be good to know where it is - just in case.

Chris mine was in the shower wall also behind the entertainment center. I ended up taking a wall down in my basement and crawling in behind the entertainment system and was able to access them there. Maybe yours is the same set up as mine.

Was it just slipped up into the cavity there or was it attached at the top?
I'm working in the crawl space on some mods and can see it going up there, wondering if maybe I just give it a tug if it would pull down into the crawl space?
Thanks

Chris is was just tucked up there. I ended up pulling that whole section out and putting the vacuum breaker (made of brass) on the outside to eliminate the fears I had of the plastic ones breaking and flood my electronics and basement. I had two in there because I have two black tanks. Yours should be fairly close to being the same as mine.
