Water Bottle In Black Holding Tank





I have a 2009 Fuzion FZ 403, last fall while winterizng it in Alaska, I accidentally dropped a water bottle in my empty black tank. I think a cap was on the bottle, but not sure. The bottle is not visible from the top.

I would be grateful for any suggestions on how to remove bottle. I’m hope I don’t need to drop the tank. I called Keystone, but not drawings or schematics.

Thank you,

Mickey

I have a couple of ideas that you may consider.
If the bottle is capped it may be possible to fill the black tank completely and see if it floats up to the closet flange. Rocking the trailer may help too. You may then be able to reach it from there. If not dumping the black tank may draw it out the sewer. I think I would run a hose down the toilet when the black tank is near empty to help it along.

Good luck!

Fill the tank and float it up would be my suggestion as well. Get a cheap snake camera to stick in the toilet.

I saw this and had to giggle, when I bought my camper it was full of , diapers, socks, wipes, condoms, underwear, and varieties of plastics. I bought some calf birthing gloves, put a high power nozzle on the end of a hose and went to work digging every thing out as it floated by. I'd suggest removing the commode.

I believe I will pass on any vivid descriptions, but just comment that the removing the commode is what I'd do first. However, if there is no direct drop from the commode to the tank then that might not help you much.
