2018 Chateau 31W Enclosed Sewer Plumbing

[Tony a]

I have a 2016 Chateau 21W. Your connection should line up with hole so you can hook up from underneath. I assume you haven't used it yet? Should be a warranty item. Good luck

OMG!! I thought we were the only ones! My husband fights with that every time!! We have a 2018 31w four winds same thing but yours looks much worse!! We haven’t done anything yet but are planning to take it back for repair

Of course it is. I purchased my ACE used and had to move the hole to be able to connect my hose properly. They probably get it wrong more often than they get it right.

I have the same issue on my thor challenger 37yt. the black tank drain is off set from hole. I ended up using 2 45 degree elbows and it helps. I have looked at other challengers and they are all the same , no quality control.

This puppy really helps my back and knees.

I would like to know what type of material you got off of Amazon to make that neat repair job.

I have a 2018 31W also and had the same problem. New to RVing I tried to use the sewer pipe coming through the outer door instead of through the screw out panel. NOT GOOD. Finally fixed myself with a dremel tool opening the screw out panel just enough to hook up sewer pipe. Perfect! and the screw out panel still screws in just fine.
