2017 thor freedom elite 29 foot toilet is clogged

[joethor17]

Toilet is clogged on the 2017 freedom elite, how do I fix this. every time I open the toilet water comes in and fills up more. Nothing comes out of the Sewage valve . So that means there's too much paper clogged in the toilet. How do I turn off the water valve to the toilet? Help

Usually there's not a valve at the toilet, you'll have to turn off all water at the faucet. I assume you've opened the valve to drain the black tank? Hopefully you're not leaving the black valve open all the time, only open when time to drain. Using plenty of water per flush? If the drain valve is plugged there's only one way to unplug it which is (pardon the pun) a real sh###y job.

Yeah I stuck one of those long wire drain cloggers from Lowe's from the toilet and Iit wentall the way down, until there was no more wire. I turned off the water from the faucet so there is no water going to the toilet now but I put the long wire went through the drainage pipe and it seem to be stuck somewhere in the middle under the RV I'm going to try and use a plunger now,

No chance you have 2 black tank valves and are not opening them both? I know, stupid thought but when I got my current motorhome I had no idea that there were 2 black tank valves.

You have a second dump valve. It is located behind and to the rear of the entry door. Bend down and look. You'll see it. It's not marked.

If your black tank is on the opposite side to your drain, there is probably a valve in the drain before the drain crosses the RV. You will probably have to get down low to see it. Mine is right above the exhaust pipe.

I keep the valves closed, closing the valve on the drivers side last so the pipe across the RV stays empty until I drain the tank. Probably designed that way in case a rock hits the pipe and causes a leak, making a mess on the road.

Thanks! That was the problem! I didn't know! Last night After nothing working I was just about to give up, something told me to to look under the RV and under the toilet side.....and Bam! There is was! Another valve as soon as the i pulled it, I was gold! I'm just pissed (no pun intended) that's I was was never shown it on the RV walk around from the dealer, we only had it one day before we went camping and brand new RV...

Hey thanks for the pointers, I didn't know about the second valve... found out by just being curious looking under the toilet black tank side after nothing else worked....I was never told or shown by the salesman about that other valve! this forum is awesome!
