Well, it's not definite yet, but we just went out for an overnight shakedown cruise to test everything on the RV and so far it seems to be holding up. It's back in the driveway on an angle again so...

For better or worse, the 5200 is on there now. :) I suppose if this doesn't work, it will be the shop's problem and I will blame previous owner lol.

Apparently either this never comes up, or no one posts their secret. I think I have googled every variation of this I can find. The closest I can find is the 3-M 5200, which came up in a couple of...

I am about 90% sure I am going to be rebuilding the connection from the grey tank to the gate valve.

As far as I can tell, the eccentric reducer should slip over the collar of the grey tank...

Yeah, I am going to clean it up more before applying. There is a bit of silicon still I need to scrape off and then I figured I would lightly sand both plastics, then clean it up again.

Cleaned back up again ... still leaking from same spot (maybe worse now? lol thanks gorilla glue).

And as you can see, gorilla glue silicon sealant was crap. Pulled right off. It says it would...

I am just hoping that it works. Otherwise I think the next step would be to disassemble the entire drain system and rebuild it.

Well... off to order the 5200. Tried the gorilla glue shit for plumbing + flex tape. Still leaking. Now I get the fun of cleaning up the mess so I can try the next thing.

I'll listen next time...

Permanent scares me. :) Means a lot of extra work if I have to pull apart the plumbing in the future.

My guess was wrong. :)

Lot's of reading later, I have a pretty good idea how the whole tank drain system goes together. Definitely not engineered very well, but I suppose it works. Going to go...

My best guess from looking at the parts: It looks like something was probably out of alignment somewhere, either during construction or a later repair, so rather than fixing it correctly the tank...

Might be overkill but I was thinking getting some JB Weld for plastic and then putting a layer of flex tape over that. Looks like the bottom part either wore out from time and road debris damage, or...

What's funny is that you can see where the clamp was cranked on around the plastic as it left indentations, but I am not sure what exactly they were trying to clamp.

Alright, went out and cleaned it up. Took off that clamp, it was literally clamping nothing. If I had to guess they probably had it around the seal at one time.

Cleaned up there appears to be...

For some reason I thought that was the black tank, but it is right under the shower and confirmed the valve is grey. So only grey tank, I am less worried now lol. Still need to fix it, but I will try...

That's not a bad idea. I am assuming if I loosen that clamp though to slide the tape under there I could loosen more things up... but it doesn't seem that clamp is actually doing anything.
