So I'm back
This Trailer is an emotional rollercoaster. Keep on running into little set backs, but always happy when I can knock something off the list.
Really need this thing to be up to snuff for a trip around Lake Superior in 3 weeks.... Will be hard to sell my better half on RVing if things aren't working right....
Anyway, now I am looking into the fresh water system. Already hooked it up to the house and that seems fine. However, looking at the fresh water tank, it was empty, but looks like some sort of slime had grown on the walls of the plastic tank. Filled it part way and you can see it floating around. Anyhow, is there a trick to cleaning that out? Perhaps an additive that will break it up so it will drain?
I did take a hose attached to a wet vac and sucked it out, but have little control over the hose inside the tank as far as sucking up the crud. The drain is to small and plugs up easily as well. I also disconnected the discharge from the pump and ran a hose from it outside. Of course it plugged up... I knew it wasn't going to work, but I had to try it. :
Thanks for your continued help
