I just had a real bad thought on this problem...
Is there any possibility that the "plug" from drilling the new tank was not
removed from the tank & it is wandering around inside the tank ?
Just a thought from previous experience..

Trey..
I have thought the same..
The tank came pre-drilled and I am sure we checked it.. but it may have been stuck to the bottom.
If it continues to happen I will explore that further when we get home.

That is a real problem with those new tanks. When I bought my new
black tank from Simmons, he warned me to clean the thing out
thoroughly before installing. I followed his advice and man, the
shavings just kept coming and coming. Took a lot of flushing to get
all the mfr leavings out of that thing.

Steve..
The travel part is great.. It is running so well.. And for now (at least) the holding system is OK..
We went to Canyon De Chelly Yesterday (Amazing) and today we are going to Petrified forest.
Tomorrow we are off to Williams and the Grand Canyon..
Then on to Sedona.
