I purchased a flush kit (Tornado) for my TT this weekend, knowing that it will take both courage and know how to install it. Anticipating the challenge for next weekend, I looked under my trailer to see what I've got ahead of me and instantly remembered that my TT has a "sealed" underside - pretty predictable situation for my level of expertise Can anyone offer advice on what I should do to gain access to my black water tank for the installation process? I have a Sunset Creek 267RL.

Is your dump valve (on blackwater tank) exposed OR concealed in underbelly?
IF concealed, I recommend when you locate it, that you cut an appropriate sized access panel. Frame it and re-install with 6-8 screws. That will make any future repairs much easier.

It's pretty much just a matter of taking off whatever it takes to get the under belly panel off.

Try to leave one corner of the sheet attached such that you can rotate it out of the way vice actually removing it, this will make it much easier to reinstall. You may wanna add insulation to the space while you have it opened.

Thanks for the two ideas. I'm honestly not sure how the cover is mounted (but it sure looks big). I'll grab a beer (and a straw) and crawl under there when I get some time to inspect and contemplate. Thanks again.
