San-T-Flush Problem
I have a 2015 3905 that I picked up new about 3 weeks ago. I was trying to flush my black water tank using the san t flush system but ran into a problem. It seems my flush system is attached to my fresh water tank not my black water tank.
I’m posting a video to see if anybody could possibly explain what’s going on or if someone had a similar problem and how they fixed it.

When my sani-flush is hooked up I can stand on the toilet pedal in the bath and hear the very loud & distinct sound of the spray in the black tank.
If it was inadvertently hooked to your fresh tank, switching it back would be bigger job than I would want to tackle and I'd take the heats advice.

I would if I could, but I'm in Boston and the dealer is in Denver. Going to be finding a local dealer for Keystone within the next week or so and then I'll decide if I'm going to keep this wreck or not. I have a page full of issues that are almost as weird and big as this. I've taken care of a lot of minor and some major issues, but some will need to be done with the floors, underbelly and walls removed.

I'm sure you're frustrated with your grocery list of issues. I too, was in the same predicament that you're in. My servicing dealer was a gazillion miles away.
In the basement, take the 20 +/- screws out of the wall closest to your utilities area. Once open you can follow the water lines. I had a leaking San-T-Flush line behind my wall. It may be as easy as redirecting a pex line.
Good luck

Glad you posted this....I have been having a good amount of water coming out of the belly whenever we would hook up to leave, this morning, after hooking up, again, more water. I flushed tanks twice these last two weeks. The water is clean, so I know it is not grey or black. I also know it is not a plumbing leak, per se, we have been using the water pump in the evenings, since the WX has been freezing. So I figure I have a leak with the black tank flush. The lines behind my wet bay are dry, so I am going to drop the belly to see if the connection on the starboard side of the tank is loose.

I have already removed the walls in the basement and found it leaking from 3 places in my bathroom. The line from the Flush isn't leaking, it's connected to my fresh water tank...I can and did fill my fresh water tank using the San t flush line. My black water remained empty the whole time it was hooked up.

That is absolutely horrible. Just like I've said here many times. Well-designed, good parts procured, but put together by idiots! At least you're in off-season, give them the riot act!

Well that sucks! Warranty, for sure.
On another note, I notice you use a potable water hose to connect to the San-T-Flush. Normally you would not want to do this as it is generally accepted that black/grey water hoses are not mixed with potable water hoses.

Thanks but now worries there. I use my potable hose once I realize it was connected to my fresh water tank. When I filled my tank the first time it spurted air and water out the San-T-Flush port and after short time it began leaking out of it consistently. I put the hose on the Flush port to show the results.
Another side note...
I tried to winterized our rig before this weeks freeze and found that my winterization line was not connected, I climbed back into the belly and found the end of it that should have gone to the pump just hanging below the floor. I finally got it attached and working, but the frustration is getting a bit much.

It a new rig man, I think I'd park it at the dealership for the winter and get this stuff fixed. You have some serious problems there that should be on the dealer and not you.

I agree IF you have no intentions of using your rig this winter - get it to the dealer NOW!
