My question is; If I overflow the tank, will it just back up into the kitchen sink or would it overflow somewhere else first and cause water damage somewhere in the fiver?

That is assuming all the drain pipe connections are good and tight. If they are not tight, particularly the P trap, the backup will leak out through the loose connections. robertbick • View posts Upstate NY Senior Member Joined: 07/05/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/09/11 07:42am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Thanks!!! medic 66 • View posts East of the Mississippi New Member Joined: 08/19/2007 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 07/09/11 04:41pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I had the same issue with the same tank on my 5'er. I got a bottle of "SENSOR CLEANER" which is actually what it was called from our local RV dealer/repair shop. You empty the tank, put 8 oz's in the tank, then totally fill it up 100% full and let it set for 24 hours. Drain it again and my problem was solved. Kitchen sink soap scum and grease build up will affect those.

Agree with it backing up in the kitchen sink if all other components are working. robertbick • View posts Upstate NY Senior Member Joined: 07/05/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/11/11 07:09am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I just noticed that the vent is under the sink so I assume that if the tank overflowed, it would overflow right here under the sink. Is this correct? It seems to me that water would back up out of here before backing up into the sink unless these vents have some kind of valve that lets air in but not water out. Any tips? boiledcrabs • View posts louisiana Senior Member Joined: 12/25/2005 View Profile Posted: 07/11/11 07:17am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Maybe there's a check valve in the vent. robertbick • View posts Upstate NY Senior Member Joined: 07/05/2006 View Profile Offline Posted: 07/11/11 08:16am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator boiledcrabs wrote: Maybe there's a check valve in the vent.

That's what I would like to know. There is, it is designed to go down to let air enter not up which would let odors or worse yet water. If it ain't broke, the government will keep trying to fix it until it is.
