Hey Mandy! Just saw your post. We are Newmar Dutch Star owners but are currently in Ruidoso NM camping next to a 2014 33.1 Palazzo. I was just visiting with the very nice owners and asked them how they liked it. They said this was their first trip since buying it in the beginning of June this year. It has been in the repair shop for 12 weeks since they bought it. Many problems from slides to other poor quality issues. Bought at Camping World. We were sitting outside visiting when the outside TV came on by itself!!! They are NOT happy campers!

Thanks for the welcome Herman ! Yes, the water is coming out of the vent pipe on the roof. There are two vents, one directly on top of the wet bay and another in the right rear corner of the roof. It only happens when the toilet is flushed.....but doesn't happen every time, and the grey tank open. I am assuming the vent over the wet bay is from the black tank. We ran a hose into that vent and the water came into the black tank. I only called thetford and Newmar and they told me to keep the grey tank closed. What I don't understand is how the grey tank being open or closed can create pressure in the black tank?????? Jack

Hi everyone! I have a new to me 2011 Dutch Star after trading in my new Tiffin 36la gasser whose engine blew up! Tiffin wouldn't help. The DSDP has a tecma silence plus toilet with the two flush button. During the last few weeks that we have had it flushing the toilet, on 4 occasions, has produced a shot of water out the black vent pipe.....mostly clear but smelly. The toilet bowl was empty until I flushed it again.Did not refill on its own. Grey tank was open, black tank about half full, vent pipe was clear ( put hose down it and water came into black tank). Called Thetford and they said to keep gray tank closed unless dumping or using washer. Called Newmar and they told me the same thing! Says some pressure is being created??? So....what do you all think?? Jack
