Do you have any idea what the chances are of that piece actually coming out???? It is near impossible! The size of the cutout is obviously larger than the ID of the drain pipe, amazing....You were very lucky as most folks have this thing floating around in there for the life of their trailer.

Well, now that you say that it may still be in there!

I always thought the piece I saw floating around in the tank was black (the same color as my holding tanks). But the piece that was lodged in the elbow was a milky opaque-like color... sort of the color you find on a coffee can or pringles can. I always assumed that I must have been mistaken of the color when looking down the toilet. Perhaps not.

I also heard of a couple of Jaycos that had a problem with their valve. It was not opening all the way, so it would take a long time to drain. From what I remember the owner had to replace the valve.
