I don't think so, in all of my shopping around for fiver and tt in haven't seen it. Really you will hardly need that big of a waste tank in above a week or even two weeks, now you might want to look because it's probably two gray water tanks, one for the kitchen and the other for the shower.

We have the 2018 29bhdb and we love it! It has 2 black water and 2 grey water tanks. The front gray water is for the front bathroom sink and shower. The rear grey water tank is for the kitchen, outdoor kitchen, and rear bathroom. I tested this when I first got the trailer.

But more to the point, to answer your question, yes there is only one black tank flush and it is only for the front black tank. I don't understand why if it has 2 bathrooms why they didn't build it with 2 black tank flushes, but they didn't. It's really my only complaint. I guess I need to get over my first world problems!

Do you they four tanks empty in the same spot so you only need one sewer hose or are they separate?

The 4 tanks do NOT empty in the same place. The front bathroom grey and black tanks empty in front of the driver side tires. The kitchen, outside kitchen, and rear bathroom grey and black tanks empty in the rear of the trailer on the drivers side. So you need 2 sewer hoses and a Y adapter.

I actually bought a new truck last week. A 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with the 5.3L. I have not pulled the 29bhdb with my 2016 Silverado yet but I did pull it with my 2009 Silverado with the 5.3L. The engine and tranny are willing but it does sag the rear end a bit even with weight distribution hitch. I probably wouldnt use this combo if I was traveling long distances or in mountains or large hills. But we camp on a seasonal site so I only have to pull it twice a year on flat terrain less than and hour.

Before we got a seasonal site we used to travel quite a bit. We used to have the white hawk 28dsbh back then. The white hawk was about 3 ft shorter and 1500lbs lighter and my 2009 Silverado with the 5.3 pulled it without issue.

Sounds like a nice unit. I had a Jayco once that did not have a black tank sprayer, so I installed an aftermarket jet sprayer into the black tank. You can install one or have a service center install one for you. There are a couple of brands to choose from. The aftermarket one I installed worked better than the any factor installed black tank sprayers I’ve had since then.

FYI, my 2018 29BHDB that I picked up last week DOES have 2 blank tank sprayers, on forward in awning side and one rear on drivers side. Looks like another late 2018 update.

I am jealous. I never understood why they didnt put in 2 black tank sprayers when you have 2 black tanks.

I would think that would be 3/4 ton territory with all the weight not to mention the length (needing stability) 3/4 tons have much better braking capabilities also, making it safer to tow

Off topic but, if you have sag in the rear your WDH is improperly sized or setup. During setup you pretty much put half the tongue weight onto the trailer axles and half onto the front axels Some will hit the back but your talking a very limited amount that even my sante fe can hold up in the rear.
