Dt*: the contact stated after using the shower in the travel trailer, the water in the tub was not draining properly. Upon inspection of the black water waste tank behind the commode with the lever open, the waste pressure was built up and the contents of the tank splashed the contact's face and the surrounding area. There were no injuries sustained. The motor home was inspected by a dealer who determined this was the design of the waste tank. The manufacturer was alerted.
