A great RU-vid video on cleaning both grey and black tanks with no bleach. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wUWGlm2gQfE.html Black tank cleaning After dumping the black tank and refilling it 1/3 with water 2-3 times to rinse it out follow these steps to an odor free black tank. Add 1-2 Gallons of water in the toilet. Next add 1/2 cup of Borax Soap in the toilet and flush. Borax has water softeners and provides oxidation (by way of the reaction of water and Borax soap which creates Hydrogen peroxide for oxidation) which will break down solids and particulates. Next add 1/4 cup of Dawn soap in the toilet and then flush the toilet. (don't be cheap use Dawn as it works the best.) Now you are done and will have an odor free black tank without using harmful bleach in your system. All done till your next black tank dump. Grey tank cleaning, Same as blank but also add 2 cups of Zep citrus orange cleaner as the last step. This and the Dawn helps break gown fats and oils from skin and whatever oils are left over on dishes, pots and pans while adding a fresh scent.

Super tip: Close the black tank valve and let the flush hose fill your tank for about 7 minutes, then pull the black tank valve open and you will be shocked what comes out! Repeat this process a couple of times and you will continue to see waste in each flush. Simply leaving your flush running doesn’t really cut it, you must fill and dump at least twice.
@HappilyEverHanks
@HappilyEverHanks 2 года назад
Thank you for sharing Jonathan! We actually add this into our process but didn't want to advise teaching people to shut the valve and let it fill up if they are newbies. Too many stories where people forgot and it overflowed! You are right though, so much will come out if done right!

When I flush, I turn off the flow into the tank, let it sit then flush again. Works well.

I do the same. I'll add ~10 gallons in my 40 gal black tank through the flush, then empty, and I was surprised what came out. Then I'll use the flush tank to add ~4 gal for my treatment (10%). save a drop water meters are great. Great video. I live in central PA

You’re not supposed to use the black tank flush with the valve closed.

Another tip I saw that seems valuable: dump your grey tank for a minute FIRST. That way if you have a leak or if there's any problem with the sewer hookup, the fluids that escape are grey tank. Highly preferable to leaking sewage water. When you see everything is fine, close the grey tank and THEN open the black tank.

A great tip for newbies is to slow down and calm down when backing your rig into your spot. If there are people waiting to drive past your spot, let them wait!! If you try and hurry so you don’t hold them up, that’s when mistakes will happen and they can be pricey! Most other campers will understand and if they don’t, that’s their problem. If you run the rig into a tree or a pedestal, the people waiting will just drive on by, leaving YOU with an expensive repair.

Newbie learning curve...day 5 of solo rv living, after I washed dishes late one night, the toilet backflowed. The sensors didn't indicate I was anywhere close to needing a dump. Getting all my oopsies out of the way in the beginning. lol Love your videos! You guys are my go-to.
@karenegge2070

I have an additional tip. I carry a second sewer hose in a second black hose container that I've strapped to our rig. We have been to a few sites where they were originally a dry camp set up and added dump hook-ups later. They were usually in the front of the sites for probably "ease to add" reasons. Anyway, our one hose would not reach. For the same reasons, we got an extension for our power cable and fresh water hose as well. The power cord is a little heavy but worth it in my opinion.
@Darkmuda01
@Darkmuda01 3 года назад
We're soon to be RV'ers, so I found your videos to learn some of the basics. I am just in the process of watching this one, and have a slight correction/suggestion. I deliver fuel for a living, and the process is similar in that spills are highly frowned upon in both black tank emptying and fuel tank emptying. My suggestion is, when hooking or unhooking the hose, always start with the empty end. At the beginning, connect the hose to the ground fitting first, then the RV. At the end, disconnect the RV end first, then the ground. That way, no big mess in the beginning if you accidentally open the gate valve. At the end, you'll be able to "walk out" any left over liquid that is left in the hose and drain it into the ground tank. If you follow that order every time, spills and even drips will be almost non-existent. Great videos!

We don’t rv full time, but we have owned an rv for a few years now and take it out camping all the time. I never knew about the burp for knowing when your black tank is full! Thanks for that tip. Last year we went on a longer than usual trip and once our sensor said full We kind of freaked out and found other toilets to use (there were some nasty campground toilets that fit the bill for the last 2 days of our trip). It hadn’t started burping, so now that I know that tip I’ll have more peace of mind on our longer trips!

After a few times of looking for rocks to put on the 90° end of the sewer hose, my wife came up with the great idea of filling a long sock or two, one inside the other, with river rock and placing on top as weight to prevent 90° from popping out. Works great.

I use a water meter on the flush hose. once the flushing is somewhat clear, I turn off the water, let the tank drain. shut the black valve and fill the tank with water while monitoring how many gallons go into the tank. turn off the water when about 95% of tank capacity has gone in. open the black valve and you'll be shocked how much color comes out. do it at least twice, maybe three times. that's what I call a super flush.

First, Great Content! Very fun and informative videos. Keep up the good work! Speaking of cross contamination.. You should consider the order of hooking up and disconnecting your dedicated flush hose. You don't want to leave nasties on your knows that will get transferred when you aren't wearing those gloves. 😉 Ideally, you aren't using the same gloves after you handled the black tank hose, to hook up to the water spigot and your clean water panel. Hooking the flush hose up first, before your hands and gloves are dirty, and disconnecting it last, after you have secured your black tank hose and cleaned your gloves, should keep the dirty germs off of your water supply panel.

I'll do this process twice. You'll be surprised the additional stuff (klingons) coming out. Cheers! Jeff and Sandy

I'm not so sure that the black tank is the scariest thing about RVing. We all stand a chance of running into you guys one day. Now THAT would be scary. Not really guys, I'm betting you guy would be a scream to camp with. Keep the good stuff coming and give Dexter a treat for me.

I’ve watched many different Rv videos and owned a Rv for over thirty years, after a thirty year career of driving transport trucks North America wide and one weekly practice that should be practiced is checking the wheel bearing temperatures. Immediately after driving walk around and touch the rims near the lug nuts. If you find one wheel hotter than the others it may need attention and serviced if all feel the same temperature then the bearings are running good. I even do this with my small utility trailers.

A good way to really clean your tank and sides after you run the black tank flush if you have one. I put around 5 gallons of water in the tank and then put a 10-20 pound bag of ice down the toilet into the tank. Then drive to your next destination and when you get there all the side will be scrubbed clean. I was amazed at what all was stuck to the sides now it will be really cleaned. Hope this helps someone.

Another idea……when using the hose support, hook up hose, let it sag to ground, then place it on the hose support. This acts as a P-trap and prevents sewer gas from entering the RV. Remove the sag when you’re ready to dump.

For those that store the hose in the bumper of their travel trailer, I found it promotes rust and eventually wears pin holes in the ribs of the hose. I purchased an expandable plastic hose sewer hose tube from CW and mounted it to the frame in front of the axles, so there is no way for it to drag. Not wanting to drill holes in my aluminum frame I purchased 36”/1”square aluminum tubing at Lowe’s and cut two 10 in lengths from it. I attached one to the frame on each side with 3m extreme hold tape, and attached the hose tube to them with stainless screws.

When it comes to backing up your rig, regardless of size, practice before you take off on your first trip. Drive to an empty parking lots somewhere, school parking lot, mall, town park, and practice backing into a spot. Get used to how much space you need, how sharp you can turn etc. etc. It is also easier to back up when the trailer is turning toward the driver's side. That way the driver can see where the trailer is going. When the trailer is turning the other way the driver is blind to where the trailer is going and you could hit something. Just my two cents worth.

I am staying in an rv for the summer on my families property for the first time. Never had an rv before so zero experience. I am emptying the black tank into a 36 gallon tote tank. I can’t really leave it running to flush it out. I emptied it three times today and the water was still not clear. Have to disconnect and go over to the septic between flushes. Unsure how to really get it clean. Previously when I emptied it not everything came out so it is getting clogged also. I am using drop in rv black tank treatment tabs. After flushing today I had some water on the floor in the rv right in the area where the black tank flush is on the outside. Unsure if something broke or not. It’s pretty overwhelming honestly, idk what I’m doing but your video helped me understand it a little better.
