Great to hear! Happy you are getting great results.

Thank YOU &VERY MUCH

Had a problem until we found you !! THANKS!@@

Why do you keep saying boraxo? Boraxo was a Mexican wrestler

Been doing this for 3 years now.. works perfectly ! thank you! althought I use gloves through the whole process..!

Thanks for watching Charles!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Very kind of you. Thanks for watching!

@@trbowlin I totally agree!

Thanks Jose!

@@trbowlin Mr bowlin, I'm going to try your method, I'm only been full-time rving for 5 years. And I must say that I have had problems with the smells, so for one thing I'm going to start adding like you say two or three gallons of water to each one of my tanks along with the borax and I will start using a little bit of dawn soap because of the buildup of stuff in the tanks like grease and oils and things like that, for two years I haven't used any fat oil or Grease cholesterol salt sugar that sort of stuff, all my soups and everything I cook or fat oil and grease salt sugar free nothing extra added to my foods just spices, I'm down 36 lb in 5 months last year I lost 30 lb this year I've lost 36. So I'm staying away from the oils and the greases I don't fry nothing no more so I'm sure that my system is this needs a good cleaning and I will keep up with the borax and every two or three months I'll put a half a cup of Don's opener just a freshen it up and as an occasional maintenance thing to see a little bit once in awhile maybe three times a year but we'll do the Barack so after each flesh adding two or three gallons probably more like 3 gallons I could do that easily enough and that'll be good and maybe I should dump it every 2 weeks rather than go three or four weeks, and I have always I must say I have always flush my tanks three to five times if the facility will let me do it, and the facility that I've been going to for a while locally here in the town where I've been most at for The last 5 years, I have plenty of water and plenty of pressure so I can fill up my toilet in no time probably 3 to 5 minutes and it's completely full then I stick my toilet cleaning brush in the top of the toilet and leave the little flap door open some to let the air flow when I pull the valve outside has that good draw going on cuz the air coming in through the top so it drops down quicker does that make sense?. I'm going to buy borax and a couple of days and start my system rolling better, and yes I should add water to my toilet more and probably flush it more often that's probably the issue like you said with the oxygen, because if I'm saving my water as much as possible using as little as possible only enough to flush the toilet and that's not even a full bowl, that might be some of the problem I'm getting a lot of smell because it's just not a lot not enough oxygen and water in the in the hole. Okay sorry for the long message we'll give her a try and I'm sure it's going to work fine. And now that we're dealing with a hundred degree and 108° and 110 out here in the desert, oh, I want to say this even though it's been really hot and overly hot the normal out here in the desert cuz of this bad heat Wave we're having, my tanks really haven't had a really bad smell thing going on, just a small bit, just enough to notice something was going on. And I think that's a little strange, now maybe it's because I'm using a little more water, I'm not sure, but you got to remember, I'm doing nothing but plant-based nutrition, so when I take a dump in my toilet, there's no oil fat or grease going down into the toilet holding tank through the waste product, and nothing is getting greasy or oily or any other way in my cooking or in my cleaning of my dishes, so I think that's seriously helping, at least part of last year and and most of this year now since I've been really heavy on staying on top of the plant-based nutrition and not doing any cheating and eating things that I shouldn't eat to clog up my arteries. Okay I probably talk too much now have a good afternoon and we'll give you an update but a shorter one and let you know what I'm been doing and how's it working okay talk to you later my friend you have a good afternoon

@@trbowlin Mr bowlin, if this borax works like I think it's going to along with the little bit of extra water, I'm going to be a happy camper. And I'm glad to try something new to add to what I think I've been doing okay by flushing my tank 3 to 5 times when I do flush it and I always fill it up all the way to the top even with it really dirty tank loaded manure, cuz I want that first flush to be a really heavy pull and draw saw crack the lid with the with the toilet brush handle go outside and pull that valve and at that point the tank is fully full all the way to the top and then after that I'm feeling it all the way up to the top again three to five times after that flushing out watching like you say the color of the exiting water coming out the end of the hose keeping an eye on that, yeah this is going to be fun and I'll share this with my other rving friends that are nearby that live in their RVs, okay thank you sir, one other thing if you could do a video on how to make sure your tank is mounted properly so it doesn't sag and fall down, there seems to be a little bit of a problem with my gray tank coming down on one end some like the hangers not holding it properly for some reason, I'm going to look at that again and maybe have a guy look at that to see if it can be properly installed right, because my pipe from the gray tank to the valve cracked on me and when I was using some flex seal on that I thought I'm going to look at the tank itself to see what I might be able to find so I when I was underneath spraying my pipe for that little crack with flex seal I scooted over underneath the gray tank and gave it a looking at and I could see it plainly was falling down in the one corner where the pipe hooks to the tank so I thought well that's the reason why my pipe crack cuz the tank came down for some reason somehow it wasn't mounted right or something anyway I need to get that fixed or fix it myself. Have a good afternoon sorry for the extra talk

@@trbowlin sorry this phone is misspelling some

You just stole my comment.

How kind. Thanks!

I normally don’t go for long winded videos but wow this video was absolutely packed with great information!

I’d agree if I knew what Boraxo was....I’ve heard of Boron and borax but not boraxo

What is a flush cycle? I don’t have built in flushing on my travel trailer

@@aWomanFreed I'm pretty sure you knew what he was saying. I'm guessing you'd rather just be a pain?

thanks

Wow, thank you!

Thanks. I was a radio DJ for 20 years so the voice is second nature now.

Great info !! Did you host a jazz station by chance?

@@mishaanton5436 No jazz but I did work in Radio for over 20 years!

I am very happy to hear this. Thanks so much for letting me and other viewers know just how easy and how well it works. Tanks alot. Happy camping!

That is awesome! Thanks very much for your great feedback. It is sure to help other viewers.

Thanks Nina. My degrees are in Ecology and Biology so I had a micro class many years ago. Some of it stuck with me. I also got a minor in chemistry so that helped too. Your comments are greatly appreciated!

Thanks for watching. If you want a clearer explanation of how to fix that check out this newer video I did last year. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iM1zfsKou524fH0.html It has been updated and is, IMO, a much better vid. Peace

Same! I've moved in for a month now and already I have to be dealing with the sewage problems.

Thanks so much! Yep, I like science and fact based decision making.

Wands work awesome! But don’t open the toilet while the wand is on. And get one with a water on and off valve, or add one to it.

Glad it was helpful!

You are so welcome! Hopefully you will find other videos of value on my channel. Thanks!

I did too in my older coach. It will take a little time but it does work well. You might try parking it with the tanks full of water and the Borax and Dawn (or orange cleaner, simple green works too) for a while. if it gets to smelling add some borax. You got to let it soak a while to soften the adobe but eventually it will get those tanks clean as a whistle. Thanks for watching Monte!

I had a composting toilet in my travel trailer before I traded it in on my new Class C. The only thing keeping me from going that route again is the price. Fixed income blues. But I'm here to tell you, composting toilet is fantastic. If you go that way I would suggest "Natures Head" and if your space permits, they have an arm that attaches to the agitator that just makes its operation a breeze. One of the side benefits of it is you add a discharge valve onto where your dump end cap goes and keep that valve closed. Then you keep your black and gray tank valves opened. So since you no longer have black water, you double your gray water capacity. If I can help you with real world experience, I'd be happy to. Mike

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks, Minnie! Follow this recipe and you'll never have stinky tanks!

Thank you. Glad you found the information useful. Yea, once you get it figured out it pretty much becomes a non-issue.

How motivating do you live full-time in a rv I plan to 1st of year

@@kswag5759 I live full time and have for two years now (this month marked 2 years). It has been a wonderful experience. Read up as much as possible because if I knew then what I know now… 🤣👌🏾 but seriously, it’s a great life style and still affordable. Check your state laws before you buy as far as parking. Every state and county vary

@@devonsiadavis2111 thanks for reply...lol ummm so if you knew what u know now would u still had did rv life

@@kswag5759 yep! I still live in the same rv, two years later! Still the best decision I ever made

Great to hear. One more thing to worry less about in the RV now. Thanks for watching!

Same here. I like simple over complicated. Long time user of Borax in the laundry and of Dawn for various uses around the home!

Me, as well.... there’s a lot to learn , I just got a 1991 class C ... one thing at a time .

I agree on the water usage. I have refining this method to reduce the amount of water I use and on my list of upgrades is a composting toilet. Has the composting toilet been working good for you?

You're welcome!

Wonderful!

I’ve been doing this for 2 weeks. I’m really happy with the results. It’s my go to now!

Dito.

A OK

TR Bowlin we still use boraxo soap at work. They definitely still make it. I bet it would also work.

I am getting a brand new travel trailer. Any tips for prepping or starting out with clean new tanks.

I am looking for a vidio on replacement of a window in a 1995 Catalina Coachman. ClassC. It is the window above thu upper sleeping area over the cab. It does not have screws it does not open and it is leaking a little but water is never good in the walls.

Great to hear! Thanks for watching.

No worries mate! I have a very good friend in Brisbane and was planning a trip down under until this covid thing! Thanks for watching!

We are new to the RV thing and full time living in it now this video was good but lots of info that this moliqu this and that. I'm still trying to figure out what do I use i believe you said bleach and ammonia right. Like I said I got lost in this 28 min 🎥 that I forgot why I started watching it for sorry sir. Can you just do a simple 🎥 with out all that other stuff so I can pick up what you are talking about. And this is 1 1/2 hours of watching this 🎥. That means 3 times in a row. Im kinda slow learner but Im great once I figure it out. Thanks again

Hi, just go to my website and download this document. It is a short cheat sheet of the process. www.trbowlin.com/bio-geo-method/ I have plans to do a shorter video, but that will be this fall. I am pretty busy right now with another project. Thanks for watching!

@@trbowlin thank you for the response I will print this out thanks again sir

Recommend that using rubber gloves when handling the dump hoses will set a good example for good hygiene.

I'm thinking that Borax (no O) is the commercial name for boraxo

@@munihmuni8814 Actually the exact opposite. Boraxo is a brand name for powdered cleaner which is borax and powdered soap.

You are welcome. Yes it is easy!

Best of luck! You'll have no trouble if you use this method.

Thank you, Clarence!

It's my suave and debonair manner...LMAO Thanks for watching Freddy!😉

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

That's great to hear. Happy it is working for you! Thanks

Interesting solution. I know some mobility challenged RV'ers that could use a system like that!

@@trbowlin I started thinking about it, because I noticed that the sensors used in my tanks are the same type of pressure transducer that I had designed into secondary containment systems used in my industry. These pressure transducers are mounted on the side wall near the bottom of each tank, which is the absolute worst place to mount them! They only need to experience a pressure differential as the liquid level increases... so I removed them from the bottom bung and created an opening on the top of each tank for a 5" PVC drop pipe that hangs about 2" off the bottom (to prevent bridging by solids/paper in black tank). The pipe is sealed at the top end, and the pressure transducer is installed such that it experiences any pressure change inside the pipe. When the liquid level rises above the open end of the drop pipe, a correlating pressure change occurs inside the pipe which the transducer registers as a change in current (4-20mA). By installing the sensor in this fashion, the liquid never comes in contact with the sensor... It is only sensing a change in air pressure. The monitoring system built into my coach allows for recalibration. The only negative is that the sensor does not register the first 2½" - 3" of liquid... or ⅛ tank according to my calibration. For the gray tank, I set the drop pipe just ½" of the bottom of the tank as there is little concern for bridging and plugging of the entire pipe. Frankly, the RV mfgs should use a similar configuration. Especially, the high end coaches that already use a pressure transducer for the sensor. I'm guessing they want to avoid the added expense of having to modify an off-the-shelf tank. It's worth it to me, and the 5 RV owners for whom I've performed this modification.
