That's good you have a black tank flush for cleaning. Our indicator is not always accurate either, so thanks for that tip about the dishwasher detergent. I guess any debris on the indicator can give a bad reading. Thanks for the info...well explained as usual. Debbie - BluWave Odyssey

Funny video buddy in the UK most vans use a cassette mainly due to smaller roads we have smaller vans mines 22ft and in some parts of Scotland that's a struggle. Our roads were built for horse and carts lol

Hi there great video. I’m a new owner and my girls used the restroom on the 3 state drive back to our home and we haven’t flushed the Black tank flush. It’s been about 2 months now and I’m afraid it molded up in there or something. Can I pour bleach down the toilet and fill it with water to sanitize the tank and let it sit for a while before I use the black tank flush system? It’s a 2020 keystone passport 239ml if that helps. Thank you.

@HowToRV 4 жыл бұрын

Victoria M Do not use bleach. That will make things a ton worse and create dangerous gases. You need to use waste tank treatment. Fill your black tank by using the toilet, to the half way mark. Put in Aqua-Kem per it’s recommendation. Let it sit for a day or so and then drive to a dump station, empty the black tank and then use the black tank flush to finish rinsing out. This will clean the tank and the chemical will dissolve any yucky waste that may still be in the tank. To find the chemical, go to my website, click on shopping, then click on general rv accessories and you should see the chemical at the top of the page. Hope this helps.

Imagine Your Odyssey thanks will do. I appreciate so much the tips. I was going to use bleach tomorrow. Lol i won’t be doing that. I’m glad you responded in time. Have a great night.

With my new nitro,,it has 2 bathrooms Do I treat them separately, #1 tank... drain 1ST then flush.then #2tank..drain 1ST. Then flush. Do they run together,so you just flush the main black tank, are there 2 black tanks, To be done individually.

@HowToRV 2 жыл бұрын

I only have one tank but I would have tosay that if you have multiple dump valves to do all of them individually.

Very nicely done. Good tip on troubleshooting the indicator.

Thank you. I found that idea from another RVer and it really worked. You have to be careful though so that you dont get suds in your camper while driving down the road

@JonathanLozada 3 жыл бұрын

What do you mean about not opening the 2 valves at the same time at the 1:30 mark? When you're dumping it into a waste station what does it matter if you mix toilet water with dirty sink water? They are both waste. It's not like it's going back into the system if you open both at the same time. That has me confused. Can someone please explain?

@HowToRV 3 жыл бұрын

The main reason is to have some gray water to flush out the stinky slinky after dumping the black tank goo.

We put about 2 gallons of water in ours plus the sell good stuff. We have been stinky free for years now.

Add about 5 gallons of water and a black tank treatment. I use piranha. It eats everything. I also use it in my gray tanks just to make sure things are taken care of especially in the kitchen sink where food sometimes goes down the drain.

How do you fill the tank with water? From the toilet ?

That is correct. I usually do mine by holding down the toilet flush.

Buy a flush wand and connect it to a hose push peddle or what ever and blast it clean nothing cleans it better in my experience no soap or any thing needed all your level indicators will work if you clean it that way once in a while

@HowToRV 2 жыл бұрын

I have often wondered how those systems work and if they are better or not. I just might have to give one a try.
