#blacktankcleaning #rvblackwatertank #rvholdingtanks Clean RV Blank Tank. We all probably will agree, this can be a chore and not the most pleasant experience. Unfortunately, if you own an RV, it's just one of those necessary things that must be done from time to time. This isn't about dumping your black tank, but the steps needed to clean that icky gunk that builds up in the black tank overtime. One clear indicator that you need to do a thorough black tank cleaning is incorrect tank sensor readings. If you dump your black tank and still show a full or partially full tank, then a good scrubbing is needed. The best method we've found is to use a cleaning wand specifically designed for RV blank tanks.

My oldest granddaughter bought a used travel trailer and parked it on our land when she was going to college. We hooked her into our septic system, water, and electricity. Two years later she moved for her new job and I helped her clean out and up the camper. The tank sensors were not working properly so I bought that swizzle stick sprayer and cleaned the black tank for over two hours. Couldn’t believe what came out of that tank but the product worked. Great video.

That thing really gives the black tank a good scrub. You’re right. You might think the tank is empty, even with built in tank scrubbers. But that Swivel Stick blasts all the crud out that builds up over time.

Been using happy camper & Scott’s since we purchased our camper 2 years ago. This year I started to notice more chunks (for lack of better term) coming from my black tank. Was talking to my wife about it and found she switched toilet paper on me. We are switching back to Scott’s but I was hoping a wand would help with a deep clean and this was the exact type of confirmation I was looking for. Excellent video.

That's to funny Michael, you've now gone to the point of no return. Welcome to RV Life! It's a simple project with good results. It's on my "once a year" maintenance list. Keeps those sensors working and helps minimize the goo build-up that can occur. You'll also be surprised how well the Happy Campers works. Been using for over 3 years now. Cold or hot weather, the stuff breaks everything down and amazed how well it works to minimize odor without that yucky overly perfumed smell with the other stuff. Safe travels. Jerry....

Great video Jerry. Short and to the point but yet entertaining. Im a full time RVer and I use the spinner hose about every 6 months. I also use dollar store TP. I find that a two-ply product from the dollar store does as well as the more expensive RV type. Good tip on the powder. I may get a bucket of that stuff. For now I have a big bottle of cleaning product (Fabuloso) with a spray nozzle. After I flush I give the bowl a couple of sprays and everything smells good and stays sanitary and clean.

Beleive it or not the most exciting purchase was was the tank scrubber! It was cheap, too! I'm new to RV-ing and this comunity is so friendly and helpful people from the northeast, like me, are not used to this! We need lessons. There is a whole lot of great help and information here on KZbin. Thank you, mucho. Looking forward to more of your videos.

@@iLoveRVlife Although I have a lot of experiences as I have noted, I am now a 62 year old, 50% disabled veteran with leg and ankle damage. I can't walk straight around the house. I think I can drive four to six hours a day before the ankle makes me stop. I had a four way bypass last year. I am generally strong, but take things slow these days. I feel the trade off to the extra difficulties, like getting down to connect hoses when needed and other things that may come up, is worth the benefits, that I do not need to list here. I can get down to do these things, just with a LOT of pain. Especially since my sternum is just wired together. So, I CAN get by. One of the reasons I want to do this is because both, I got the settlement of a suit and have the money, and the way my disability has been increasing, about 10% every year to a year and a half, I think I may not be able to do it very well in a couple more years.

Hi Jerry! Suzan and I (Rick) really enjoy your videos and suggestions. So far we are planning a trip to Cloud Canyon and purchased several Amazon products based on your videos. I have been camping for many years with a travel trailer. This past October we upgraded to a 2017 Cedar Creek 38FLX. We are anxious to use it this Season. Too bad you can't get endorsed by the products you demo. For example, I just now purchased 12 rolls of the Scott TP and the Happy Camper product. Jerry, a couple of things I wanted to share with you and your viewers: 1) I did purchase a Barker model 30844 Blue boy/pooper truck (42 gallons). I find it constructed better than the Thetford models 💪🏼. It has heavy duty tires that are actually inflatable. Unfortunately, Amazon does not display an updated picture. It displays the cheap plastic wheels instead. 2) Please wear some latex gloves when handling those sewer parts! 😂 Thanks again Jerry, we look forward to all your videos! Rick

Thanks Rick for the comments. I appreciate the purchase if you used my Amazon link. It's pennies, but they add up. I recently read a review in the Barker units. They look nice. I'm currently looking to mod my Thetford with better wheels. And the gloves. Catching a lot of flack on this one. I was using, but TOOK then off to stage and run the camera. My bad, I should have set a better example.

Great video. The Happy Campers treatment is the real deal. After a year of dumping the orange glug, and the little packets, and still smelling horrible, we found the Happy Campers treatment. Great Stuff. As far as the toilet paper, we were using the lame RV stuff from the RV store, then the RV stuff at MegaloMart, then went back to our favorite home brand with no trouble. However, this doesn't mean YOU will have the same experience. We have the built-n tank flush, plus one of those Rhino back-flush fittings, and I occasionally have to do some work to get everything flushed out properly. But the Happy Camper stuff takes care of most of it. As far as adding the Happy Camper stuff, I fill the bowl about half full, start adding the powder, while letting it flow down the drain. This helps mix the powder with the water. HC says to use at least a gallon of water when adding to the tank.

Making ready for upcoming trip in our new camper and this was super helpful....thank you sir. Bought the Camco swivel stick as a result. FYI...Happy Camper is not readily available in stock anywhere that I can find (even on Amazon). Not a huge deal if you plan ahead for 10 day delivery, but something to consider when recommending.

Hi JB. Thanks a bunch. I’ve been monitoring the Happy Camper supplier. Looks like the ran out of stock. There is an alternative if you want to use an unscented liquid. We evaluated RV Digest-It with good results. Here’s a link to the video if interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnmzhKBvrZ2MkKM

Agree no Clorox or other bleach. Rots seals and is a health hazard and stinks as bad. We use Borax powder and the liquid form of dawn soap and fill tank to about 1/3 full before driving. Thanks for the video. Good information.

We avoid black tank issue by never going #2 in the toilet and never putting any paper products in the tank. We use happy campers chemical and tank valve lubricant from time to time. We haven’t had any issues with odors or sensor issues. Of course we don’t boondock and if we decided to I would probably go with a composting option. This works for us being retired and with no children. As for grey tanks we use happy camper in them as well. We wipe our dishes, pots and pans down with paper towels to remove food residue and grease before washing them in the sink. I’m sure this seems extreme for most people but for the two of us it’s worth the time and effort to avoid black and grey tank issues.

I'm new in this RV and trailer community. I have a brand new trailer and I love it!!!! Right now I don't have to clean my black water tank, but I will keep your video in my favorites until I need it. Why not doing this everytime when winterizing the RV or trailer?????Thank you Mister and I wish you many happy RV years. Cheers from Montreal, Canada.

Thanks and great to hear from our Canadian viewers. So glad you found the channel helpful. Winterizing is a great time. We scrub ours once a year. We found it prevents crud from building up near the drain valves and causing that nasty leaking while traveling.
