How To Use an RV Dump Station | Moving Day with Five2Go | Ep. 54

One of the most intimidating things for the newbie RV owner is dealing with the black tank and, more specifically, dumping its contents. When you have a full hook-up site it's not super stressful because you can take all the time in the world to take care of the sewer connection. However, when using a dump station you could possibly have a line of people behind you so you may feel rushed. In this video we walk you through how to use a dump station so you can hopefully feel more confident in the process and survive the experience!

[@jtedder2489]

Your advice to check the valves before opening the tube in case pranksters have come by is great advice for even experienced RVers.

[@Five2Go]

Every single time I'm taking the cap off to hook up the sewer hose I'll push in on the handles just to make sure. Every time.

[@billpenn9516]

FINALLY!! An excellent start to finish dump station video. Thank you.

[@brendaestes5391]

You got the cutest kids! Thank you for showing us newbies how to do these things.

[@audnbob1]

You have such a great manner of speaking that it makes it very comfortable to listen and follow your advice, you guy' are awesome!

[@Five2Go]

Thank you!!! ☺️

[@grannyphoenix6520]

Very pleasant, not teachey at all. Just polite, matter-fact conversation with some friends. (Recorded of course.)

[@fulcrum8108]

I’m buying my first travel trailer soon and this was the only part I was worried about. Now it doesn’t seem so scary, although i’ll probably wear a full respirator lol thank you for the informative video!

[@nickpeavy6554]

I juat bought a used one (Be careful if you do) Flushing for the first time tomorrow, i think there's a problem.. 🤢😷

[@bluecat1233]

Great video! Ty so much for all the info. As a nurse just want to very highly recommend using soap & water to wash your hands after this activity instead of hand sanitizer because there of GI bacteria like Cdiff that hand sanitizer does not kill. The last thing you’d want is a Cdiff infection on the road.

[@rb5472]

Man I honestly think you've got the best KZbin channel when it comes to showing newbies how to do this stuff really great job guys keep it up

[@Five2Go]

Thank you so much!

[@drowne2]

RV dumping is a lot easier than a thought. Your videos give me confidence and teach me those little tips that make this all so much easier. Thanks!

[@mariohammons8498]

My wife and I are getting ready to purchase our first camper and your videos have been ever so helpful in many many ways. Thank You. Love your videos and such a wonderful family. 🙏🏾

[@chenwu9788]

Suggest you use hand sanitizer first, then close lock the storage door

[@brentdreamer2025]

We don't have our coach yet but I have watched upwards of 2 or 300 videos on RV living and how to do things properly over the past couple years. I must say yours is the best detailed video on dumping the tanks. You said what to do AND explained why you did it that way. Thanks for the video and keep on keepin on.

[@Five2Go]

Thanks Brent!

[@2Stumps]

HERE HERE, I SECOND THIS STATEMENT! (caps on purpose to show enthusiasm) Cheers Mates!

[@michaelcunningham1364]

Always nice to get another opinion of how the dumping process is handled. Ohio has nice services it seems. Thanks for sharing.

[@Five2Go]

That was a fantastic place to stop with an RV! I wish there were more service areas like that on all the major interstates.

[@kencarnley7101]

Just purchased a used small Camper. Have watched many videos. Yours was the first one showing how to use a dump station. Have wondered what the hose at the station was for. Seems simple but you do not know what you do not know.

[@kimberlydelagarza8899]

Love that y’all are so detailed for those of us looking to start this journey! Thank you!

[@carolep1078]

Nice trip.... Thanks for showing me how to empty the poop tank. That's my biggest FEAR..

[@NoOrdinaryPath]

That looks like a sweet place to stop. Love to find those gems on a long day of travel.

[@LetsTravelFamily]

Our friends labeled it the 'paradise tax', and it stuck for us. Whenever you meet someone who lives or travels in an RV, just remember, everyone has to dump the black tank! ;)

[@GetawayWheels]

I always tell my kids, do the right thing even if you’re the only one doing it. We do the same, if we stop anywhere, we have to be level. We’re going to be using a dump station for the first time, very soon. We’re camping at a State Park, here in Florida. Safe travels family!!

[@tonynuevas8467]

Great help for a newbie RV user like me , thanks for posting ;-))

[@johnlindsay8657]

Thank you for these videos. VERY helpful. Just bought my first travel trailer and I feel more confident! Happy travels to you and your nice family!

[@johnneedy3164]

Well came here just to say hello 👋 been RVing since 1974 ,once took grandboys to dump station to dump the portable tank ,had little one put foot on lid could feel the dodo go down that was hilarious, need i say more🤗🤭

[@rhonda5167]

We're about to take our TT out for the first time and I've been curious about this. Thanks for the video!

[@jamesdoyle7317]

Always wondered how this was all done. You answered that for me. Thanks

[@larkhughes9740]

FYI: on long trips in the van and littles are in their car seats, sometimes put something on floor to elevate their dangling legs and feet. It will be more comfortable for them and their lower limbs won't go numb. Children can't always verbalize what's uncomfortable for them. Just a thought, carry on.

[@tonyvandyke7588]

Super helpful! We’re going on our first camper trip and I’m petrified about how to dump.

[@khadijahdavis1572]

As a newbie i appreciate this video a great deal, it is very helpful, thanks guys 😊

[@BradiKal61]

I had not been camping in a trailer for a decade when as a young adult i got a job taking care of motor homes on a low budget movie. i was amazed how much trailer maintenance info i had absorbed from watching my dad flush the tank all those years ago and it all came back to me as dumped the holding tank on a small motorhome that had been used for two days by a 40 person crew. it was full up into the bowl and i had to drive slow just to keep the bowl from overflowing. i quickly found the hose stored in the square frame bumper but when I pulled the release valve nothing came out because of all the TP and paper towels that had been thrown into the toilet. i had to climb on the bumper of the moho grab the edges of the shell and rock left and right until the clog suddenly let go. All your logic for doing things in the order described make sense, but i do think I would rinse out your dump hose BEFORE you collapse it so nothing gets trapped in the folds of a compressed hose.

[@morpheuszzz662]

Thank you so much for these detailed instructional videos. VERY helpful to this newbie.

[@Five2Go]

Happy to help! Just remember to take your time and double check what you're doing, especially when dealing with the black tank 👍👍

[@bradwing2567]

Looking to getting our first travel trailer next year so I've been watching so many different videos on things to know going into the RV/travel trailer life. Your videos are, by far, the most informative for newcomers and I thank you for that!

[@JavierPadron]

Much love too yall 💗 Can't wait to get out on road in our new trailer, thanks for these vids.

[@brianandzenia]

You guys do such a fantastic job putting your videos together! Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in every one of your videos! Love watching vicariously through you guys on your adventure across the country! Keep it up!

[@Five2Go]

Thank you, that means a lot! We put a lot of work into our vlog and it's awesome to hear from everyone that's enjoying it 👍😍👍

[@WaywardWaggs]

Very helpful. We are newbies and have not dumped for our first time yet. Should be interesting.

[@Five2Go]

It's not hard! Wear gloves, take your time, check your connections. You'll do great! If you're at a dump station and someone is waiting behind you, don't rush. They'd much rather wait than have to deal with your mess in a couple minutes 😂

[@WaywardWaggs]

Thanks for the advice. Really appreciate it.

[@chereesimpson8040]

Super helpful videos! Thank you 😊

[@davidaboykin7048]

Very informative. Thank you.

[@abbyrankin1639]

I just got my little 18 foot camper and have to wait for the world to re-open; in the meantime I'm trying to learn by video. I love your videos! They are very helpful. Watching you explain in simple terms makes me feel like I'm going to be able to handle all the steps to take good care of my rig.

[@Five2Go]

You can ABSOLUTELY do it Abby! The first couple times you're going to feel overwhelmed - just take your time, triple-check everything (especially when the black tank is involved), and you'll do great! And don't be afraid to ask other campers if you need help with something - RVers are super helpful! Let us know how it goes!

[@MachitoLFC]

[@THETOPGLOCK]

Dumping your Poopoo is so easy, but for the life of me I can’t understand why it takes some so long. Just this past weekend I was sitting in line at the dump station in awww. The goofing around just amazes me when there’s a line up of 50+. Btw I just came across your channel. Love it!

[@Five2Go]

Thanks for following along! As for slow dumpers - it is what it is. Some people are screwing around, some aren't paying attention, and others are new and unsure of what they're doing. As long as people are being safe and clean, I don't mind sitting in the AC 🤣

[@joecollinsphoto]

This was a great video for a newbie like me to watch. Thanks for that!

[@bhebbs]

Great video! I've had my RV for a few years and it's nice to see someone with plenty of experience doing how to's. A couple questions: 1. How frequently do you recommend using the black tank flush? 2. For temporary setups do you need to use the stabilizer Jacks to put slides out or is being level sufficient? Thanks and keep up the great videos!

[@motorcitycandleworks]

Sh%$er is full

[@mikem978]

I don’t know if this was addressed in past comments, but I would add fresh water to the black tank (like 2.5 to 5 gallons) for future use so solids and toilet paper don’t fall on a dry tank and possibly start stacking. Just pour the fresh water from a bucket directly into the toilet.

Hi Brian! Great job on showing how to clean the tanks. And glad you says where stinky slinky came from. I kind of new. I wanted to ask you if it’s any different cleaning your tanks now in your motorhome compared to your towable? And did your towable have a washer dryer in it? Like a combo? It looked pretty nice. I never saw the video on that Rv. Just the cleaning tanks. Brian you did really great on the video. Thank you so much for having video on before and now. I watched it before but I wanted to see it again. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

[@psyhostrack2026]

Thanks for the content you guys have fun in Cleveland?

[@GoldieJoRv]

Thanks I just bought another camper the last one was 1968 Williams Craft so I up grade to KZ sportsman 2020 scarf to do the black tank but u help my fears hope to take it out this weekend!

[@Five2Go]

You can do it! The sewer stuff is definitely intimidating until you do it a couple times. Just take your time, double-check what you've done before moving on to the next step, and you'll do great! 👍👍

[@GoldieJoRv]

Five2Go yes it’s a new experience we had a porta potty and wow get sick once and that won’t work I put a climate right air conditioner and nope in Texas heat won’t work this camper had a window until built in and that worries me some to Texas is just hot May has been bad already but i plan to just try your viedo are great plan to do some maybe as I go thanks again.

[@tigas5363]

I wanna be just like you....COOL DAD!

[@gregorypritchett9650]

First of kudos for making such a massive life changing leap. Been watching a lot of your videos as I just purchased a 27' rv. To say the least its very intimidating. I have purchased a number of helpful items such as the water reg, surge protector and water purifierafter being your videos. I know with the world we live in today its tough but have you done any camping in Canada? Safe travel's.

[@Five2Go]

We haven't camped in Canada, though we did visit Vancouver a couple times two summers ago when we were camping up in the corner of Washington.We know a lot of people that were planning on going to Canada this summer (or passing through to Alaska) who had their plans blown up by the border closure. It's tough out there for RVers right now!

[@gregorypritchett9650]

Five2Go You bet its a very different world we live in right now. BUT once everything gets back to "NORMAL" please come visit, we would love to have you:) Safe travels and see you guys around the campfire!

[@kenrodz3858]

I love your rig, however that is a nice hose you have there. Where did you get it?

[@Five2Go]

Thanks! We have all of the gear that we use and recommend listed here: www.amazon.com/shop/five2go

[@TSquadRVing]

Love your Family, enjoy watching all your videos, we just upgraded to a 2020 Grand Design Reflection 312 BHTS, (Thanks to you lol) We are very excited for spring to get camping, Question, we noticed on ours it has another pipe in the rear coming from the outdoor sink (Outdoor Kitchen) that has no holding tank, do you ever connect a hose to that when camping and connect with a "Y"? Just curious if you have the same pipe and if so what do you do, Thank you in advance! Looking forward to your new videos with the new RV btw I was your 500 liked. hehe

[@Five2Go]

Thank you so much! You're going to love that rig! As for the pipe in the back, it's just for the outdoor sink. We never used that sink so I never bothered with a Y-splitter. If you're going to use that sink it's up to you how to run that water. Since it's just water and probably soap and maybe small food particles, it would probably be fine (in most campgrounds) to just let it drain on the ground back there. Just remember that the pipe has a cap and that sink will back up very quickly and flood into the bedroom and living room if the faucet is bumped while moving and you hook up the water!

[@TSquadRVing]

Thank you so much for your quick reply. Never thought about the cap and that it would leaked into the bedroom. I think I saw that you removed them in one of your vids if I’m not mistaken. Great point. Thank you so much! See ya in the next Video.

[@AllElectricFamily]

When we travel now with out or rig it's annoying. I just want to have everything with me! 🤣

[@Five2Go]

Haha, right! If we ever do road trips in the future without the rig it's going to be so annoying 😋

[@losttrucker8038]

just curious....can you do a video of your washer/dryer setup? I am seriously looking at the same RV, but I am still trying to decide if I want a washer/dryer setup

[@Five2Go]

We're going to do a laundry video soon. If you're going to go full time, you'll want one for sure. Lots of people online say the combo units are too small and don't work but they're plenty big and work great.

[@donnierakes9117]

What size is the box you keep your sewer hose and accessories in? Thank you for the video!

[@Five2Go]

I keep one hose in a tube mounted under the rig that's built to hold them and the other two are in the back of the truck. The connectors and accessories are kept in a Sterilite bin with a snap-on lid that's around 30 or 40 quarts I think.

[@franciscohernandez1403]

Awesome Tips. One Question? How much mileage do u get by traveling that far? You mentioned 5 hours. I drive a Ram Hemi 1500 and I will be traveling with my 33 footer bumper pull. Please advise. Thanks,

[@JoseNunes-of1om]

They sell an attachment so you can attach the water hose to the dump hose.

[@AbdullahWaqar454]

I hope you reply but like are there designated points where u can park your RV and if yes does every spot have their own dump station.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

That’s a cool travel center.. was there a charge for hooking up for the short stay?

[@Five2Go]

No charge! You can stay overnight for free too, you just have to register in the guest services building. We were technically too long to be there (which is why we parked at an angle) but it was pretty quiet and we knew we weren't going to be there for too long.

[@ridgey1236]

We are getting a 38 foot trailer thought on the length

[@joshuaericilac]

It actually only has about 60 spots for us trucks to park without blocking other trucks and also its kinda tight for us

[@RomeMunoz]

What brand and type of gloves were you using? I couldn’t seem to find any information about them in your description. Please advise, thank you!

[@Five2Go]

The gloves in this video were rubber dipped work gloves. I've since switched to full neoprene gloves like this: amzn.to/3tCQIxh

[@RomeMunoz]

Oh k, thank you! I’ll check them out, appreciate your response.

[@amypletcher4411]

Love this video!! We are from Ohio!!!!!!!!! What exit were you at? So you don't carry a sewer hose around with you?! I just purchased a Pocket Hose Brass Bullet flexible hose for sewer only since they don't do well in the heat nor have a grade for drinking from like Zero G have. However, the reviews for the Pocket Hose Brass Bullet are crap. So not sure if I should even own it, might return before opening. Or find a coiled hose the this sewer hose issue. Since these are not used a lot and they are light weight.

[@Five2Go]

Are you taking about the big black one? You definitely have to carry one of those, a sewer hose, with you. If you're talking about a water hose for flushing your sewer hose out, you should carry one of those with you too. I think in this video I just used the dump station's hose because it's convenient. If there isn't one, I use mine. As for what stop that was, I have no idea - this was about 16 or 17 months ago. 😁

[@amypletcher4411]

@@Five2Go no not the big black sewer hose, we have one of those with the clear elbow and an extension. I was asking about the water hose for sewer. I saw where you used the coiled attached hose at the dump station and explained your water power on your g.d. along with showing extra white hoses. When we got ours from the previous owner they gave us their hoses and sewer line along with sway bars and hitch hook up!! They told us their white hose was for drinking and the blue hose was for rinsing the stinky slinky out. I'm just getting ready to buy lighter hoses such as a Zero G for drinking water, shower and dishes. While I got a Pocket hose Brass Bullet for rinsing the stinky slinky out but reviews don't look to hot! So I will have to return it possibly and get a coiled hose or keep the blue hose they gave me. How long is your Zero G hose? I know you trip through Ohio was a long time ago. I will have to go back to your previous vlogs and I might figure it out or research those rest stops and dump stations in Ohio. We have ONLY been to one ark service times near our house so we only went for 3 day weekends but I see a week trip in the future once the country opens back up and national parks and camp grounds open 🙌

[@Five2Go]

Our Zero-g hose is 25'. They come in 50 as well, but I had my white water hoses to supplement the length of needed. I think 90% of the time that 25' was good and every once in a while I just had to add my 10' hose to go a little farther.

[@teligaming1991]

Did I miss the cyclone rinse ?!? Was waiting for that

[@Five2Go]

I don't do the black tank flush at dump stations because I like to let it run for a good 5-10 minutes.

[@teligaming1991]

Five2Go ahhhh... makes sense! Just bought a R-Pod 202 and we’re taking its maiden voyage in a couple days.. we had really bad training experience at the place I purchased but I’ve gained a lot of knowledge through your vid’s... so thanks a bunch!

[@teligaming1991]

Five2Go awesome.. I use discord all the time for gaming so I’ll definitely add it! Thanks!

[@BobReed1]

I don't own an RV (yet), so this might be a dumb question - but when you did the lunch stop then went to the dump station, do those places typically charge you for using their dump station?

[@Five2Go]

It varies. Most dump stations that are in rest stops are free that we've seen. Dump stations at gas stations are generally 5-10 bucks. We've never had to pay though because we just use the campground dump station when we're pulling out if we didn't have sewer.

[@TNproud]

You have a link or video where i can see which washer/dryer you have?

[@Five2Go]

I believe we talk about it in our tour video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2LdoHh6idN3h5I It's a Splendide 2100XC.

[@Princessofimaginiation]

Is that at a gastric station where your doing the dumping?

[@Scott_MS]

I haven’t had to use a dump station yet as i’ve always dumped at the campgrounds we’ve stayed in....do most dump stations have a water spout to hook up my hose for my blank tank flusher ??

[@Five2Go]

Most have hoses but we've seen them with their ends chopped off more often than not. They're really just for rinsing up any accidents/spills. You'll frequently find spigots at dump stations so you can hook up your own hose, but if there are people waiting I don't recommend doing a full flush. It takes a good 10 minutes to get the majority of the gunk out.
