HOW TO USE YOUR RV TOILET | Quick Tips with Randy Murray

[@k_enn]

Three additional points. (1) Many modern black tanks have a hose connection that you can use to flush the tank with campground water after you dump the tank. It is recommended that you use a separate hose from your freshwater hose so you don't contaminate you freshwater supply. (2) After dumping the black, dump the gray through your sewer line to flush it out, (3) When connecting the sewer hose, test it first with a the release of a little from the gray tank to make sure your hose connections do not leak.

Good video. Handy information. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@chrisbertrand2969]

Interesting about the pipe aspect, something I never considered. I will change my method to follow the preload a few gallons of water first than add the enzyme. Great job as usual Randy, keep up the great work. Chris

Bought a smaller used camper recently and I treated our system the exact same way as you've shown. An idea to consider: I'll pour a few yeast packets into the house toilets to recharge the septic tank with enzymes. I'm considering the same with the camper's system, much less yeast, of course.

Thank you :) going to be living in my trailer full time and this info is helpful.

Great description, which answered a lot of questions for me! Nothing like seeing it done while you describe it!

@@petesrvtv where do you dump your tank when you have left campground and have filled it up with water to get remains?

[@cderungs5198]

I'm very grateful for your tip. Most other videos talk about water softeners, Dawn, vinegar, just to name a few. But do they take into consideration what those things do to the normal process that is supposed to happen in a healthy septic tank? I'm hooked to my own septic system (since only two months) so I must avoid destroying the useful bacteria needed! I hope this will also help with the terrible odors that I'm getting lately from the toilet. Oh my, it's horrible! So much so that I would like to be able to avoid having to use that little spot...

We never number 2 in our RV. We use the campground bathroom for that.

[@sergiohuerta-b6d]

This is like the unwritten rule right?!!

I always poop in my trailer. Hate public toilets. Never had a problem in 30 years.

That open slide valve and closed "safety cap" could set you up for an ugly surprise when you go to hook up the drain hose!

[@randalmurray3624]

Ha! You are correct! Fortunately this one was heading into PDI and has not been put into use yet. Nice catch!

[@chrisbertrand2969]

I saw that too, I'm like, don't open that waste gate cap! LOL.

[@SHalto142]

We consider our unit to be a travel trailer, yet contrary to your "most" tanks, our black tank holds ten gallons. We have a 17' Casita.

[@diverm2371]

So it's a waste putting it in right away as it just sits in the bottom of the drain pipe?

[@hammer48ful]

Never thought about the amount of water in the pipe, just the tank.

[@jameslawless9819]

Is it wrong to thoughly flush out the black tank so its completely cleaned out after dumping or should you leave some waste behind for the bacteria to grow on.

[@geebroni4118]

Never gonna get tank completely cleaned out.

[@KevinCoop1]

How do you prevent struvite? Just my opinion. A holding tank is not a septic tank. They are not performing the same function. An rv holding tank only needs to hold it until dumped. No need for digesters, and TP dissolves from water. Holding tank has 3” drain. If it went down the toilet, it will drain. A septic system is for making it safe to dissipate the water into the ground. So, it must be dissolved. No need for enzymes there either. Your body makes them and go into the septic tank and work. I do not use any of those digester products, and I have no issues with smells, and my sensors work because no struvite. I use 3/4 cup Borax dissolved in hot water, and a clothes washer pod in my black tank.

We never put toilet paper into the tank. It goes into a small garbage can and empty it accordingly. We're on a septic system at home and do the same thing there. Years ago we had our tank pumped and the company doing the pump told us the best thing to do was to not put the toilet paper into the system. We figured the same logic would be good for our trailer. Don't want TP clogs!

[@kencasebolt996]

I had a previous bad experience with an older used RV and now do the same thing. No TP Pyramids!!

[@tanana2070]

[@RichGiordano-q8h]

Where do you put the soiled toilet paper when you empty the can? In the campground trash cans? Nasty.

[@thelifeoffastony1157]

Toilet paper for home is different than the ones used in RV.. 😂 RV toilet paper dissolves quicker.

[@RoadieWingZZ]

@@thelifeoffastony1157Not always. There’s a YT vodeo of a test of several different TP’s and the ones specifically sold for RV usage actually performed the poorest and were much more expensive.
