Two Tips to Keeping Your RV Smelling Fresh

[@lakecavanaugh]

The kitty litter is a great idea. Not only will it smell nice (as long as it isn't visited by any cats...) but it is also absorbs moisture from the air which will prevent mold and mildew. Great tip! And much cheaper than the Damp-Rid bags....

[@RVJedeye]

Still works today 😁

[@carloshonestopinions]

Thank you so much for the tip! Our trailer went from smelling horrible to smelling fresh with one treatment of your "cocktail"! We had to make one change to the recipe, replacing the ammonia with glass cleaner, as pure ammonia is no longer sold in Canada. We also learned that the grey tank was to blame for the stench - Never thought this could happen. Thank you again! 😀

[@RVJedeye]

Great! I’m glad it worked😁

[@MrWallyrooster]

This guy is like a mad scientist the way he mixes up this magic concoction!!

[@RVJedeye]

Thanks! Just trying to share some of the cool things I’ve learned along the way😊

[@mrb4318]

i use a splash of fabulosa, works great no effect on toilet buildup

[@RVJedeye]

Nice! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@johnebakeriii]

Howdy, David!! Your suggestions for keeping an RV fresh-smelling are spot on... For NON-full-timers, that is! ;) If the mixture is going to be dumped every week, there's probably no harm/no foul. The problem for me, specifically with your "cocktail," is that the ammonia & pine cleaner would probably kill all the bacteria in the bottom of your tank... Even the "friendly" bacteria that's necessary to break down the ...uh... organic solids which pass through there. There are many, MANY tank treatments available that are much less toxic - for both you and the environment - much more effective in maintaining the balance necessary to keep things flowing and just as fresh-smelling as your mixture. Also: The ammonia/pine combo could adversely affect any sensors in the tanks. FYI. Watch your tail swing, keep th' greasy side down and keep it 'tweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen th' ditches, Y'All!! ;)

[@RVJedeye]

John thanks for the heads up! You are right, mine is based on using it pretty regularly. I will look into long term options as well, especially if I ever get in a place where I have to store it for awhile! Thanks so much for the info.

[@2-old-Forthischet]

I only use my travel trailer several times a year. It and my boat are stored in a storage yard. I bought my TT new in 2013 and have never had an odor issue while in storage. While in use is another story! LOL! My sinks and shower have "P" traps in them so that pretty much takes care of any odor problems inside of the trailer. My black tank has never caused any odors while in storage. I do check on my TT and boat every so often, especially for any water leaks on the TT roof. Before putting my TT is storage, I make sure I flush out the fresh, grey (gray?) and black tanks completely.

[@carpenc1]

I cant believe the cat litter bit! Too funny and I'm gonna try it. Thanks!

[@RVJedeye]

Carla it's worked for me! Thanks for watching😀

[@smcdonald12]

I use Happy Camper. Organic and works like a charm.

[@RVJedeye]

I’ve not heard of that but thanks for sharing👍🏿

[@dianecraig6055]

Those are some great tips - especially the kitty litter...I wouldn't have thought of that one! Thanks David, and have a happy New Year!

[@RVJedeye]

Yep! Who would have thunk it, but it seems to work.

[@madam-x5232]

I'm converting a Shuttle bus into an RV, and I just bought a Thetford Casette toilet. Your tip will save me $ and I'm going to try it TODAY. Thanks for sharing, Jedeye ! Happy travels.

[@RVJedeye]

Roxie that’s cool! Let me know how it works with the cassette 😊

[@madam-x5232]

@@RVJedeye I appreciate your kind words and support ! I've been using your "Jedeye method" in my Thetford ( fluids only), for over a week now and my Casette smells clean / frrressshhh. You're a genius Jed !! Your easy method will save me about $100.00 per year. 👍😀 See you in your next video. Happy and safe travels to you and yours. ✌️

[@RVJedeye]

Glad it’s helping some😊

[@MikeyMK-ct7jr]

Never heard about kitty litter in TT while storing. Will give that a try. Thanks.

It’s worked in the past for me all the time👍🏿

Came here from Duet Justus. Glad I did!!!! Can't wait to get caught up on your vids.

[@RVJedeye]

So glad you checked it out! t really means a lot when folks watch. Have a lot planned for 2017! Have a Happy and Safe Holiday season!

[@glgartman]

The kitty litter tip is good. I use pouches of activated bamboo charcoal which also keeps the air fresher and cleaner in my rv.

[@RVJedeye]

Zelda like the idea of bamboo... I might “homage” that one😊

[@glgartman]

@@RVJedeye The pouches can be reactivated every month or so by putting them in the sun for a couple hours. They're good for a couple years and then can be added to garden or potting soil to enrich it.

[@ts96399]

Hello Zelda, Where do you purchase your activated pouches? Could you provide a link?

[@PepperSkeen]

Just an FYI - kitty litter helps pull moisture so it helps with the 'dank' 'musty' smells. I actually keep a small box in my bathrooms at home for that reason. You know how steamy things can get, it really helps.

[@RVJedeye]

Pepper thanks! Glad you're following.

[@Iliftmyeyestothehills]

Hi! Merry Christmas!! I subscribed to your channel after seeing on Duet Justus' vlog. My husband and I dream of having our own rig and being weekend warrior's one day too! We are aiming to get one within 2 years. Till then we are learning from you guys who are sharing your experiences with all of us. God bless you and thank you for helping us learn and enjoy the journey with you!!

[@RVJedeye]

Linda, thank you so much for subscribing and keep that dream alive! It took me a long time before I pulled the trigger, but I'm glad I did! You and your husband have a happy and safe New Year's!

[@jude.25]

Thanks for posting. Kitty litter works great but charcoal will also work. For really strong odors, coffee works good. I just leave some cheap brand coffee in an open container.

[@RVJedeye]

Jeff the coffee idea is a great one I may have to try that😁

[@VanDwellingLife]

great stuff. I wonder if the kitty litter would work while we are renovating the van. We have awoken some nasty smells.

[@RVJedeye]

It sure couldn't hurt! Let me know if it works :)

[@cathywright6665]

Thanks, David. I might try this next season for the stationary trailer I enjoy spending my summers in.

[@RVJedeye]

Cool! Let me know how it works for you Cathy :)

[@MultiRabe]

Being a bartender, your "Cocktail" recipe was great! Many of the Thetford products just don't seem to work for long periods of time...this seems like a winner 👍👍! The kitty litter idea makes a lot of sense too (btw, love the Mos Eisley tshirt)! 🖖🏻

[@RVJedeye]

Thanks! Let me know if you use either, how they work for you. And May the Force Be With You! :)

[@janetfolkerts5827]

The kitty litter is new to me as a air freshner, but it does make sense to pull moisture and possible mold smells out of a unit. I am not a fan of pine sole..but appreciate the recommendation to store the RV clean.

[@RVJedeye]

Janet Folkerts Fair enough. For me it's worked and I am always open to hearing other suggestions too. Thanks for watching 👌

[@sandyjenney6389]

Thank you for the information. We are researching after just buying our travel trailer. I've written down your recipe in my notes to use.

[@RVJedeye]

Cool! Sandy I’ve used this ever since I got my RV and it continues to work for me😊

[@FrayAdjacentTX]

Thanks for the tips! The camper I'm getting will have a cassette type toilet, but I bet that concoction will work in it, too! The kitty litter idea is great, too! I'll give it a try for storage.

[@rylietucker8746]

Great tips Traveling to all the National parks last year, I️ wish I️ had this for the smell in those really hot weather states. Adding even just a little of this each time would be awesome from campground to campground

[@RVJedeye]

I’ve only used it during storage but I guess it would work. How did you like the National Parks?🤓

[@josephatnip2398]

A bag of charcoal briquettes like you use for barbecuing works just the same as your kitty litter idea the only thing is can still use the charcoal briquettes for barbecuing once you get to where you're camping also keep a couple of briquettes in your refrigerator when it's not been running to keep the smell down in there too

[@RVJedeye]

Love this trick going to have to try it out!👍🏿

[@AcmeRacing]

In the fall I leave the fridge and the freezer open after cleaning them. In spring they're ready to go, without condensation or mold.

[@vampire64]

I don't even own an RV and don't know why I am watching this. Great advice though.

[@RVJedeye]

Glad you watched 😊

[@bethankful7227]

Same, but I want one 😫. I'm going to try this in our boat though.

[@glgartman]

The activated bamboo pouches are good in bathrooms, closets, etc. -- not just for rvs.

[@justinflores7781]

Lol

[@zuriacuna]

😂

[@WonderingAimlessly]

Good tips! One that has worked for me, before leaving a camp ground, and after emptying the black tank, is to use laundry detergent with some water, sometimes ice blocks. Then after the drive to the next camp ground, I flush the black tank once again and it keeps the tank cleaner than just continually using it. The road movement turns it into a washing machine...lol. I'm going to try RV Jedeye's concoction for short term storage next time.

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I have been using the Geo Method for years. 1 cup water softener (calgon) 1 cup cheap laundry soap then add 1 gallon of water. I mix up the powder ingredients in a bucket and one batch lasts about a year. It works great and I have spare laundry soap in a pinch. Mixing ammonia and pinesol is an asthma attack waiting to happen.

[@clairestorm3004]

Jennifer Perry My Scraproom - CTMH How much do you put down the toilet each time?

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

After I mix up the big batch I put about 1 1/2 cups powder to 1 gallon of water.

[@csmoothsk8ter17]

try Fresh Step kitty litter it has a nice scent you might like it.

[@RVJedeye]

Good idea! Thanks :)

Does the ammonia or pine sol damage the seal on the toilet??

[@RVJedeye]

I have not had any issues with it, however don’t know for sure. I’ve been doing it for 5 years and it’s worked 😊

[@thefoodkangaroo623]

Omg you're reminding me of Al Roker mixed with a little bit of the host from the old "unwrapped" show. Great video!

[@RVJedeye]

lol... I’m really going to have to hit the gym now! Thanks for watching 😁

[@Tsiri09]

My cats use Fresh Step with Febreeze. Not only does it take care of "cat" smells, but the whole RV smells fresh, too.

[@RVJedeye]

Tina nice! I like😃

[@sued115]

My friends cat had seizures with the Fresh Step and other type of crystal liter. Come to find out it was the chemicals in there and cats always clean themselves by licking their paws. After she changed, her cat was back to good health again.

[@LAURENAURORA31]

So the materials are, 1. 8oz of baking soda in its own container 2. 8 oz of ammonia in its own container (or glass cleaner as I saw in Carlos' Honest Opinions comment) then add to the baking soda. 3. 8oz of fabric softener in own container, then add to the baking soda and ammonia. 4. 8 oz of a pine sol like product (pine glo) in its own container and then mix with other products. 5. After everything is mixed in well, add water. Use warm water first then cold, stir very well. 6. P O U R it in ! I'll shall try this ! Thank you ! 😁

[@RVJedeye]

Works great for me for the last 5 years 😁

[@heatheryohe8874]

My toilet was stinky when flushing at the end of the week.. even after we emptied it is was still stinky. So might have to try something like that

[@sued115]

Calgon (water softener) and laundry detergent (about 1/4 c of each) in both gray and black tank. Fill tanks half way and drive around for a few miles so it can swish around. Then go to a dump station when it is not busy and really flush it good. Sounds like you have a Mt St Helen that is stuck in there. They say TP can harden like cement. Always use RV toilet paper...nothing else.

[@heatheryohe8874]

@@sued115 . Thanks for the tip 👍👍 . But we got it all cleaned out and now the smell is gone😊😊 . We flushed out the black tank 3 times and it finally cleared the sensor. We do use RV toliet paper. Thank you

[@RVJedeye]

Still use it to this day😊

Sterilization

Ammonia works in the washing machine too. ( Just don't mix with chlorine bleach !! )

[@sleepy314]

Ammonia also cuts through oily/fatty residue

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

sleepy314 It’s not a surfactant. It won’t emulsify oil and grease. Try it: add oil to ammonia and shake. None will dissolve.

@@janebray9392 Most Freezers only go to -5 F or -18c but the weather in Southern Ontario can easily reach -40 so the freezer is not a good indicator, a hydrometer may work but I would not use this in place of anti-freeze. I use RV antifreeze and I have no odor issues in the RV after months of sitting, You could pour some of the mix into the black tank as it does not matter if 32oz of what-ever freezes in the bottom of the tank but in the drains and bowl I would use antifreeze only...

[@mattfrith3882]

So about to try this !

[@RVJedeye]

You since this video, there are some other options that are newer. Check out some of the sewer stuff from Camco, will make your life a little easier 😁

[@annek1226]

With all my years of camping I have never had a "smell" issue so I really cannot relate on any level! The only thing I ever did once we were "winterized" was to take a fresh box of fabric softener sheets in our favorite scent and toss sheets all over the place from front to back, side to side! I was once told that rodents didn't like the smell and will tell you with the exception of one year where we locked a chippy in, we never had a problem! Come spring I gathered them up in a plastic bag, hung it next to the dryer at home and used them up! No mixing, no hunting down assorted products, done! I guess it's whatever you are accustomed to doing!

[@RVJedeye]

Cindy you’re right... I don’t mix everything until I’m done cleaning up after a trip. Then right after I dump my tanks, then I pour in the cocktail 😊

[@cindyscott9244]

Thanks for getting back to me. So you think it is best not to mix the 4 items in advance? I would rather just have one jar to deal with instead of taking all the other bottles with me LOL. Just want to make sure it would be "safe"

I don’t own an RV but wondering if this would work for garbage disposal drain in my home.

[@RVJedeye]

I don’t know? I do know it stays in your tank and then flushes out eventually😊

[@NickAlati]

To clean your garbage disposal Tulsa heaping amount of ice cubes, run the hot water garbage disposal the same time until the ice cubes are gone then stick a half a cup of dawn dish soap onto the garbage disposal. The ice will clean up any debris grease or anything else gumming up the system and the dawn is a great degreaser and smells good

Mark Casillas We have a 30 foot Bullet trailer. We shock the tank with 1/2 cup bleach and put that in a 5 gallon bucket then add warm water. Pour the whole thing into the toilet and into the black tank for 30 minutes. Knocks the bacteria down greatly. We then fill the tank with the toilet and flush it after it’s full. When we re-prep the tank we use liquid tank treatment, cup of softener, cup of laundry liquid soup in 5 gallon bucket and fill with warm water. I’d also fill and flush your tank several times. Make sure you don’t have a lot of sludge and debris in the tank. I’ve heard of someone also adding lots of ice on trips. Ice starts to melt and while driving it sloshes around and works on the debris in the tank. When you arrive, fill the tank and flush a couple times or until it appears relatively clean. Happy travels!

Have you tried happy camper toilet chemical. We use it and never have any odor. The key is to never poo in you camper and never put any paper products in the black tank. Utilize the bath houses at the camp grounds. When boondocking use a simple bucket composting toilet.

@@hardtruth2039 Why get an RV? Using your 'own' toilet' is probably the biggest reason people get RV's and not tents. Proper sanitation and dumping, deodorizing are key. Then you have BM's a plenty without worry.

Fabric softener will gum your system up

Will kitty litter suck up the formaldehyde smell?

[@RVJedeye]

Some... that usually takes a very long time to go away😊

Do you do this after you've winterized your RV? We've already winterized and was wondering if it's too late or it's OK. Thanks 😊

[@RVJedeye]

I always do it after I RV on a trip during warm weather as I store it in between camping. When I winterize I take it all out😊

[@andrealee6526]

@@RVJedeye So then not during the winter....okay thank you. I went out to buy it all today.... I'll wait till we camp again. 😆😁

[@RVJedeye]

Yes I would. For me, in between trips it has really worked well😁

Is the ammonia safe for the seals?

[@RVJedeye]

I’ve not had any issues. Maybe because it’s diluted🙂

[@renaissancelady9938]

the backing soda (and possibly the fabric softener) probably helps to neutralize the ammonia...I would imagine. It would have to be tested to be sure... @@RVJedeye
