    Hey TR! I bought a USED camper, and both black and grey tanks weren't in the best shape. The tank level indicators didn't work reliably at first (especially on the grey tank), but your Bio-Geo method fixed the problems with the indicators, and both tanks are flushing pretty clear now.
    I am SO GRATEFUL for your wonderful informative video!

    We have been using the BioGeo method for several years. It works! No smells. We use it on every cycle. The driving Road Flush we have only done a couple of times. The regular routine makes the Road Flush unnecessary except on rare occasions. It is very cost efficient. Thanks TR!

    Just curious. I’m about to purchase a new, small travel trailer. It has a combination black/grey tank. So.. would I use a combination of dish soap and degreaser, or one or the other? Thanks for a great video,and fabulous tips. I just want to,start from scratch with the proper maintenance!

    • @trbowlin
      @trbowlin  11 месяцев назад +1

      My truck camper is the same way with a combined tank. For every third or fourth tank I use orange cleaner, the rest of the time I use dawn. Thanks for watching!

    Hey TR, my RV is starting to stink like ammonia and septic. It’s coming from under the rv and seeping inside. I’m not sure if there’s leaks from the tanks but for sure there’s stench. (I’ve had it for about 1.5yrs full time living)

    • @trbowlin
      @trbowlin  Месяц назад

      Yes, unfortunately there is probably a leak. Does it smell all the time, or come and go? Does your toilet hold water between flushes?

  • @cpalenshus1
    @cpalenshus1 Месяц назад

    Can I combine the super soak and road flush methods? In other words, can I do the super soak at home 1 week before camping and then drive to the campground and dump when I get there? That would essentially do both unless it would cause a problem. I want to make sure that I don't need space in the tank for better sloshing or that I won't cause and problems when driving with a full tank with all that borax, degreaser/dawn mixture.

    • @trbowlin
      @trbowlin  Месяц назад +1

      YES, that would work very well. It will not cause a problem. Thanks for watching!

  • @riverrat82
    @riverrat82 Год назад

    I did all the steps and it worked like a champ. No more smell. I went a step further. Once we got home set up the camper. I filled it up half way added the borax and soap. Every other day I would add more water via the flush out to give it a good stir after about 10 days hooked up drove to the local campground dump and flushed for about 45 min “nobody was waiting so why not” now yes you guessed it all the sensors are working.

    Good morning I have a stationary park model Jayco bungalow arrived up there yesterday no water on in the park yet. It looks like the toilet and the septic had gone dry over the winter and smell quite bad with the borax be the solution to get rid of the smell and the trailer and of course, filling it with water to once they turn on the water in the park, thank you.

    • @trbowlin
      @trbowlin  2 месяца назад +1

      Yes, add some water if you can get it and add some borax. Borax without water will not stop the stink. Thanks for watching!

    • @johna5428
      @johna5428 2 месяца назад

      At our park, we only have holding tanks in the ground.So the owner has to come pump them out when they're full.He won't be happy with me with all this flushing going on

    • @johna5428
      @johna5428 2 месяца назад

      Once I get a clear doubt will I need to add the campa fresh deodorizer or is that no longer necessary

    • @trbowlin
      @trbowlin  2 месяца назад

      Once you get them clean the deodorizer is not necessary. Just follow the prescription and you should be good to go in short order!

  • @pattiemcmillian5006
    @pattiemcmillian5006 Год назад +1

    Ty,
    I use the pump “ the mascacrator “ bc I’m too far from the septic tank for gravity flush. Does this change your processes?

    • @trbowlin
      @trbowlin  Год назад +3

      No, it does not change the method!

    Hi TR My situation is this. I’ve used your method and also sometimes use Happy Campers. I’m full time and was in an Rv park for 14 months .Then had to move to another state. I’m starting to experience bad smell when black tank gets close to full. Never had this before. It’s happening right now. Can I add the borax and Dawn before I flush tonight to help with the smell? Then add again afterward?

    • @trbowlin
      @trbowlin  Год назад

      Just add the borax. That should stop the stink. then Borax and dawn after you flush tonight to the next couple of tanks.

    I used one of the clear elbows to check what’s coming out of the tanks when I drain them. I attached my sewer hose to the clear elbow. When I opened the tanks got a nasty surprise…huge leak sprung from the connection where the hose meets the clear elbow…yuck! Any suggestions for getting a good seal at the connections? They seem pretty secure when I put the them together.

    • @trbowlin
      @trbowlin  10 месяцев назад +1

      Probably need to replace the hose gaskets. They are cheap and available here: amzn.to/45LlI0n
