  • Have you ever wondered how us RVers deal with our "business"? Well, with a very slight modification, our business is about the same as you cave dwellers. Using an RV toilet can be a real mess, if you don't know how! In this video, I show you in a short humorous skit, how to get your doodles down the drain pipe without making a big swirly mess in the bowl. Using the Dometic 310 is a breeze but these tips can help with other water flush type RV toilets as well. Just don't eat the Turtles!

    Thank you. This is PRECISELY what I have wanted to know. No joke. This should be required viewing for all who buy an RV. Your metaphors were spot on and preserved the dignity of this undignified necessity. I admire your courage for approaching this subject head on. Public service.

      You can do it! if it's a new one it will come with manuals for each and every system that was installed at the factory. READ THEM! So many people don't and things fail. There is a large amount of incorrect information out there! I have all the periodic maintenance items loaded in my phones calendar so I get reminders to take care of things.

      You should've rented a few before buying, to see what you want in one or what not. It's a few thousand dollars investment. Seems I'm a few months late

      1. Plug in the electrical cable
      2. Hook up the sewage hose. Put one end into the waste dump and connect the other end to your trailer waste outlet then pull the waste valve handle.
      3. Use a water hose to fill the on board water tanks.
