      Someone comes and tells you that washing poop with water is effective and suddenly its "myth busted!"???? You havent proved anything. And based on the fact your were so easily convinced water is all you need to clean your tanks well enough to eat off of as you said, i wonder what misinformation your other videos might be spreading. Its cool that you have a channel, but this video is just dumb. By your logic, I assume you have stopped using shampoo and soap in the shower, correct? Cause you cant tell me a half full tank of crap is cleaner the the average persons hair.

      There was no mention of protecting the toilet inside from any overspray. It should have the lid closed and perhaps
      sealed with tape or plastic wrap as a precaution. Err on the side of caution.

    Finally. Somebody stops mincing around the point and tells me how it works. As an old retired science teacher I can really appreciate this straightforward explanation of HOW IT WORKS.
    In fact, I just now put the principals of 'jetting water' and 'flushing' to work. And yes, after sticking the hose with a high pressure nozzle on the the end of it down the black tank and flushing it several times I FINALLY cleared the sensors and the tank. Unusually the gray tank was harder and it took several back flushes before I got the last sensor to clear but clear it did. Probably because the gray tank doesn't have a large diameter access hole for the hose pressure nozzle but it did FINALLY work. Many many thanks...gives me almost as much satisfaction as finding the automatic choke adjustment on the generator. Both problems were probably some 23 years in the making as I've got a 2000 Born Free.

    Black tank sensor lights have been somewhat more accurate since I stopped using Happy Camper. The only time I get an "empty" reading is at the end of the season when I fill the black tank with fresh water, let it sit overnight, then drain. I always keep 5 gallons in each (34 gallon) tank when traveling. Never had a problem with gray.

  • @busaj383
    @busaj383 8 дней назад +1

    Some good info here! I never understood why people would leave their grey tank open, even for a long shower. If you are that worried you are going to fill it up how bout maybe pull the valve and dump it before the shower, problem solved. Just don't say it's easier that way, when I comes down to people just being lazy. I go as far as draining and the disconnecting my drain hoses every time and hooking them back up even when staying in the same location for weeks. Being left out in the sun every day really breaks down the hose. Also the lawn people at some park weed wack and put a hole in it. After 7 years of full time living and buying a new waste hose every year from leaks for 5 of those years. Still on the same hose for 3 years now after putting it away every time. It's not for everyone, but works great for me dumping the Grey tank once a week and the Black tank dumping and flushing once a month 👍

    We have a flusher on both the grey and black tanks and use the 12oz of Pinesol and 2oz of calgon after every flush out. I also use a plastic cup of Happy Camper in my grey tank to keep the sensors clean. Have never used RV toilet paper and just added a bidet to our coach as well and it not only cuts down on the use of toilet paper, but also adds extra water which is your friend! We are going on our 10 year of full time and have had no issues with this method. The man is correct in what he suggests!

    I purchased a 10 year old Class A about 18 months ago and have always wondered what the tanks held after 4 previous owners plus the sensors on the black tank never worked correctly. After watching this video I contacted Kleen Tank and by the next day they had contacted me back and had an appointment within the week. They came out today and wow I was surprised how bad my tanks were. According to the guy my tanks really only about a C on the scale which is better than I thought. They were very professional, friendly and did a great job both during and after cleaning up. Now my sensors work for both tanks and well worth the money and I highly recommend Kleen Tank. Thank you!

    Having lived off and on more than 50 years on a sailboat, I can testify that TP is a no no. Just keep a bag in the head and throw TP away in the bag. If you close it and change it frequently, it doesn't smell, and you never ever have the problem of TP blockage. I follow our sailing protocols on our RV, and it helps!

      I do t same thing as you. And……. I’m a sailor also. A small trash can lined with a Walmart bag works nicely next to the toilet in the head.
      Some may not agree, but no one has complained or said anything yet.
      I used to be in the Navy. Now I’m a REAL sailor. 🤪

    Great video. Thank you for sharing. I never knew this service existed. You know you can trust a guy that freely gives away all his secrets and relies on hard work and not schemes to make a living. The myths busted make total sense now that I hear the reasoning. We are picking up a new RV in a couple days. It will never see the store bought additives. Buying the flush king and water meter.

    **Edit: sub'd!!
    This is great!!! I am now 1 year in as a new rv'er. From go I grabbed one of the back flush valves along with that exact same black/green meter for my black/grey needs, as well as a white/blue one for my fresh tank fill.
    Thank you for so much helpful knowledge, freely shared. I now believe that I have not bet traveling to my next sites with enough water left in my tanks to help agitate that gunk within each. And I have never dumped upon newly arriving. I will now always travel half full and dump and flush when I reach my next site.
    I'm will be cutting back on my treatments and focusing on water, water, water!!
    Hearing and seeing you do this work has turned on so many lights in my mind. Looking back over my first year of use, certain things I have experienced so far makes a lot of sense.

    I wish there was one of the Kleen Tank companies here in Central Ontario.
    I see there is one in Ottawa, which is too far from us, dang it.
    It’s amazing how many camper trailers that have sensors that don’t work; now we know why

  • @billjaeger4839
    @billjaeger4839 Год назад +3

    I enjoyed the pep talk about black tank cleaning... Its nice to know that I have been doing things right for 30 years.... I always flush my tanks out (at least twice each time), I always prefer to use RV park bathrooms when possible so I reserve my black tank for night time use.... I also use a good soap and a flushing wand to "scrub" the tank.... its always nice to be able to do maintenance on the toilet and tank and not have death slime to deal with....

    I’ve been using Jim’s recipe for a year now after seeing a video from another RUclipsr. I don’t have any issues with the sensors or foul odors.
