I happened on your " TeachMeRV" on RUclips while viewing "Flagstaff E Pro" RV's and you were setting up the TV antenna. Your instructional video was the best one! I have been researching RV's since 2019. I hope to buy one. In 2024/2025. Since I drive a Honda Pilot, I can only tow 5,000 pounds. Again great presentation!
Interesting. Never would have thought to use that much water. I will think a little more one it. Of course there is now reason I can't stick the cleaning tube down in the tank and do it myself. Good video. Watched the tank flush video first and had to come over and see what I was doing wrong with my toilet.
Sorry you had a problem glad we could help fix it. Thank you for the comment it is great to know that we are helping. To help fix the problem you have now be sure to try warm and hot water to help breakup what is at the bottom of the tank
yep even if you are hauling it home to sit. The moisture in the tank will help keep the tank "moist" and prevent particles stuck to the side of the tank from turning into solid rocks
Hello I have a 2021 keystone pasport 268bh that is reading full on the black tank scanner. It says I have a 30 gallon black tank capacity. I'm trying to clean off my sensor i have RV digester that says to add 2 gallons of water down the toilet then add 4 oz of digester. I followed your method after draining my tanks so they should have been empty. My question is the digester say to fill up my tank so should i need to add approximately 30 gallons or so to reach the sensor and how do you avoid overfilling the tank? I'm worried i could overfill the black tank since the sensor doesn't read correctly.
When I have a tank I am trying to clean I fill the tank from the inside. Just holding the foot valve open or running a garden hose inside the camper down the toilet. We are going to be doing a video on this topic in the future
Hi, how do you dispense water without flushing the moment you push down on the pedal? Obviously there's something wrong with mine. Guess I'll have to find another flushing video. Thanks anyway.
Hello I need some help I replaced my rv slide out floor but when installed back now when I slide it in it hit the corner frame which makes the sliding hard or noisi. Could you give me an advice. Thanks
New here, I have an old rv I purchased and have no idea how to use the water or toilet. the tank is empty and I doubt its clean. So how to fill and clean it ? as for the toilet so just poor water in the toilet 4 times? then flush 4 times? where does the water go? Im scared it may leak in the wrong bottom of the rv or some. does that water go in the water tank? I haven't found a good video that can show me how my rv functions with the water tank and how to clean it.
Recommend it yes. At least when you get read leave to head home fill the tank all the way to help break everything down during the trip to the dump station. Or fill at the dump station to the point that the black tank is full before emptying the tank
Hey Batman, love the videos. Questions I leave water in the bowl, when I leave the rv for few days, when opening the rv you get slapped with the smell. I'm using the blue drops. Also unit is new, has only been used for a couple of weeks. Tanks are being dumped everyday. Help me out Batman. Thanks for your time helping us in the rv world
Stop dumping it everyday and use more water when you flush. Let the tank fill to at least 2/3 of a tank full. We are going to be doing another video on this shortly -JR
How many gallon of water is in a standard rv toilet up to that lip line. I'm just trying to figure out approximately how fast my black tank will be full as my sensors don't appear to be accurate. I have 27 gallon gray and 27 gallon black tank.
Hey JR - love the vids and humor. I am a newbie to the RV world and recently purchased my first travel trailer. Been watching your videos to help provide guidance. This may be a silly ask but wanted to fully understand the process. Are you preforming this tank flush prior to black tank flush and upon arrival EACH time at the campsite/ground or after black tank flush? I saw you mention it was good to leave some water in the black tank. I thought if the trailer will not be used for several weeks +, it was not good to leave water in the tanks? Thanks in advance!! Steve owes you multiple shirts and probably shorts too!!
Do them at the end of the camping trip before you go home We are going to be doing a new black tank video where we explain this process more for you stay subscribed and you will see it when it comes out Steve only got one shirt lol -JR
If the flap is getting stuck open you might need to lube it. I use Vaseline. I have seen where they need to be replaced if the valve is bent or twisted -JR
I'm new. I have my 19" TT parked and not hooked up to anything. I placed a good amt of water in the Clean Water tank thinking I could flush the toilet. No such thing happened. What do I need to do?
Too much water isn't good for septic holding tanks. It's rare that people do use too much water, but it happens. I used to drive a septic truck. I've seen a lot of shit.
Yep with a septic tank it can be but with an rv sewage tank it does not have the same issues. We tend to get issues with building up of solids on the bottom of the holding tanks -JR
Why does every camper need a sink at the toilet ??? Without a sink you have more place to take a shit and you can wash your hands in the kitchen ... 1.5 meter walk ....
Learned this the hard way this morning. Use MORE water folks. Great video!
More water is always best

this guy is great!!!! watched all the videos and humor makes me learn
Thank you! I try to make it fun....I know I learn better when I am laughing
He’s not going to demonstrate #1 because of RUclips. Dang RUclips keeping us from important knowledge.
Hey Steve, awesome videos! Thanks for sharing with us,.
Glad it could help
Guy is actually funny, and I'm hard to humor; informative too, but I wanted to comment on this.
Thank you for the kind words! May your RV trips be full of joy and great memories, John.
Maybe a stupid question but do I repeat this process each black tank dump flush? Thank you very helpful!
yep even if you are hauling it home to sit. The moisture in the tank will help keep the tank "moist" and prevent particles stuck to the side of the tank from turning into solid rocks
Someone please get this man a shirt, Steve!!!
He finally did
Need more people so spread this video more
I know....we are going to be doing another one with a little more details
-JR
Ok. Good rules.
Do you put chemicals amd 4 flushes after every time you dump too?
Dump the tank yes. Dump the body no lol

Just push down lightly
Hello I need some help I replaced my rv slide out floor but when installed back now when I slide it in it hit the corner frame which makes the sliding hard or noisi. Could you give me an advice. Thanks
No idea would have to see it. Could be an slide alignment issue

Odderless and let it sit full of clean water for 3 days or so. We will have a video on this over the winter
So.... What about after each normal day to day flush to we bring the water level back to the fill line?
Yes stay tuned we are going to do another video on this
-JR
Do you have a checklist for tearing down and disconnecting everything correctly getting ready to leave the campsite?
No but I want to make one....I do not think that will happen this season
-JR
This would be sooooo helpful!! Your set-up video was great and this newbie appreciates you very much!! Thanks!
I couldn't see how you fill up to the water line. Is there a separate button/pedal?
By pressing the pedal half way down
On mine you have to put the top of your foot under the pedal and lift up to get the level of water you want in the bowl then flush.
Should I say sweet... Great info. Don’t forget to lay down some RV friendly TP before all numbers 2’s 🤔☠️
We did a RV toilet paper video a while back but thank you for mentioning it. I did forget to say that in the video
>that based 30 year old boomer sipping monster
OK I'm hooked.
And a batman fanboy
Love the videos..... that faucet....
not so much..... They need to put gooseneck faucets in the bathrooms.
We can always order you one
Black monster, lol. thank you for the vid@!
Old school!
-JR
I usely use my universal gamer but this is mom's account but strate to the point how do you turn on a komfort trailer 5th wheel toilet
Most trailers are the same. What year is it
-JR
Do you adhere to this same regimen when dry camping?
Recommend it yes. At least when you get read leave to head home fill the tank all the way to help break everything down during the trip to the dump station. Or fill at the dump station to the point that the black tank is full before emptying the tank
We are going to be a new video with some updates on this
-JR
Cousin Eddie wouldn't have filled that toilet before peeing in it.
Good vid.
Cousin Eddie would have used the sink

1 Gallon

Hey JR Love the videos. I've noticed you always have a Monster Energy Drink in your hand or nearby.......What's your favorite flavor?.
The zero line. Any of them

Steve only got one shirt lol
-JR
Goodness, how interesting would it be to live in one of these.
Most are not designed to live in just used recreation
-JR
It’s not
Why when I flush my toliet in my camper the flap want open
If the flap is getting stuck open you might need to lube it. I use Vaseline. I have seen where they need to be replaced if the valve is bent or twisted
-JR
Thank you .
You bet! Let us know what other topics you want covered
-JR
Thank God, I know how to poop now! My Depends were getting really full 🙂 Just kidding, great video guys!
Glad we can help
Our toilet won’t hold water. Why
Guess over the internet....toilet seal or ball valve seal. Try holding the foot valve down and lubing the exposed black seal with vaseline
Ease up on the Black Monster, and you'll be in there less often.
HAHAHA
JR
I'm new. I have my 19" TT parked and not hooked up to anything. I placed a good amt of water in the Clean Water tank thinking I could flush the toilet. No such thing happened. What do I need to do?
Did you turn on your RV's water pump?
Fill fresh tank and turn on water pump like Cameron said
19" ? That's a small trailer. You use a hot wheels to pull it lol
Your hands are so nice
First time I have been told that
-JR
Wait. So u poo into the dry bowl. Dump the poo. Then fill w water twice.. So I guess my poopourri won't work. Dang.
How do u add water to the toliet?
Most rvs have a 2 position foot valve. Half way down fills. All the way down flushes
@@therealjr9175 ....thank you!
@@DigitalimageryTV anytime
@@therealjr9175 does it require the water pump to be on? IE can I use the toilet if batteries are dead?
Get it all figured out?

I think he was saying when you're dumping your into your septic this would be bad
Has Steve got you a shirt yet? It’s been forever
Nope still waiting on it....each time he comes to visit he says he forgot it
Ok he got me one finally
Why does every camper need a sink at the toilet ??? Without a sink you have more place to take a shit and you can wash your hands in the kitchen ... 1.5 meter walk ....
I guess some folks don't like to wash "shit" off where they eat
We have one on the outside of our toilet area lol
