It WORKS GUYS!! We went two weeks without using our RV bathroom and went to different places just because of the clog. We had no idea what to do until we stumbled across this vid. A few tips ⬇️ 1. I couldn’t find the female hose pex adapter he used in the video, so instead at Home Depot I bought a 3/4 in. FHT x 1/2 in. plumbing fitting for the pex pipe, alongside a 3/4 in basic 50’ hose and it worked great. 2. Be sure to light the pex pipe with some sort of flame so it can squeeze in the fitting 3. I bought a 10 foot 1/2” pex pipe and asked the people at Home Depot to cut it to 7 ft, although I still had to pay the price of a full 10 ft. 10 ft was way too long. 4. When I got back to the RV, I actually didn’t need water right away and the blockage actually broke after jamming it a few times with the pex. I then turned the hose on and kept jamming it for about 5-8 minutes. I then opened the valve and voila… waste heaven! 😅 5. Be sure to not use regular home tissue but ONLY rv tissue, make sure the valves are closed until ready to dump even when connected to sewer, and hold the flush for a few seconds so enough water can go down with the waste. 6. Maybe add a porta pak or some other waste digestive system to clear out any excess in the tank
This is by far the best video out here about this, thanks a million. Love the no nonsense video, no cutsie music or husband and wife fakery team bs. My tank is clogged near the outlet so I will do this. Must be dirty as hell when you pull the pipe out of the toilet. I'll have an industrial size garbage bag available. I'm a full-timer, so this is great!! ----also love how you fire up the torch in your RV!!
Thank you so much I’m 19 and own my trailer no one in my family has one that they live in so needless to say when mine got clogged I was worried it would really cost me ! I was able to do this fix it myself and learn how to prevent it for less than 10$ and not even 15 mins!! This video saved me so much time money and worrying! But needless to say I’ll be keeping a better eye on my little nephew in the bathroom 🤦♀️
We tried everything short of calling in specialists, and nothing worked - this method had us fixed in no time flat 👍 this video deserves so much credit, thank you!!!
We've lived in a fifth-wheel 80% of the time since 2000. Just recently did we encounter our first clog! This way worked great! Thanks for making this helpful video!
You solved a really "crappy" problem! Built my own personal blaster 8' long and it had us back up and running in no time!! One if the best tips I have seen in sometime!! Thanks so much!!
Tried your method today and it totally worked. It took some time but after about 20 minutes poking around with a 7 foot section of 1/2 inch pipe I finally unclogged our black tank. We were at the point of looking for dog friendly hotels. Thank you!
Just unblocked and cleaned my black tank this way. Bought 10' x 1/2" pex (Home Depot $4) and a 1/2" female garden hose end (Ace HW $9) to connect to water hose. Worked like a charm!!
It worked thank you so much i was about to lose my s^ no pun intended after a week of this i was searching for repairs guys you saved me time and money again thank you
OMG, this finally solved our problem. Fighting a clog with various chemical and snakes with barely any movement.... but this worked. Took about an hour from start to finish once we got the hang of it. Running smooth now :) Thanks for the help!!
Bless your heart! It worked. But I used RV to live in in retirement. Had to replace the AC, had to replace the fridge coming not to mention the 9,000 little Diddley things I've had to do and then the freaking toilet stops up. I tried several things before I ran across your video and then I went to home Depot and bought the PEX pipe. I didn't even have to hook up the water just rummaging around the bottom with the pipe unclogged it.
Bought a 10-ft stick of PEX for four bucks and a shark bite half inch to half inch threaded connected it to my bathroom shower head hose turned on the water and did what you told me to do. The toilet unclogged in less than 30 seconds. This was an awesome video thank you!
Stool softeners and drinking lots of water helps too. Let's face it, the food you eat while vacationing in your travel trailer, makes for some beer can sized clay bricks. Those thinks are prone to sticking to the bottom of the tank and slowing everything down. Also, use a bidet and greatly cut down on TP.
Just want to say that your solution saved my bacon. Blocked up black water tank. First time rv.owner, didn't know to leave black tank drain valve closed while hooked up on the water. Flushed it out loke you showed, worked like a charm. Thank you, God Bless.
Your method absolutely works. I tried many other tricks and got nowhere. With your trick it unclogged in a couple of minutes. I went a little overboard and got 2 5ft pieces of pex tubing and coupled them together with a hose fitting on the end, because my trailer has a long drop down into the tank, which made it kind of hard to manage with the hose attached. So in hindsight 5ft would've been enough. Either way it worked like a champ, thank you... A side note, because my tank was full almost to the toilet, I ran the pex down with no water at first, as soon as I saw the water level drop, I turned the water on and moved the pex around in all directions and kept doing it until the water in the bottom of my tank was clear...
So glad I watched. Turned out I just had some paper at the top "valve" bit and didn't have a problem at all! But I made DARN sure I put quite a bit of water in! Thanks!
36 seconds in and I'm laughing bc after trying all manner of RV chemicals, and a thin metal piece, I was walking with a piece if H mould that I had cut and saw the PEX and thought 💭 cap one end and feed it down until it budges. I even dreamed it in the short nap that I had today. And now here you are telling about using PEX.
Will this work even if the clog is backed up into the toilet. We can’t add water. Our toilet won’t even drain at all now. Snake didn’t work. Chemicals did nothing. I’m gonna try this because it’s my last hope.
I just fill the tank, go outside and beat the hell out of the bottom the tank with my hand as I'm draining the tank. Poopoo and tp come flying out with ease.
This works great. BUT EVEN EASIER, buy a can of ether. Shoot the ether down the toilet. For about five seconds. Then toss a match down the hole. Waterproof matches work best. Even a BBQ lighter works. Whump! DONT FORGET TO HAVE THE BLACKWATER DRAIN OPEN. otherwise you're gonna blow shit apart. If you do this method, pls post the video of it. ;)

Tried tips from many other videos with no success. Had my tank unclogged in 5 minutes using your method! You are the man!! Many thanks.

This guy saved our RV. It worked 100%. 1/2 pex!!! We didnt even need to attach the water hose from the shower.

I see what you mean about using a 6-7’ section of hose, they only had a 5’ at the store. It still worked great. Thank you for putting out the video.
I love it, " whatever ya got".
Good Ideal, just ran into this for the first time in 10 years.
Best method yet worked in 5 minutes.
Absolutely best technique on RUclips concerning this issue , worked first try thanks so much for the help !
veryu good video, i appreciate that not annoying background music was added, thanks
This really works!!!! Thanks for making this video!
Worked like a champ! Took maybe five minutes. You rock!

Will be buying the pex today and using RV Digest It! Thank you for this video! We are newbies 😅
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Pex worked after having tried many suggestions. Will use more water from now on
This is definitely 💯 the way I'll do mine from now on.
Damn. Best vid. Straight to the point. Thank you.
This worked great, $11.00 at home depot for a 10ft piece of pex and a sharkbite. 5 minute of stirring the pot and it's clear
Great straight forward video! Thanks
So glad I watched. Turned out I just had some paper at the top "valve" bit and didn't have a problem at all! But I made DARN sure I put quite a bit of water in! Thanks!
36 seconds in and I'm laughing bc after trying all manner of RV chemicals, and a thin metal piece, I was walking with a piece if H mould that I had cut and saw the PEX and thought 💭 cap one end and feed it down until it budges.
I even dreamed it in the short nap that I had today. And now here you are telling about using PEX.
how do I remove Grandchildren deposited objects from black tank that are causing blockage?
If you work the pex pipe with out water pressure- it will fill up the pipe with everything in your tank. 😝
Just what I needed to know !!!
I’m buying the pex tomorrow, I hope it works.
Wonder if its plugged with baby wipes. What the unplugging fix
Great method thanks so much!
Will this work even if the clog is backed up into the toilet. We can’t add water. Our toilet won’t even drain at all now. Snake didn’t work. Chemicals did nothing. I’m gonna try this because it’s my last hope.
Man, water isn’t my issue. I’m backed up with water and poop into the toilet. You still think this idea will work?
Worked for us, the water from the hose adds pressure to the blockage as you jam it with the pex pipe
I just fill the tank, go outside and beat the hell out of the bottom the tank with my hand as I'm draining the tank. Poopoo and tp come flying out with ease.
It worked! Thank you!
I dropped the oring and apparently vacuumed it up. What a headache!!
People who leave the dump valve open cause their own problems..
My stepdad did this……he’s blaming me for it and now im trying to fix it
Thanks gonna try it out today 💩
My drain curves to the left so you can't move it at all when down inside.. doesn't seem to work for me
Why am I not getting water flow on my thetford toilet
I don't think this will work on all RVs. Our 2012 Montana has an elbow directly below the toilet.
What do you do with all the shit that flows out ?
Hot or cold water ?????
Im confused....what do u do if there is water already inside ur tank
If it’s blocked, just make sure to close the valves and follow this same method and it should work
MY WIFE BROKE OUR. The lever is stuck... smh
NON-MACERATOR TOILETS ONLY.
This would have been good if he actually "showed" how to "Keep "working it" like he keeps going on about.
whatever.
Time to change the battery in you smoke detector.
