    My V-lite has a built in black water tank flush connection. I have used it several times. So usually I shut the water off feeding the TT and bring it around and connect to the flush connection and turn the water back on. When doing it like this, I am then using the water pressure regulator...

    After Market Black Water Flush Systems

    It is taking too long and too much water to get the black water tank clean on my Surveyor (SV230). I use a reverse flush attachment and hose attached spray cleaner. Does anyone have experience or advice on adding an after market tank flush system?
