I have tablets to add to my black water tank but what does everyone else use for gray water tank additives to keep odors away and clean sensors?
Also should I use an additive for my fresh water tank? We do not use on board water for drinking.
New camper so I want to start out right...
Hi all. I have a 2021 Apex Tera, it's a small 15' camper but it's set up for boondocking and has a 50 gal fresh water tank.
However, we can never get the last 7-10 gallons of water in the tank because the outflow valve (not sure what it's called) is mounted on the side.
In the image you can...
I have a 2014 Wildcat 5th wheel with dual propane tanks. I can not get the passengers side tank to provide gas. Sense the tanks were close to 10 years old I ordered 2 new 30 lb. tanks. I have also replaced both pig tails, and replaced both regulators, and the hose between the the tanks. I have 2...
Hey everyone,
I’m new to the camper world and cannot get the electric water tank heater to produce hot water to save my life. The camper has the suburban sw6de heater. I have changed the heating element thinking that would have fixed the issue. The camper is at a campsite with electrical...
We are currently camping. My gray tank will not empty past 1/3.
Where is the gray tank positioned in a 2020 Rockwood Roo 233s? Why won't it drain completely?
My black tank is emptying all the way and the unit is very close to perfectly level. I've had this issue since day 1 with the gray tank...
Just finished sanitizing the fresh water tank for the 2nd time in the past year on our 24FW as I noticed the water had a very slight greenish tint to it when getting ready for a trip.
All good now after sanitizing but it got me wondering if it was better to leave the tank empty or full when...
Many RV 'vets' may be aware of the method graphically illustrated in the attached short YT video. The video highlights just how poorly the integrated black tank flush sprayer system is.
With the number of 'my black tank stinks' type posts, it may be of use to those newer to RV'ing.
I've...
Have a 2023 Forest River Salem Hemisphere 25RBHL. Trailer has a gray and black dump in the rear and a gray tank up front with its own dump. I was wondering if the 2 gray tanks will dump out of 1 dump valve. I've been running 2 different hoses and Y together at the sewer. I'm trying to get away...
This week I noticed the fresh water tank sensor indicated I had a full tank of water. I've never filled it. I turned off water from the campsite and ran the water pump to clear the tank, so at least I learned it works if I ever go boondocking. Still...how did the fresh water tank get water in...
Where do I drain the freshwater tank in my DLB179? We don't use that to drink from what I would like to flush it out after it sits for a while the two caps underneath behind the waist drain does not drain that out. Didn't find anything in the manuals yet

It's been quite awhile since I last flushed my black tank. When I recently tried, we got water all over the floor in the kitchen area; nothing in the bathroom. After I opened up the panel in the wall, and tried again, it appeared the water was coming from some type of strange...
I am just wondering if anyone has made a plumbing change and connected 2 grey water lines together? The reason I ask is that our 270FKS has the kitchen sink and bathroom grey water piped to the same outlet drain each with its own valve. As we don’t often use the kitchen sink I’ve been pondering...

Does anyone have this 5th wheel or 2013 or 2015 maybe? We are going to pull the underpinning off soon and look around more, but I'm trying to understand the tanks underneath more. In the front, we only have 1 pull valve to release both the gray and black water...
I am prepping for a trip next month and in the process of crawling around underneath I bumped the clean out for the holding tanks. Later I noticed a wet spot on the ground and found a crack in elbow from the black tank to the shut off valve. There are actually 2 cracks, one in the collar and...
We have a 2014 Georgetown 328 TS. When I was dewinterizing it, after flushing the air from the toilet and flushing it, I noticed water in my wet bay. I apparently have a leak between the black tank and the gate valve. I'm going to try tighten the band clamp at the black tank. Any ideas or...
This has probably already been asked - but I’d like to travel with a full water tank on my 2019 Rockwood Roo 183. I’ve heard arguments on both sides, but I want to know if this line is properly braced and supported, so it’s structural rated to carry a full tank.
Thoughts?
So this week I got tired of guessing how full my waste tanks were. Instead, first I emptied each tank completely. Then using a water meter filled each tank while watching for the indicator lights to come on. As each light 1/3, 2/3, Full came on I recorded how many gallons I had put in the...
I'm seriously considering installing SeaLevel II tank monitoring in my 2020 2109S. There's not a lot on the forums and the newest posts are a number of years old. Anyone have experience installing in a MiniLite? Some specific questions I have are:
How much grief is removing and reinstalling the...
What black tank additives are most people using?
Are there any grey tank additives recommended?
A friend who is an infrequent RVer claims that some campgrounds will not let you dump your tanks if there are any additives in the tanks. Not sure if that is related to a regional issue, to one...
This is my first Travel Trailer and so far I am loving the camping life!! I have 2 propane tanks on my new 2023 Salem Cruise Lite and I don't see a regulator to know how full my tanks are. I have attached pictures of the set up and I'm wondering if I'm missing something or if I can get a...
bought a used 2009 Lexington 283 gts and dumped for the first time today….i didn’t see a grey tank dump release lever….am I missing it somehwere? Operators manual is not helpful
Thanks!!!
We are getting a slow drip where abs pipe connects to black water tank. Its on a 2014 Rock Wood Mini 2109. Not sure but was told its a abs tank but isn't like abs pipe I'm familiar with as it has a matt finish almost looks brushed. There is abs connector that has what looks like hose clamp screw...
Hello FR Experts.
I recently filled my black water tank with rinse water, and have noticed a very slow leak where the tank flush hose attaches to the side of the tank. There is currently factory applied black caulk or other sealant at this fitting.
I am tempted to purchase a high-quality...
I've now noticed on my new 2022 alpha wolf 33bh-l (2 gray tanks and 2 black tanks) that while both the gray and black 1 tank sensors seem to read pretty accurately....gray tank 2 and black tank 2 read EMPTY ALL the time....even when full. Just in case, i super back flushed the black 2 and...
