Tornado flush added to black waste tank...
While working on a different black tank issue, I decided to finally add a black tank flush system. My hope is that it will keep my sensors clean and accurate. It seems like most times when I dump my...

And...it only costs ~$33 so replacing it every couple of years wouldn't be a big deal and keeps the hose and wand from going through a window and through the RV. I'll keep you posted.
For those who don't need/like/care about tank sensors, to each their own. I think most people want to see/know the status of their tanks, especially if they have kids or guests or renters, etc (otherwise you don't always know how much is in there).
Here is a great video comparison of various flush systems you can buy:

It shows pretty clearly that things like the Flush King are basically good for just refilling your black tank with water and doing another flush (which is useful...but it doesn't "spray" the interior of the tank and won't get it nearly as clean as a working Tornado).
As stated, my primary motivation for adding this is to hopefully be able to keep my tank sensors clean and reading accurately without having to bring a hose+wand into the RV which is a pain and messy. I should be able to report back in a few months after several trips to give an update.
Happy Camping!
