Thats a first class install by the OP, but I still don't understand the need. We have had a TT or 5er since the late 80's of different flavors and up until the early 2010's had not seen many if any of these gimmicks installed from the factory. Now its apparently a must have. The current 2018 Rockwood has it OEM, I've never used it. Now days it's like your a 2nd class RV'er if you don't have a tank flush. The only benefit I have seen is they increase the wait at the dump station by a factor of 2 or 3 times. But then again if you must have a squeaky clean black tank.
Never having used one, you haven't seen the benefits. Of course the only benefit you have seen is the increased wait time at the dump.
I added one to my first RV. My current Airstream came with one from the factory. I have a clear section that I put between the tank and the stinky slinky so I can see what is coming out. It is amazing how much more "stuff" I see come out while using the rinser after the dump finished. I don't care if the black tank is "squeaky clean," but I do want all of the solids out of the tank, not sitting in there petrifying.
I will say, however, that I only use the rinser if my site has its own dump station, or at home. I never use it when using the communal dump stations.
