Well, I suppose that depends upon how dirty it is, an if you have any solids stuck in there, like the famous "poop pyramid."
Assuming you have no hard build-up, cleaning the tank is really pretty simple.
1. Drain the water and contents.
2. Fill with water.
3. Dump.
It's really that simple.
To clean a little better, for example, if your sensors are not working quite right.
1. Dump your tank.
2. Fill the tank with water and dump again.
3. Fill the tank with about 5 gallons of water and bit of laundry soap or a few good squirts of Dawn dishwashing liquid and take the camper for a good 20 minute drive with lots of turns and stops and goes. This will let the water slosh and beat up the insides of the tank, breaking anything free that might be stuck to the sensors.
4. Return home and dump the tank immediately.
You can incorporate back-flushing with a Flush King, you can incorporate spraying down the inside of the tank with a toilet wand on the end of garden hose, you can add a bit of bleach and go for a drive, any number of thing like this. All will work well to keep the tank clean.
Clean water sloshing when on the road is really the most effective way to keep them clean. Dump immediately when stopping.
