Kathy, you’re the second person I’ve heard of that does this, and I don’t think it is nasty as long as it is handled properly. An air-tight container or tie-off plastic trash or grocery bag, sounds appropriate to me.
Think about it; all those people who go tent camping in the boon docks and how they handle going to the toilet, using toilet paper, etc. I use the regular toilet paper which I used in my house, and it does seem like the black water tank sensors are always a bit off as “Old Guy“ said.
Don’t know if that is because of toilet paper or not. But I do think that if a person uses big wads of toilet paper every time that does add up when it comes to dumping your black tank and could cause problems.
Executive, thanks for the tip on not using bleach, and the simple rules which do sound like a good way to do things. WoodGlue, and others saying to use a lot of water when dumping your black tank also sound like a good idea.
I used to put the city water hose through an RV widow and run it into the toilet. Leave it on for awhile to flush out the black tank, but now I have a “hydro-flush” attached to my drain opening and can shoot water up into the tank instead of putting the water hose through a window. My fifth wheel also has a hose attachment where you can flush out the black water tank.
