A set of questions for everybody that inhabits this thread, in hopes of starting a useful discussion ...
A friend asked me (offline) about black water, gray water, and fresh water tank maintenance. (I'll direct them here to see everybody's thoughts, suggestions, and comments.)
Special RV toilet paper or regular toilet paper?
Deodorizer or enzyme treatment?
What works to clean the tanks (especially black water)?
How often should you dump the tank? Quarter full, half full, or completely full? (They plan to full-time so the black water tank is important.)
Dish soap, laundry detergent, trisodium phosphate (TSP), chlorine bleach, or nuclear bombs?
Several hundred pages ago, Leeann (I think) posted about using ice cubes to "scrub" the black water tank. It might be worth repeating here or posting a link to that comment.
On my friend's behalf, thank you in advance.
