Septic Problem?
I was emptying my black tank the other day and noticed a piece of plastic pipe inside the outlet dump pipe as I was about to cap the dump pipe. My guess would be it's part of a inner sleeve that gave ...

Hank, Happy Camper does break up the solids in a holding tank and when you flush most of what comes out has turned into water and does not stink up the camp ground like people that do not use anything. I discovered Happy Camper at the FMCA rally in Indio and it is great. Wish every RVer would try it before they knock it down. There is nothing worse then to be parked next to a RVer that does not use anything on his holding tank. Stinks up the RV park every time he opens that dump valve.
Okay, I won't dispute that it works. I use lot's of water in my black tank and haven't had any issues. I have the hose end fitting that fits snugly into the hookup pipe and don't really have an issue with odor. Is that because of the water diluting things or the fitting, I don't know. I know that gray tanks often have a worse order than the black. The soap, grease and food waste can create a terrible odor, especially in hot weather.
If Happy Camper works, great. Question, how many people in your RV? How often do you have to empty the black tank? Just curious.
Just me and the wife. We have to dump average once a week or seven days. And you are correct about the gray tank and the smell. We apply these enzymes on both tanks and we quit having sensor problems. They are 100% accurate all the time. It is hard to believe but when you dump the tanks there are no solids. This chemical works pretty fast. There are others that I have seen sold at Thousand Trails preserves. They are in a capsule, while the Happy Camper is a powder.
I believe my holding tanks are 55 gal and 45 gal.
