Well gents I have an update.
I found some of that awesome stuff, and it is....AWESOME......spray it on, count to 30, and wipe off. Great stuff
The black tank is full, I flushed the can, and it is almost to the flap thing.
I also found the battery cable was disconnected at the inverter, I hooked it back up and charged the battery. Works great.
Still need to clean the fresh tank.
But now I have a serous problem. I found water damage. I think the roof leaks. The RR of the trailer is gone. I was getting ready to clean the awning and I noticed the screws that hold it in on top moved a bit, I climbed a ladder to look at them and they were loose. I tried to cinch them down and they just turned, I removed one and it just popped out with rotted wood it the threads. I looked deeper and it's the entire wall and floor and ceiling in the corner. To make it worse, it's the same corner where the water heater is and the wall where the bathroom is.
I'm a handy guy and good with tools, but is this something I should try? I already ripped out the closet that was in that corner and removed the water heater.
I'm in the military and we dont really make a lot of money so I can't afford to take it to a shop.
