Are those black tank cleaning wands worth it?
You know the kind.. $15-20, attach to a hose.. I'm assuming used through the toilet to clean the black tank. Worth it? Any better techniques to keeping the blank tank clean?

There are a few ways to deal with cleaning the black tank:
A flush wand down the toilet. Before I knew you could buy them I made one by capping off a piece if 1/2" copper pipe, cross-drilling the cap with some 1/4" holes, and adding a female hose fitting to the other end.
Empty the tank, add a few gallons of water and 2 bags of ice cubes, and go for a drive. The ice / water sloshing around will clean the tank.
Add a black tank rinse system, best done when the tank is new and unused. My new TT has one but the jury is still out on its effectiveness.
And do a search for the "Geo method" - using Calgon to prevent buildup.
