Many campers believe that your black tank must be " surgically " clean after dumping . Why I have never understood . My way , dump it , add a couple gals. of water , hit the road ! Many will tell ya to clean , hose , clean again , add chemical , look inside with a flash lite ! Why !! Do not forget what it is for !
I'm in a Facebook group that is full of noobs. Some of them are absolutely convinced that they need to go through all sorts of trouble to dump and rinse, clean, deodorize, sterilize, etc. their black tanks. They think it's vital to use the black flush every time, pour in lots of chemicals, buy RV paper, the works.
It would be amusing except these are the guys who take a half hour to dump when the line is already backed up on Sunday afternoon.
